Bean, father of Charles and Jacob Bean Jr., of the lumbering firm of Hersey, Bean, & Brown, of this city, died at the residence of his son Charles on Saturday Sept. 4, 1875, at 9 o'clock p.m., at the advanced age of eighty years and about three months. Mr. Bean was born in Sandwich, New Hampshire, June 8, 1795, was united in marriage with Miss Jane Danforth in Eaton, N.H., Dec. 1, 1819, and settled in Sandwich, N.H. where they remained until the year 1834, when they removed to Orono, Maine, in which place they resided until the year 1866, when they removed to Stillwater, Minnesota, in order to be near their children. They were the parents of six children. The first two died in infancy. The third child, a promising boy, died at the age of thirteen years, the other three, Charles, Jacob, and Elizabeth, (or Mrs. S.S. Morton) are all heads of families and honored members of society in this city, too well and favorably known to need any comments in that direction. All being near at hand, they were enabled to be with him in his last sickness, to cheer and administer to his comfort. Mr. Bean was a good man, beloved and highly respected by all who knew him East and West. He took great pleasure in caring for the poor. He was a great lover of the right, and as one of our citizens remarked in speaking of him, "He not only disdained to do a dishonorable thing himself, but seemed surprised that others would." He was a man of wonderful constitution and always a hard working man. He remarked to the writer on one occassion that he ought not to complain of his suffering, for he presumed he had brought it on largely by imprudence in overworking in former years. He had been afflicted with asthma for about 20 years. But in spite of all this he had not only reached his allotted "three score years and ten," but "by reason of strength" his" four score." It is an item of interest worth noting that he was soldier in the war of 1812. His old chronic trouble was aggravated as he thought, by his taking cold while away from home on a visit several weeks before his death. He hastened home and took his bed from which he never got up. Father Bean experienced religion and united with the Methodist church over 40 years ago, in his Eastern home . In conversation with him a few days before his death he assured us that Jesus was very precious to him, and that he had abundant reason to trust Him with all his heart who had been such a true and abiding friend in all these years of the past. Two days before his death he conversed freely with his son Charles about dying, and made what suggestions he desired with regard to his business, and assured his children that he should be happy in eternity through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. The funeral took place on Monday September 6 and was largely attended by the citizen[s] of Stillwater, and a large number of friends from Minneapolis. The services were conducted by Rev. J.H. Macomber, Pastor of the Methodist church, assisted by Rev. I.N. Otis, pastor of the First Presbyterian church.

Wednesday 3, 1886 Quietly Passed Away Daniel Elliott, proprietor of the Elliott house, Nos. 118-120 South Third street , died very suddenly in his room at the hotel at an early hour this morning. The immediate cause of his death was a failure of the heart’s action. Mr. Elliott had been more or less of an invalid for the past eight years, having been stricken with a severe illness at the time indicated, but it was not until last June that he became completely prostrated. His malady took the form of a complication of illnesses in which sore eyes and neuralgic pains figured conspicuously. He was also much debilitated. He struggled along through the summer months, now better, now worse, but always cheerful. With the cooler weather of the fall came a change for the better, and for a time Mr. Elliott regained considerable of his lost health and was very bouyant [sic] in spirits. With the coming of the chilling blasts of winter he contracted a severe cold, and the neuralgic pains returned causing him much pain. At one time his face was badly swollen and he suffered severely day and night but bore the pain heroically. He rallied from this affliction only to be assailed by another for again he contracted a severe cold. This was two or three weeks ago. Since then he has been in a very feeble condition, and his friends knew that his time on earth was slowly drawing to a close, but his death at this time was wholly unexpected. Yesterday and last night he was in much the same condition he had been in for several days, very weak and afflicted with a troublesome cough. He was attended by members of his family who administered the medicines prescribed by the family physician, at regular intervals. At 3:30 o’clock this morning Mrs. Elliott, who occupied a room adjoining that of her husband there being a door leading from one apartment to the other, entered the sick room and administered a dose of medicine to the patient who seemed to be resting easily. His wife left him sleeping quietly. At 6 o’clock she entered the room again and found him dead. He had passed away without a struggle, his features bearing the expression of peaceful slumber. Deceased was born in County Derry in the north of Ireland and was in the 58th year of his age at the time of his death. When quite young he removed from his native county to St. Johns , N. B. where he lived for several years. Thirty years ago he came to Stillwater , where he continued to reside up to the time of his death. Some twenty-six years ago he was married in this city to Miss Mary A. McDermott, who survives him, together with two sons, James and Frank and a daughter, Miss Emma. He also leaves three brothers, Edward of this city, James of Oak Park, and William of Grant township. Mr. Elliott was well known and highly respected in this city and county. For six years, (two terms,) he was a member of the city council. Before his illness he engaged each winter in the lumbering business in which he was successful. A year ago he built the Elliott house, in which he, in conjunction with his son James, has successfully carried on the hotel business since. He was of an affable nature and a pleasant companion. He had no idea that he was in immediate danger of death, and only on Thursday spoke of changes and improvements he intended to make up on his property in the spring. He was an honorary member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians which order will conduct his funeral from his late residence on Monday at 9 a.m. FOGLE, Henry C.
