CHARLES D. BEANS merchant, P.O. Fallsington, was born in 
Lower Makefield township, Bucks county, April 11, 1827, 
being a son of Charles and Sarah (Buckman) Beans, natives of 
Bucks county, and of English and Welsh descent.  His father 
was a tailor in early life and carried on business in this 
county for many years.  He died in Fallsington in 1875. 
Charles D. is the youngest in a family of six children.  He 
was reared on the farm, attended school in Bucks county, and 
chose farming as his business, following it with success 
until 1872, when he went to Philadelphia and engaged in the 
produce commission business for three years.  In 1875 he 
came to Fallsington and engaged as a salesman in a store 
until 1882, when he bought the stock and continued the 
business.  He keeps a general line of merchandise and has a 
good trade.  He is a liberal, high-minded gentleman, 
deserving of success.  He was married in 1851 to Mary T., 
daughter of Josiah and Rachel (Cadwalader) Comfort.  They 
were members of the Society of Friends, and of English 
origin.  They have two children:  William, who is married, 
and follows farming; and Edward B., clerk in a store.  Mr. 
Beans is a republican.
