• Notes

  Willits Cope Binns, 72, retired Charleroi banker and member of one of the pioneer families of the central Monongahela Valley district, died at his home at 221 Lincoln Avenue this morning at 5 o'clock. He had been in ill health for two years and serious during the past few weeks. Last week, he rallied to the point where he was able to sit up but, since Friday, relatives had been prepared for the tragic eventuality. Mr. Binns was in the banking business for over 30 years, serving the majority of that time with the original Bank of Charleroi and Trust Company, subsequently the National Bank of Charleroi and Trust Company and, just prior to retirement, with the Charleroi Savings & Trust Company. Early in his banking career, he was an examiner with the State Banking Department. Willits Binns was born October 11, 1879 at the ancestral home in Fayette County and resided in the Fayette City district until a young man. He was the son of the late William H. and Elma Cope Binns. Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Janet McKean Binns at home; three brothers, James G. Binns of Adrian, West Virginia, Ben G. Binns of Monongahela, and David H. Binns, Fayette City.
