ROBERT H. BEAN
"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 indomintable 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.

BOY NEAR DEATH IN WATER
14 Year Old Robert Bean is Saved by A.J. Rummele
Prompt assistance rendered by A. J. Rummele who was in a launch with a party of friends and saw the boy's predicament, is all that saved Robert Bean, fourteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Bean, from drowning at Rapids on Monday. The lad who was in bathing got out beyond his depth and was struggling for life underneath the surface when Mr. Rummele partially disrobed and diving from the launch brought the boy to land just as he was growing too weak to make further efforts to save himself. Resuscitation was not difficult because the lad had swallowed only a little water and was able to get to his home unassisted.
