Re: Flora Bean Funkhouser Illinois - Iowa

Hello, apparently we have been doing the same census researches.Alexander is buried in Pender. I have been trying to find more on the Bean side of the family since Flora Bean is my great great grandmother and Annis was her sister.I have only been able to find the two children so far but there must be others.I have found the same information on Alexander from Maggie's branch.I have been to the Pender Cemetery last year but that was before I knew about the Arnolds being there.I have a few obits. Alex's is very short and says he was born in Indiana was a Union Veteran and leasves a wife and 8 children.Hers says she married Alex at Barlett, Iowa (Small town in Fremont Count) on May 4th, 1868 and they had 12 children, four boys and eight girls. They came to Pender, Nebraska in 1893. She was the dauther of James and Catherine Bean.I have Alexander born on January 2, 1843 in Lawrence County, Illinois which is different than that stated in the obituary.That is about all I have on this branch.He probably has a death certificate in Nebraska since he died about the time they started doing them in Nebraska.If I can be of any more help, please let me know.Larry
