Bean, George R., might be termed a native of Watertown, having removed with his parents from Otsego county when
he was but two years of age. He was educated in the public schools and at an early age entered the service of Dexter
& Herrick, who were engaged in the flour and feed business, in whose employ he remained for seventeen years.
In 1885 he embarked in business on his own account, forming the firm of George R. Bean & Co., which continued
for nine years, when it was succeeded by Messrs. Robins, Bean & Makepeace, and after one year that firm was
succeeded by the present firm, that of Bean & Makepeace.. This firm now owns and operates the only electric
mill in the county, grinding all kinds of grain with the exception of wheat. It requires a force of from five to
ten workmen to operate the mill. Mr. Bean was married in July, 1877, to Myra Nelson of Pulaski, N. Y. He is an
actcve member of Corona Lodge I. 0. 0. F., the A. 0. U. W. and the K. S. F. I.
