Notes:

Roy S. Bean
Editor and Publisher of the Waterloo Chronicle

The community of Waterloo and the county was deeply shocked by the sudden passing of one of its most prominent citizens in the person of Roy Sylvester Bean, the genial and very popular proprietor of The Waterloo Chronicle. Mr. Bean came to his office after dinner to prepare his work for this issue. He disappeared for moment from his desk, and when his presence was urgently needed, he was found in the wash-room, but his work was done. He evidently bad a sudden seizure of the heart and passed away before anyone knew of his distress.

Roy Bean, as he was commonly known by his host of friends and business associates, was born in 1884 in Elmira, moving with his parents to Waterloo at a later date. He was educated in the public schools in Waterloo and Woodstock College. Later he entered business with his father. In 1922, he and his brother Clive took over the Chronicle paper and press from his father. Mr. Clive Bean retired from the partnership a few years later.

Mr. Bean was a man who was deeply interested in the welfare of the town of Waterloo and his native county. While he never sought public office, he was always pushing foreword strong men for public position and then supporting them loyally In their term of office. Among Iris business associates he was al.: ways looked up to as a man of sterling integrity and honor. His intimate friends looked upon him as a most congenial companion. In his private life the one thing that deeply characterized his life was his chummy relationship with his five boys. Among the publishers of weekly newspapers, Roy Bean was widely and favorably known. He has carried on his own paper with great credit to himself and of profit to the community which his valuable paper served.

He was an active member of First United Church, a member of the Session and Official Board, Treasurer of the Benevolent Fund, and was always ready to serve the interest of his church in every way. He was a member of the Waterloo Lodge A.F. & A.M. His favourite recreation was golf.

In 1911 he married Margaret McDougall, who survives him. He is survived by five sons, Roy M. and William M., associated with the father in The Chronicle Press, David M. interne at the K.W. Hospital, Edward in the Royal Bank, Kitchener, and John, attending the local Collegiate; two brothers, D. Alex. of Kitchener, and Clive of Toronto; and three sisters, Miss Anna R., musical director of First United Church, Miss Emma, of Kitchener, and Mrs. David Musselman, Lockwood, Sask. Funeral arrangements are not complete at the time of going to press, but will be announced later. The sympathy of the entire com• munity goes out to Mrs. Bean and the family in their sudden and sore bereavement.

Host of Friend Pay Last Respects To Roy S. Bean, Publisher, The Chronicle

Funeral on Monday One of Largest Ever Held in Waterlo. - Editor Died Suddenly in 56^th Year.

IMPRESSIVE SERVICE

Evidence of the high regress in which he was held in the community and the province was shown in the fine tribute paid by a host of friends at the last, rites on Monday far the late Roy Sylvester Bean, editor and owner of The Waterloo Chronicle.

Mr. Bean died suddenly in his plant on Thursday from a heart attack while completing his final sheets of copy for last Thursday's newspaper.

The funeral, one of the ever held in Waterloo, was held from his late residence, Albert St. The service was conducted by the Rev. E. Val. Tilton, minister of First United Church, assisted by Rev. Finlay Matheson, a former pastor, now retired and living in Kingston, Ont.

The Rev. Matheson gave the main address in which he drew analogies between the life of Moses and Enoch to that of the departed. "As Enoch walked with God and God took him unto himself, so our departed friend had been walking with God in his active life in the Christian church and now suddenly God had called him home and he thought of him now as walking on with. God," he said. The speaker paid a very warm tribute to the personal character of Mr. Bean. When he began his ministry in Waterloo their relationship was simply that of minister and parishioner but in the course of his ministry that relationship had ripened into a very warm friendship, the memory of which he will always cherish.

The Rev. Tilton began his address by saying: "We had all been so stunned by the sudden passing of our friend and loved one that it was difficult to adjust one's thinking to form a true appraisal of his life and character. It is a tragic reminder that we should all set our own houses in order for such a time as we know not of. "

These sudden deaths which are becoming altogether too common are bringing home to us all in a dramatic way the necessity for making our social and economic order more christian. The human frame is altogether too frail to stand the strain of this highly competitive order. It is altogether too costly in human resources.

Speaking of Mr. Bean, Mr. Tilton said: "There are some men who, like small stores, carry all their goods on display in their front windows, but it was not so with the, departed. He was a man of quiet reserve. While he was always deeply interested in the welfare of the community, he himself never sought public office. He sought rather to choose the strong man for the office and then to stand loyally behind him and support him in his work.

"Honesty, integrity and thrift were his dominant qualities, and these are the qualities that every community is greatly in need of at the present time. These are the qualities that he leaves as his richest inheritance to you, his boys. His sudden passing made it impossible for him to say to you what he would like to have said. May I be permitted to say to you now, what I feel he would like to say to you now, what I feel he would like to have said. First all allhe would say "carry on".

"There are some who will tell you there are short cuts to success. They will clothe these short cuts with much glamour. The true success of life are only about one per cent genius and ninety-nine per cent. hard work. I have tried to build our business around the three principles - honesty, industry and thrift. I leave to you this tradition that has been sacred to me."

Mr. Tilton concluded by saying: "You boys were his joy and his pride. Your father sought to make you his chums and to those who knew him intimately this was his marked characteristic. Therefore the most enduring monument you can build to his memory is to carry on these enriching traditions.

"Mr. Bean loved his church and served it loyally. As treasurer of the Benevolent Fund he was always deeply interested in the welfare of the needy. He always felt that the meeting of need by the handing out of some charity to meet an immediate necessity was not sufficient, but there should be some change in the whole system as would insure a decent living for all," said Mr Tilton.

The deceased was the youngest son of the late David Bean and Mary Ann Fry. All members of his family were present, including. Alexander Bean, Miss Anna Bean and Miss Emma Bean of Kitchener, Mrs. David B. Musselman (Blanche) of Lockwood, Sask., and Mr. Clive S. Bean of Toronto.

The pallbearers were Walter A. Bean, Wilfrid W. Bean and C., Aubrey Bean of Kitchener, Ellsworth Bean of New Hamburg, and W. G. Cressman of Waterloo, all nephews of the deceased, J. Maurice Scott of London, R. G. Anglin of Toronto and Harold Wilson of Waterloo.
