  • Notes 
    • "The sudden and unexpected death of one of Kitchener's oldest and most respected residents, Mrs. Margaret Bean, took place on Sunday evening about 5: 30 o'clock following an attack of apoplexy. The deceased, who was 87 years of age a few weeks ago, attended the Children's Day exercises and the regular service in Zion Church on Sunday morning, and after partaking of a hearty dinner she retired to her room as usual. On their return after a few hours absence, her daughter, Mrs. Bender, went upstairs and was shocked to find her mother on the floor in her room cold in death. No one was near. Her death was a peaceful one.

      Mrs. Bean moved here with her family from Mildmay over 32 years ago, where her husband Mr. Daniel Bean, died a year previous, and where they had lived for eight years. Mrs. Bean was born in Chippewa on the Canadian side of the Niagara River, on May 30th 1831, and in the fall of the same year she moved with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Hailer, to near German Mills, later removing to what was then the beginning of this city. Growing to womanhood, she wedded Rev. Jacob Wagner, with whom she lived a few brief years until his death. Later she was wedded to Mr. Daniel Bean, who in the early sixties, taught school in the vicinity of Freeport and later in Dundee, and Dashwood, after which he took up farming on the original Bean homestead in Blandford Township, Oxford County, and then moving to Mildmay in 1878. She saw this city grow from a few houses to the present status of a city, as also the church of her choice, in which she was a life member and an active and energetic worker in various departments. She had many friends by whom she will be greatly missed and for whom she always had a cheerful and comforting word.

      She leaves to mourn her sudden departure four sons and four daughters; Rev. L. H. Wagner, Supt. of N. W. Missions of the Evang. Association; Mrs. Hy. R. Bates, Elgin, Ill.; Rev. E. H. Bean, Milverton; Mrs. Hy. N. Schmidt, S. Dakota; Mrs. E. M. Haist, Buffalo; S. U. Bean, Kitchener; Rev. J. Wesley Bean, Mt. Elgin; Mrs. A. C. Bender, Kitchener; also 33 grand children and 7 great-grandchildren. Mrs. Hy. S. Dickert, Regina, Sask.; and Mrs. Fred Schnittker, Bruce County, are stepdaughters"
