I was looking at it all last night and this morning. I did notice the burials at Providence Cemetery. There is a listing for Caroline Bean with 1865-1900. This would be consistant with the dates in the listing for Amanda spouse in the 1900 census. Also the mention of a Rachel 1885- 1887. Earnest mothers name was Rachel. We are related to the Ohio Beans. I have found that Earnest took his mother maiden name of Bean. His father was Allen Beans and was killed in the civil war his wife was Rachel Bean. I have a picture of the three brothers probably from around around 1880's . The brothers were Allen Myron of Ohio, Lindell O. of Camanche, Clinton, Iowa and Earnest L. of Linn County Oregon. I have also been looking for Thomas, Mildred, and Gussie in the SSN records. Thanks again for ALL your efforts.
