The Bynam family is committed to their Goffstown community. Their father, E.B. Bynum, served as a Goffstown selectman, budget committee member, charter commission member, and historic district commissioner. You can read about this heritage in Legacy: Portrait of an Ancestor by Edward Bruce Bynum, co-authored with sons Kenneth D. Bynum and Anthony A. Bynum. Their mother, Lillie Mae Bynum, was featured in the May 12, 2016, NH Business Review for her 90th birthday. This summer, two of Edward and Lillie Mae's seven children will share some of their family stories and Goffstown history at a presentation at the library.
The Bynum Family Legacy in Goffstown
See the recording of the event held on Saturday, June 22 at the Library.
In 1961, the Bynum family, led by their patriarch Bruce E.B. Bynum, who was then serving in the United States Air Force, decided to move to Goffstown. Bruce and his wife, Lillie Mae, sought to provide their children with better opportunities and quality of life.
The oldest son, Dr. Bruce Edward Bynum, and the youngest, Anthony Ashley (Tony) Bynum, share their unique stories, intertwining Goffstown’s history and their family’s legacy. This presentation shines a light on the stories in their published books, their family and friends, the Gaelic Society, and the B&M Train Covered Bridge that was destroyed by fire in 1976.
