6373. Frank H. BEAN was born on 18 March 1849 in East Bridgewater, Plymouth, Massachusetts.¹⁴⁵⁹ He died on 14 July 1933 at the age of 84 in Somerville, Middlesex, Massachusetts.¹⁴⁵⁹ He was 84 years old. Frank was a tall, strapping young man, good with his hands, and a great help to his parents.

Frank H. BEAN and Martha A. COLLINS were married in 1875.¹⁴⁵⁹ They adopted a child and named him "Seth" but he died young. They never had any other children. Frank worked in the iron foundries in Boston early in their marriage, then became an illustrator for a company that produced stereopticon equipment (that handheld goodie that folks used to put a picture card into and hold it up to their eyes and see it in "3D"). After Martha died, Frank never remarried, but he did later buy a home in 1920 in Somerville, MA, where he lived with Martha's widowed sister, Ida Collins McCarthy, as his companion, until his death in 1933.

Martha A. COLLINS died on 6 August 1903 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts.¹⁴⁵⁹
