BEAN, MRS. MARY C. FEBRUARY 13, 1895 Card of Thanks - We wish to express our most sincere thanks to all the kind friends who assisted us during the illness and departure of our dear mother. R. P. Bean, R. W. Bean.

Obituary - Mrs. Mary C. Bean, widow of John M. Bean deceased, died Jan. 30th at her son's (R. P. Bean) home near Acequia, of la grippe and enfeebled old age. Mrs. Bean was born in Gilead, Me., April 23, 1807, was the daughter of John Mason, Esq., one of the early settlers in Gilead, and settled on a farm adjoining the home place soon after her marriage with John M. Bean in 1829, where she resided until she came west with her son. R. W. Bean, where she has ever since found a happy home with her two sons and their families.

She was the mother of eight children, five of whom survive her; the oldest, Alphonso F. Bean, of Pekin, Iowa, John M. Bean, of Greenfield, Iowa, R. P. and R. W. Bean, of the county, and a daughter, Alfreda, the wife of Alverton Farwell, of West Bethel, Maine. She was the tenth child of a family of thirteen, only one of which survive her, viz: Moses Mason, aged 80, living on the old homestead place in Gilead.

During her long life she was the friend of all and many outside of her family and circle of friends will miss her kind words and gentle face.

The funeral services were held Friday, Feb. 1st, at her late home attended by her relatives and a large number of friends, Rev. Hicks of the Presbyterian church of Littleton officiating, after which she was laid to rest in the cemetery at Littleton beside those who had gone before and awaited her coming.

'We miss thee from our home, dear mother, We miss thee from thy place, As shadow o'er our life is cast, We miss the sunshine of thy face.'
