Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 3.

Necrology.

James Bean, a charter member of the Medford Historical Society, died at his home in Medford June 19. Mr. Bean was born in England, but came to this country at an early age and settled in Medford. He identified himself with the various interests of his adopted home and held many important positions in the administration of municipal affairs. He was of a genial disposition and kindly nature, and his familiar figure and cheerful face will be greatly missed by our citizens.

Charles H. Swan, a charter member of the Medford Historical Society, died at his home in Roxbury April 17. Mr. Swan was well known in engineering circles, and was engaged in the construction of many important water and sewerage works. He was interested in the work of the Historical Society, his family name being connected with the earlier history of Medford, and the picture of the Swan House belonging to the Society was presented to it by him.
