When our company founder, William.H. Stufflebeam, decided over a century ago that Bingham County, Idaho was in need of an abstract business in order to keep more accurate land records; he couldn't have imagined it would grow to be one of the largest regional title companies in the western United States. Born in White Hall, New York W.H. Stufflebeam came west when his family moved to the Springfield area of Bingham County to start a cattle ranching operation in the late 1800's. As an adult, he moved to Washington, D.C. to take a job with the U.S. Treasury Department. Years later, while still working for the U.S. Treasury, he came back West to a close a bank in Rexburg and ended up settling in Blackfoot, where there was a need for a business that did title abstracts of the county's land records. He started the business by indexing each parcel of land by hand, and later his company "The Bingham Title & Trust Company" started writing title insurance and doing escrow closings. W.H. married Ruth Hilliard in 1929.
