   FRANK BEAN postmaster and merchant, P.O. Nockamixon, was 
born in 1840.  His father, Jacob, married Elizabeth Trouger, 
daughter of Jacob Trouger, of this county.  They had nine 
children, Frank being the fifth son.  Jacob was a tailor by 
trade, an occupation he followed for some twenty years, 
after that farming the remainder of his life.  Frank 
remained at home till he became a young man, and with a good 
common-school education left home and learned the 
bricklaying trade, which he followed till 1872, when he 
located at this place.  In 1871 he was married to Rosa, 
daughter of Joseph Kiefer, of Northampton county.  No 
children as yet have blessed this happy union.  Mr. Bean has 
his establishment well stocked with all kinds of goods found 
in a country store.  He is a great reader and has quite an 
extensive library.
