     DR. HAROLD C. BEAN, who has been engaged in the practice of medicine in 
Portland for the past ten years, is recognized as possessing to a marked 
degree the essential qualifications of the successful physician and is worthy 
of the high place which he holds in public regard. Born in Eugene, Oregon, on 
the 28th of December, 1889, he is a son of Robert Sharp and Ina E. (Condon) 
Bean. His father was born on a farm in Yamhill county, Oregon, November 28, 
1854, and is a member of one of the old pioneer families of the state. The 
grandfather, Obediah R. Bean, was born in Clay county, Missouri, in 1832, and 
at the age of twenty years started across the plains for Oregon. He settled in 
Yamhill county, where he followed agricultural pursuits during the remainder 
of his life. In that county he married Julia Ann Sharp, and both are deceased, 
Mr. Bean dying in 1890 and his wife in 1908. Robert S. Bean was reared on a 
farm in Lane county, whither his parents had moved in 1855, and there he 
attended the district schools. Later he entered Christian College, at 
Monmouth, and was graduated in 1873, after which he matriculated in the 
University of Oregon, from which he graduated in 1873 with the first class to 
leave that institution. Prior to his graduation he was admitted to the bar and 
located in Eugene, where he practiced law until 1882, when he was elected 
circuit judge of the second judicial district, in which capacity he served 
until 1890. In the latter year he was elected to the bench of the state 
supreme court, of which he remained a member for nineteen years. In 1909 he 
was appointed by President Taft United States district judge of the district 
of Oregon, in which capacity he has served continuously to the present time, 
thus presenting the remarkable record of forty-six years of service as a 
jurist. The Judge is a Knight Templar Mason, has served for many years as 
president of the board of regents of the University of Oregon, and is a member 
of the Arlington Club. On September 7, 1880, in Eugene, Oregon, Judge Bean was 
married to Miss Ina E. Condon, a daughter of the late Prof. Thomas Condon, of 
the University of Oregon, and to them were born five children, namely: Condon 
Roy, of Seattle, Washington; Ormond R., who is a graduate of the University of 
Oregon; Harold Cedric; Robert Douglas; and Ernest Gerald, deceased.

     Harold C. Bean attended the public schools of Salem and graduated from 
the high school at Eugene, after which he entered the University of Oregon, 
from which he was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1912. He 
matriculated in the medical school of Johns Hopkins University, at Baltimore, 
Maryland, and after receiving the degree of Doctor of Medicine he served as 
interne in the hospital connected with that institution. He took postgraduate 
work at the University of Chicago, and in 1917 joined the medical corps of the 
English army, serving in Flanders during 1917-18. In the latter year he came 
to Portland and engaged in the practice of medicine, in which he has continued 
to the present time, specializing in internal diagnosis and medicine, in which 
he has been distinctively successful.

    In 1917, in Baltimore, Maryland, Dr. Bean was united in marriage to Miss 
Esther Gilmer, and they are the parents of a daughter, Janet Sharp, who is now 
about five years old. Dr. Bean is a member of Imperial Lodge, No. 159, A. F. & 
A. M.; Portland Consistory, A. A. S. R.; the Arlington Club and the Columbia 
Country Club, and maintains professional affiliation with the Multnomah County 
Medical Society of which he is a past president, and the Oregon State Medical 
Society, and the Portland Academy of Medicine and is assistant professor of 
medicine in the medical school of the University of Oregon at Portland.
