Saturday, Jan. 18th, from a disease of
the heart from which he had suffered six
years, though he continued the practice
ot medicine until the middle of Novem-
Der, patients calling at his residence for
treatment. He was born in Holland
Mass, before the division of the town !;
attended common schools, the academies
at Dudley and Monson, Mass. taught In
public schools, and assisted in the work
on his fathers farm until the time his
medical education commenced, studying
with his father, then with DIR. Saunders
of Sturb1idge, Mass, "who kept me max
ing pills for weeks, expecting to discour-
age me from becoming a DOCTOR" was
DR.. Deans remark when asked of his
preparation to attend medical school.
The lectures at Philadelphia he frequent
ly referred to, and he was graduate of
medical college in that city. By invita-
ton of Rev. Mr.. Blake he came to this
village in 1862, and his professional life
here for the first few years as related by
the doctor had humorous and pathetic
side, hissdevotion to those under his care
was unequalled, professional duties stand
ing first. In politics he was republican,
representing this town in the legislature
In '72 and '73, was run for senator in '8S,
and the unwiIlingness of the people to
spare him from his professional duties the
occasion of his defeat. He was a men,
Der Of the Congregational church, and
held the office of deacon many years.
His interest in the library association
was continuous; for several years he was
It's president. In educational matters he
was ever alive as member of the school
board, or when his duties demanded his
retirement he ever advocated the best.
His marriage to Miss Charlotte Curtis
was happy union, and together they
ministered to each other and to our peo-
pie. Here the elder DIR. Dean after the
death of his wife spent his declining
years, and widowed sister came two
years since to her brothers home. One
son, Curtis Dean, a lawyer, resident in
Willimantic, survives. The funeral was
held Wednesday from the church, Rev.
B. F. Perkins, his late pastor, conducting
the service.
