From the Lowell Daily Citizen, July 14, 1856, "Walter F. Bean, son of Samuel Bean, fined $5.00 for pasturing his cows in the street." (Son, Walter, was only 14 years old!)
From the same paper, July 25, 1857, "A John McNabb was arrested for stealing apples from the trees of Samuel Bean."
From same paper, December 1, 1858, "Samuel Bean convicted of a city ordnance in pasturing his cows in the street"
From the Lowell Daily Citizen, Tuesday, October 11, 1864, is the following: "A match was held with double teams, between horses entered by J. E. Conant and Samuel Bean for prizes of $15 for the best horse and $5 for the second. The horse owned by Samuel Bean won in three straight heats." (Wonder who drove them?) Samuel was a teamster in Lowell, as well as a farmer.
Three of Samuel's sons fought in the Union Army in the Civil War:
Lyman, Leroy and Walter. Leroy and Walter survived, but Lyman was severely wounded in 1864, and died a few months later.
Samuel's oldest son, Lathrop, was disowned by his father when he turned 18, and worked his way south. He ended up in Texas and was a Southern sympathizer.
When Samuel was 70 years old, he went to visit his son, Walter, in Hartford, Connecticut, and sadly, he died there of heart disease, in his son's home.
