Emily Swift was born in Allegheny county, N.Y., June 11, 1820, and died in Colby, Kans., April 18, 1894, aged 73 years, 10 months, 7 days. She was married to H. D. Bean in Rushford, N.Y., Sept. 10, 1843, thus living together over fifty years.

There were born to them nine children, seven daughters and two sons. One son and one daughter are dead. Her husband survives her, together with seven children and twenty grand children.

She was converted at an early age and united with the Presbyterian church, and lived a consistent Christian life. She was in feeble health for many years, but was always uncomplaining and left the assurance to those around her of a better and happier life in the world to come.

The funeral took place from the family residence, Friday morning, April 20, and was largely attended by sympathizing friends and neighbors, and the remains laid away to rest in Beulah cemetery. The services were conducted by Rev. Welch, of the Presbyterian church, in which he was assisted by Rev. Cox, of the Methodist church.
