1010 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
He proceeded to the front, and iu less than an hour, he was shot through the heart by a rebel sharpshooter. He died the death of a hero, with his face to the foe.
His remains were recovered and sent home to Wisconsiu, and Avere buried at Waukesha. His funeral'was attended by a large concourse of people, besides Uuited States officers aud soldiers.
We feel that our short sketch does not do full justice to the character aud noble qualities of Colonel Bean, but we are assured that an extended memoir is in course of preparation by Professor Evans, of the" Michigan University, who was favored Avith the personal friendship of Colonel Bean, aud who will undoubtedly prepare a work which will do ample justice to the memory of the departed patriot.
Tavo brothers of Colonel Bean also entered the service to con¬ tribute to the suppression of the rebellion. The eldest, Walter L. Bean, in the Twenty-eighth Regiment, fell a victim to the ex¬ posures aud hardships of the serAdce, and Captain Irving M. Beau, of the Fifth Regiment, is the only survivor.
