"Was Last Member of 27th Ia.
Richard [Rufus] Bean, who was buried from the "Little Brown Church" last Wednesday, was the last of Company G, 27th Iowa Infantry in this vicinity.
The church was packed with sorrowing relatives and friends. The Womens Relief Corps held their burial services for a comrade of the Civil War. A goodly number of the Legion members with their colors were present, and four members of the Grand Army were present. Eight grandsons of the deceased acted as pall bearers. The floral designs and flowers were exceedingly fine.
At the grave, the Legion gun squad gave their salute, taps were sounded and our comrade was left in the quiet of beautiful Greenwood."
