FRED SENECA BEAN, the son of Jonas N. and Mary (Richardson) Bean, was
born in Hudson, February 22, 1854, and died in Manchester, of
consumption, March 16, 1906. Mr. Bean graduated from the Manchester
High School at the age of eighteen years, learned the machinist's
trade in the Amoskeag shops and became, in 1877, the foreman of
construction in Blood's Locomotive Works, and it was said that he knew
more of the application of steam than any other man in Manchester. He
was a member of the Manchester fire department for thirty-one years,
for more than two-thirds of this time as assistant engineer. He
married, in 1885, Miss Viola Smith, of Lowell, Mass., who, with four
daughters, survives him.
