His injuries were about the head and scalp, while he suffered a severe shock. His condition, according to hospital officials, had not been hopeful since he was first taken to the hospital.

He is survived by his widow, formerly Harriett Lucille Carroll; six children, Gerald, Lyle, Harriett, Ruth, Wayne and Harley, Jr., and two brothers, Hugh, of Moorhead, Minn., and Will Bean, of Reinbeck.

Funeral services were held at the Reinbeck home Monday at 2:30 p.m., Rev. H. P. Schmidt, pastor First Methodist Episcopal church,, officiating.

Save for one year in Minnesota, Bean spent his entire life in and near Reinbeck.
