      BEAN, U. GRANT. His father was David Bean, who was born Nov. 12, 1830, in Wilmot Township,Waterloo County, Ontario, Canada, and his mother was Anna Martha Truemner and born July 28, 1837, in Gilseberg, Tryso County, Kurhessen, Germany. The subject of this sketch was born in Huron County, Canada, June 20, 1868. They came to Michigan in 1878. Married Emma Dietzel . Her father was Traugott Dietzel, who was born in Saxenweimer, Germany, Nov. 22, 1834, and her mother was Ernestina Blacksmith, born in Welshendorf, Germany, Aug. 27, 1844. Children are: Martha Madeline, born April 6, 1893, and Edith Helen, born March 31, 1896. Mr. Bean's father died when he was 11 years old and he with his mother and five brothers moved to Winsor Township when it was nothing but a wilderness of green swampy land. After years of toil and hardship, such as early settlers only know, he has succeeded in clearing and paying for one of the best 80-acre farms in Winsor Township. Mr. Bean has five sisters and three brothers living and one brother who is dead.
