Death of Mrs. Bean

Mrs. Diantha Bean of Reasnor, an old resident of Jasper County, died Saturday afternoon, after a sickness of six months.

The deceased was born January 22, 1832, in Belmont, Maine, where she remained with her parents until she was six years old. They then moved to Ohio, where she was married at the age of 18 to Joseph Bean. In 1868 they came to Jasper County, Iowa, and located where they lived until death called her home. There were seven children born to them, five of which survive her ­ Chas. F., Alonzo, Harvey, Eugene and Frank. Her husband died only a little over a week ago.

Mrs. Bean professed the Christian religion in early life and always lived a true Christian life.

The funeral was held at the U. P. Church in Wild Cat Grove at 12 o’clock Monday, Rev. Dunlavy of Reasnor officiating. There was a very large attendance and the service was a very solemn and impressive one. ~ The Newton Record Friday, December 17, 1897
