Notes for M
OSES T BEAN:
Maine Vital Records showed a marriage between Moses Bean and a Mary E Jones-from Banger Maine. I don't think this is correct.

Some vital records have Moses R Bean, some have Moses F Bean. Not sure which is correct.

Verse below Bible reads:
'Tis hard to break the tender cord,
When love has bound the heart,
'Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words,
Must we forever part?
Dearest loved one, we have laid thee
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished,
'Til we see thy Heavenly face.

STORIES FROM THE FARM IN MT. VERNON, MAINE
Taken from Ione Thompson Bean's Family Trunk
Located at Donna Firestone Moya's Home in Hemet, California

1) Mother Bean tells of a stranger that came up on the hill one cold day and warmed the dynamite he was carrying in our kitchen.

2) We had a nice milk cow, Daisy or Kate that chewed the wooden fence and got real sick. She had to be put away and found her problem. She had swallowed nails from the fence and they were sticking through the holes in the stomach lining.

3) The Bean children wanted to go to the village for a 4th of July celebration but that was the day we had to pick potato bugs from the vines with an old spoon and a small can holding a small amount of kerosene. We were disappointed but it was necessary to do the work and nobody complained.

4) Dad Bean brought home a little cossett (Pet) lamb and as he opened the short sack (we call it gunny sack in California) the little lamb ran to the field in back of the house. This was a sort of pasture land and there were many rocks. Mother Bean thought she could coax the lamb with one of Dorothy's milk bottles using a nipple. She handed the bottle of milk to Gertrude who approached the lamb slowly holding the bottle of milk behind her. Mother Bean gave directions from the doorway and told Gertrude to "Show it" to the lamb (since Gertrude was still holding the bottle behind her. Gertrude thot Mother Bean said "Yhrow it," and tho it didn't seem quite right she did as she thot she was told and threw the bottle which landed promptly on a rock.

5) Dad Bean came into the house from the barn one morning early very sad and told us that our pet kitten had strayed into the barn with the cows and one of the cows had laid on the kitten and killed it. Lots of mourning!

6) We had a mother cat that gave birth to a litter of kittens that were half skunk. They had beautiful wavy hair, were extra smart and had no odor.

7) Dad Bean yelled from the barn one day to Mother Bean to get all the children inside the house and then look up the road a short distance and see the moose standing there, looking down at our house. What a sight that was to see that huge animal with antlers standing right there in front of us. He didn't seem to be afraid but ambled away into the bruch.

8) We had a large barrel churn on the farm that stood in a frame. We took turns turning the handle so the barrel would turn end over end. There was a small peep hole in the cover covered with glass, so we could tell when the butter had "Come". One day Dorothy was turning the churn when Mother Bean thot it was time to fasten the barrel with a little hock and take off the cover, only she didn't fasten the hook or get the cover clamped on. Dorothy thot it was time to turn it so you know what happened-buttermilk and little gobs of butter on the floor.

9) Our loved driving horse was white and we called her "Gypsy". She had a cold that was black and we called her "Gypsy Junior". One day while our Dad was driving back home after being down at the village, the mother Gypsy dropped dead. My how badly he felt and of course had to walk home and get some help. We mourned about this for a long time. Gypsy Junior was very tame and as she would feed along the brook, Gertrude, then about 3 years old would stand in front of her until she fed up to her feet, then step back and watch her feed up to her feet again. They did this over and over.

10) Dad Bean had a brother, Frank Bean and his wife Rettie. They lived in Mt. Vernon, Maine and took a boy to raise by the name of Ralph Curtis. Ralph was like a cousin to us and we thot a lot of him. He kept in touch with Mother and Dad Bean all through the years in California until his death. He surely was a fine fellow. He and his wife, Katherine get together with Walter and Anna Bean and they did things together for many years. When just a boy, he would come up the hill from the village where he lived and visit the Bean family on Carr Hill. He was great at flying kites and taught us how to make them and fly them afterward. One day he took a small piece of paper and fastened it to the kite string and put a bug in it and let it slide up the string. We thot that was really something! He also taught us how to make the little square paper boxes by folding a certain way and cutting out some corners. We still make these boxes on occasion. He always prefaced the box making by saying "You take a square piece of paper", then he would make a funny little whistle by curling his upper lip over his teeth and squeezing the air out.

11) We couldn't afford fancy sleds in the winter time so Dad Bean and the boys took barrel staves (barrels were plentiful then as we had the apple pickers come every Fall and they used these large barrels to pack the apples for shipment) The barrel staves were fastened together somehow so both ends turned up a little and we used them in place of sleds and our special name for them was "Ring-em-Dingus". Think Ralph Curtis might have helped us with these too as we remember sliding over one snowy mound, down in a gully and up over another mound and finally came to one we couldn't get over so ended in a snowbank.

12) Think Walter put the rest of us up to this--we'd swipe pieces from the rattan arm chairs and use them for smoking. We also had clay pipes and would gather pennyroyal and dry it and put into the clay pipes and smoke them. Poor chairs, they began to look pretty "Ratty".

13) We had a telephone on the Farm, an old fashioned crank type that hung on the wall. One day Mother was talking to Aunt Lou Bean (Emery's wife) and she started laughing and laughing. It took my attention so I asked her what she was laughing about. She said Aunt Lou had told a joke-- A Mother was talking to her little boy about going to Heaven and she explained that the old lady didn't go, just the soul. The little boy said "But Mother, if my soul goes to Heaven, what am I going to button my pants to?"

14) On November 25, 1905, Gertrude was 3 years old. A lady visitor came to see Mother Bean and they stood at the door for a few minutes just greeting one another while I was tugging at the visitor's skirt. I kept saying over and over " IM free years old todan" "I'm free years old today!" and mother Bean and the visitor ignored Gertrude for a while but finally the visitor acknowledged Gertrude and her great announcement.

15) Donald Bean had a gift of some little harness and reins to use when two children play "horse" together. He and Gertrude were playing with them when Gertrude broke the reins,, whether accidentally or on purpose, I cannot say. Dad Bean told her to tell her brother she was sorry but she would not so he said she would have to go down to the cellar until she would say it. Gertrude wasn't sorry and wouldn't say so but Mother Bean interfaced and kept her from going to the cellar.

(I made no corrections in spelling or punctuation of this document.)

Letter found in Grandma Bean’s Trunk-from Donna Firestone Moya August 1999
Letter from Millie Parker, Mount Vernon Maine
to Mrs. George M Bean, Hemet, California
Dated 7-27-1919


My Dear Onie:

Your letter of the 6th Mar(?) was received in due time and did me such a lot of good. At this time I was on crutches for I had a boil on my stump. I am thankful to say I was on crutches for only 10 days. This ?? years ago I had to use them for six weeks for the same reason.

I ?? hardly realize that you are a "grandma". I know just how you love that baby for our Lane ?? grandchildren. Barbara, four yrs. Last April and Carl Fremont Davis Jr. ?(1 mo.) last May. Avis’s boy, Richard Parline? Howe, was one year old last April.

Carl and Doris Lane bought a house with a large garden plot in Runeford? And Carl’s business grows better every year. Carl’s health is very good. Tho ?? years ago he had almost a nervous breakdown and had a time bad place ?? ?? lung. He had to be very careful, but with treatment he is apparently all right again. He had offered his services in his line of work to the government, but was never called. The examining surgeon (who was a personal friend) said he could not pass, had he been called. Avis husband, Leland, was on the list for R.R. employees to go across, but was not selected, and later was put in the 4th class as he had a dependant wife and child and was in government employ.

Last Sept, Leland was one of the first influenza victims, it developed into pneumonia from which he recovered difficulty to walk a few steps, where he had a relapse and for several days in bed no expectation that he would live, all the Dr would say was "while ?? life theres hope." During that time Avis had influenza and was in bed many weeks. The nurse had influenza and others who came in to help had it. They had 3 trained nurses beside others who had partial training. It was the week before Thanksgiving before Leland was able to take the trip down here. They were here till into Dec. and he went back to work just about Christmas time.

Avis lives in Watertown, Mass. In Will’s brother ?Jons’s? house. ? Jon’s wife is dead so Avis runs the house as her own and for ?Jon lives with her. This last winter Mildred had been there boarding with Avis and going to the High School. She had done one year, and one ?? work in this H.S. but on going to Mass. The work was so differently planned that ?? thought is advisable for her to begin with the first year, which she did so this Fall she starts on the second years work. It was an awful thing for Will and me to send her away, but it was a good chance , with Avis to look after her, We knew Avis care would be a loving care that couldn’t be found in a boarding school.

Mildred came home June 28th and will be here til Sept. 10th. Just this minute she had gone out to C.E. meeting which she leads tonight. She joined this church last summer, and is a faithful consistent member in my opinion. Rev M Border?? Is the present pastor, had been here since a year ago last Christmas. Has a wife but no children. Is 40 or there abouts. A good man but just an ordinary preacher. Congregations as the Baptist, as well as at the Methodists, are small as a rule.

Will finished our haying the middle of the month, but since has been helping cut the grass in Free??? Place. Eda has not lived there since a year last Oct. except a week or so occasionally. This winter she was housekeeping for a family in Roxbury, Mass. Since then has been with Guy and Carl??

Edgar Robinson died this last Feb. Nathaniel was in France in Grench Y.M.C.A. work during all the war. He came home and has been carrying on the farm since, but I think intends teaching again as he did before the war. Maggie said recently they thought of getting someone to carry on the place at the halves?? The Mallie French’s live in Minot?? The McKays who live there are nice people. Dr Black bought the Movis Philbrick place in the village and fixed it up. Randalls live on the Balck-McGoffey farm and seem to be nice people. Carrie’s brothers live on the Joacobs place next to us in the corner. The younger one married W??? Robinson’s daughter Live and they have a young son. Henry Gordon and Abby live in the Henry Mooer’s house and we find them nice neighbors. Geo. Gilman who with his housekeeper and son live in Arabine’s house, he had recently had a stroke(?? 2nd or 3rd) and remains hopelessly paralyzed.

Aunt Lydia Robinson is still living and is in good health, she 95 years old but mind is not as good. She is very forgetful, but is just as dear and pleasant to meet as ever. The village high was taught by a Mrs. Shattuck who was a splendid teacher, the other village school teacher was Miss Chandler of Belgrade. There had been a school in this district for the past year. A Miss Sawyer teaching all except the high, had good attendance, but so many high school scholars go out of town, they are considering making this a junior high.

Edna Carson still lives in the old place. The first of July she left the P.O after 25 yrs service as assistant and Postmastress. Mrs. Redonnet who lived on the So. Doeloff farm has taken her place. Clyde Jacobs, a year after his marriage to Hilda Luce ran away with another girl from "up country" and nothing was heard of him till recently Rose has had letter. He is in Texas and doing well financially so he said. Hilda obtained a divorce sometime ago and resumed her maiden name. Mrs Burback still lives in her old home and changes very little in her appearance. Also Eben?? L lives on , he was 102 last Jan. his mind lapses occasionally, otherwise he is much the same only he gets out less. Ralph and Caroline live in the A.P. Cran?? House, they have changed it completely inside. On the right of the front door (what used to be Mrs. Walkers) they have an increased dining room they built a pantry in to connect with the kitchen, had hot and cold water, electric lights and furnace and hardwood floors. 1 month back rooms upstairs. The door that faced the street was taken out and long windows put in, the entry taken into the old setting room making a beautiful large living room with hard wood floor. They have a car and get much enjoyment from life tho I know it is a grief to them that they have no children. Ralph does quite a lot of farming to be out doors. Louise had been gone all winter and so far has not returned. Last summer ?? and family were here for a number of weeks. Her oldest daughter is married and has a child. The younger daughter was in a Western college. Rose Jacobs lives in the Trrle house next the Baptist church. Just now Merlin and family live there, the Merlin is a seemed?? Charlie Manure for morning. (??)
Florence and Jona Mansur are visiting in town, tho I haven’t seen them I saw Florences 2nd child who is a splendid looking boy of 3 yrs. The Russ’ still keep their house. Florence and Marvin were in Coburn Classical in Waterville?? This past year. Florence graduated of domestic science and has been in the Livermore school this last year. Mrs. R. was in Waterville during the spring but is at home now. Mrs. R occasionally visits home a day or so, but it seems a queer way to live. Every boy of Mt. V. has returned safely from the war. John Carroll Macbee was wounded but recovered. A Sevenson of Vienna lost a part of his hand and Kenneth Webber of Vienna (Egypt locality") died in camp of pneumonia. There were 35 boys in the service from Mt. V. some didn’t live here but their parents did, and they gave their residence as Mt. V. The hotel is open this year after being closed for a longtime.

We have a corn factory at the village in what used to be the Hotel livery stable. Hords run a creamery sub-station also(Wiseman of Leviston the ?? think ) very hard to read not sure what it says.. the latter is a temporary affair. Will has an acre of corn for the factory, a lot of string beans for the factory too. An acre or more of yellow and ?????? corn, beside an acre of wheat and several oats, potatoes and a fine garden. The trees in front of "your house" on the hill have grown wonderfully. Esponmette’s live there, kindly folks but not just our port. Your letter telling of all the fruits makes my mouth water, but I do not like the hot weather.

My age keeps me going from one small ailment into another till sometimes life seems a burden. But I’m glad to live along for Mildred’s sake, if for no other reason. A girl of that age needs a mother if they ever do. We talk of seeing the farm, but I really do not want to leave Mt. V now. For most of my life has been spent here. Until Mildred is through school we need to stay on the farm to make the money for the expenses. Will gets discouraged sometimes. But seldom for his health is as good as ever apparently, but I can’t seem to keep up my end of the work. Last summer a cartilage slipped out in my one and only knee so I was almost helpless. I took a number of osteopath treatments which helped that as well as helping me all over. The knee still troubles me by spells and I have rheumatism in it too.

No, me have no auto tho I want one and feel we could have one all right, but Will doesn’t take kindly to the idea yet. Most everyone has one around us, teams rarely go by the house now on Sundays, its all autos.

Mon. P.M. I left this for Mildred came home from meeting, 26 there. Will is planning to go over to Doris’s this week so I’m trying to get ready to go too. One day more Will finish the haying. Doris note Carl would drive over for us, it’s 45 miles, he has an Overland. Horace Hall and his wife will stay here with Mildred and we plan to be gone a week. I forgot to tell you that Berta ??? Crawford of Seattle had a son born the 20th Mar. and Ola Fairbanks Blood of Dover, ME had a son last week.

This afternoon Mildred has gone to Belgrade with my artificial legs to have them looked after for minor repairs. Luckily for me a man has moved there from Mass. Who does such work.

I expect you will need glasses by the time you have finished this, --but ???? I don’t do it often so you’ll forgive me. I hope you are feeling well and that this will be the best year you have ever ??????. If you have snap shots of the girls do send them. I will enclose some if I can find them. Those of Mildred were taken as Avis’s she was trying to keep from laughing in the "summer" picture. Remember us all to George and the boys. Write when you can. Wish love to you and the girls =Millie
