ROBERT H. BEAN cemetery #44 "BOBBY" BEAN'S LONG FIGHT IS ENDED BY DEATH Bed Ridden For Seven Years, Cheerful Sufferer Released Saturday Death, which came to him late Saturday afternoon, ended the long vigil of "Bobby" Bean who for seven years, a hopeless invalid, had cheerfully faced the inevitable with calm resignation and a spirit of indomnitable courage that won admiration. The end came at the home of his parents Mr. and Mrs. George Bean, Fourteenth street and was sudden, although it was realized that life might pass at any time. At the request of Mr. Bean, expressed often, the body was taken to the Wattawa chapel from where funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon, the Rev. Schreiber officiating. The chapel will be open this evening from 7 to 9 for convenience of friends who may wish to see the body. Tragedy Engulfs Him Tragedy, terrible and dark, engulfed the life of "Bobby" Bean, as he was familiarly known to Manitowoc in boy and youth. It shadowed him even before the terrible accident which seven years ago left him a helpless cripple and invalid, but through it all he manifested a most remarkable courage and fortitude and accepted his fate with a cheerfulness that astonished even those who knew him best. There was never a time when "Bob" Bean whimpered or bemoaned fate; at all times his friends found him waiting them with a cheerful word and a smile. Mr. Bean suffered the fatal injuries which caused his death seven years ago while chief engineer on an ocean liner en route from New York to Honduras. Some defect in the engine necessitated repairs and a large steel hoist was used in the work. Bean was operating the hoist when there was a break in the machinery and the big weight fell, burying the engineer under tons of steel and iron. When Bean was taken from beneath the debris of the wrecked hoist, he was thought dead but the steamer was turned from her course and speeded to Charleston, S.C., where Mr. Bean was rushed to the hospital and after X-ray examination, operated upon. It was found that he had suffered a fracture of the skull, a broken back, lacerated spine, crushed ribs and was paralyzed from the hips down. No hope was entertained that he could live but from day to day he improved and was finally able to be brought here, although helpless. He spent months in the hospitals before returning here. Becomes Ad Writer Although paralyzed from the hips down, Mr. Bean regained his mental faculties completely and developed unknown talent and engaged in business as an advertising writer which he followed for a long time. Later he removed to New Orleans where he established a boarding house and directed its management with success, through this means providing for himself and family. He returned here some time ago and had been with his parents to the end. Born in This City Mr. Bean was born in this city on March 10, 1892, being 36 years of age at his death. He attended the local schools and previous to going east to follow the ocean, had conducted the former Staudt hotel for some time. Besides his parents Mr. and Mrs. George Bean he is survived by two children, Louise and James. Although Mr. Bean had suffered but little after leaving the hospital and had received every care, the death comes as a relief to end the long waiting for the inevitable.

She was for the most part a modest woman who worked hard and took great care of her humble possessions, who took delight in and saw the humor in life's daily ironies; but who was singularly outrageous in her outspoken pride in her children. Mom gave to us a keen awareness of current political dialogue and a moral compass anchored in justice and fairness; a strong Depression born value of conservatism and the importance of caring for our belongings; a transforming ability to perceive beauty in everything around her; an unfailing generosity of spirit; a depth of honesty that tolerated only "little white lies" meant to protect a passive nature; a droll, impish sense of humor that helped redefine life's ironies; and, a stubborness that could defy the strongest of wills. Her support and enthusiasm for us in times of success, and comfort and encouragement for us in times of despair will sustain us for the rest of our lives.
