Notes:

He was born in North Carolina on April 28, 1829. When but 4 years old he was brought to this County, where he has spent most of his life.

In 1850 he went with a company of pioneers from this county to California, where he worked in the mines. He was one of the most industrious of men, and was never known to shirk at his post of duty. He was a man whom no one in general could dislike.

He was ever ready to lend a helping hand to the needy and afflicted or to do a neighbor a favor.

During his illness he suffered greatly. All that medical aid and careful nursing could do was done for him, but all in vain; At 3 a.m. on Dec. 16th his spirit took its flight, and the people of Parker lost a kind neighbor and his wife and children a kind and loving husband and father.

Notes:

On Sunday last the grim tyrant Death came, and with his scythe removed from our midst old uncle Isaac Bean, in the ninety-third year of his age.

He immigrated to this county in 1832, with his parents, from North Carolina, who died and were buried on the old home place, and where he, too, was laid away to rest on Monday last. His wife, who died about seven years ago, is also buried in the same yard.

Mr. Bean was one among the oldest men in this section of country, and one of the oldest pioneers, having resided at one place six miles north of town for fifty one years. He was one of the remarkable men of the age; there breathed no more honest a man than uncle Isaac Bean; he regarded his word equal to his oath, and just as ready to condemn a man for not doing right by his fellowman. He made no profession of christianity, but in practice and principle he was a true christian.

He leaves six grown children, three boys and three girls, all of whom are known to our people. He died at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. M. Tarable, just across the road from his house. As stated, he was buried on his farm beside his wife, father and mother, the latter having died in 1887. Peace to the venerable pioneer's ashes.
