Jno. L. Bean, who died at the Nashville Central Hospital in Nashville, Davidson, TN, on August 31, 1917, of pneumonia and chronic nephritis. Insanity said to be a contributing factor - he was said to be age 72, born in 1845 in Tennessee - no definite date. He was a farmer. The information came from hospital records. Said to have been in this place of residence - presumably Nashville - for two years; his former residence was Cookeville. He was buried Cookeville, TN - on the same day as his death - the doctor said he last saw him alive on August 30th.
