. Genealogy of the Dean family descended from Ezra Dean, of Plainfield, Conn. and Cranston, R. I., preceded by a reprint of the article on James and Walter Dean, of Taunton, Mass., and early generations of their descendants, found in volume 3, New England historical and genealogical register, 1849. born ahundred years later, he would doubtless haveclaimed for himself the best education thepresent day affords. Personally, grandfatherDean was most attractive. He was small andslender, with a fine head, remarkable blue-grayeyes, and a clear white and ruddy complexion,even in old age. He was naturally reticent, andhad a hesitation in his speech which preventedhim from being fluent even when he was deeplyinterested in a topic ; but the little that he didsay was always pointed and impressive. Hiswife, Sibyl Hall, possessed the practical, every-day qualities needful to supplement his un-worldly traits. She was a good housewife, atender mother, and an indulgent grandmother,of the dear old-fashioned type. She, too, wasdevoutly religious, and the home life in theii-little gray farm house is lovely in the reinem-brance of the writer of this sketch, who in un-conscious childhood absorbed in that pure andreverent atmosphere something precious andvital beyond the power of words to express. 124. iHfti^.
