About Sarah Albertson Bean
Knew her husband-to-be from her youth:
Had a huge wedding in Norristown that included such guests as Capt. John Pershing who was her brother-in-law's commanding officer in the Southwest United States.. Another guest was the young future Supreme Court Justice Owen J. Roberts http://www.mmwr.com/home/the-firm/our-history/owen-j.-roberts---a-s... who attended the University of Pennsylvania Law School with Theodeore L. Bean (the groom).
Also on the guest list was an in-law of the groom's, the inventor and remarkable balloonist Thaddeus Lowe = Thaddeus Lowe (Chief Aeronaut of the Union Army Balloon Corps) who then hailed from Norristown.
A wedding invitation guest invitation list was handed down to this writer through the Bean family. It is written in Sarah's hand when she lived at 907 Swede St. Norristown. Her family had an in-town residence in the decline of her father's health. P. Frank Hunter was the Asst. Treasurer of the then powerful PRR.
After marriage: First lived at "a recently erected" 1400 Powell St. Norristown, PA
Her sudden death left her two daughters without a mother at ages two and four years old. These two orphans went to spend much of their early years with their Aunt Mary Jones (Bean) in Conshohocken, PA but were eventually reunited with their father, particularly after the time of his subsequent marriage.
Their widowed grandmother, Sarah's mother-in-law, was also part of the Jones' household, having lived with her daughter Mary Louise Jones ever since the untimely death of her husband Capt. Theo. Weber Bean. It was these two Bean women Hannah Bean and her daughter Mary Jones, who provided the "glue" that held the family together in the immediate aftermath of Sarah's early death.
genealogical quirk
Sarah is a Croasdale (17th cent. Quakers of Bolland MM, Yorkshire). Her dau. Elizabeth married a Wildman whose family had, generations before, emigrated from a homestead just over the hiil from Bolland. It is called Croasdale Grains. (!)
