The mystery regarding the coffin found in leveling the hill back of Bean 
homestead is explained. The coffin was empty but once contained the remains of 
Mrs. Wadleigh, mother of Charles Bean's first wife, who was buried there over 
40 years. Rev. A.W. Dodge and several others of our older residents attended 
the funeral. The remains were subsequently removed by Mr. Bean to Oakhill 
cemetery. As the coffin was badly decayed, it was left in the grave, ad remains 
were placed in a new casket. The grave was kept enclosed with a picket fence 
until after the removal. With the decay of the fence, all mark of the spot was 
lost.
