^(Co^^ FO R E wo R D

I am undertaking, reluctantly because of inexperience, the task of bringing down to date the Isaac Dean line of the Dean Genealogy published by Arthur Dean in 1903. The necessary information has been obtained from brothers, sisters and cousins, and in no small measure from records compiled by Percy Shires in 1937.

Brief personal histories will be grouped together following the record of births and deaths, so as not to interrupt the continuity of vital statistics.

The question of numbering presents some difficulty. The last number used in the genealogy for a descendant of Isaac Dean is 244 (Percy Shires). Numbers 245 to 318 inclusive are u^ed for lines other than that of Isaac Dean, leaving no possibility of continuing the descendants with numbers consecutive with the last one used for the Isaac Dean line. This system is not flexible in that it permits no logical interpolation or extension.

I propose to u^-e an entirely different system which is completely flexible. The necessity of such a system was indicated by the birth of four new descend- ants after I had completed the first draft of this supplement, making it neces- sary to devise a new system to accommodate them.

Starting with the children of Isaac Dean involves some repetition but I consider it desirable for the sake of uniformity. Isaac Dean retains the number u^ed in the genealogy, with generation number appearing before the decimal point, individual number after it. From this point on the new system is in effect.

In every instance the individual number is a direct indication of descent. For example, George Dean Buck, 21211, is the son of Lois Adelle Dean Buck, 2121, the daughter of Edgar Dean, 212, the son of Harry Dean, 21, the son of Albert Willander Dean, 2. It will be noted that the numbers increase by one digit with each generation. If carried beyond the present supplement the num- ber of digits will soon become excessive. If some future descentlant, say fifty years hence, undertakes to contnue the Isaac Dean line I must leave it to him to continue the numbering system or to devise a new one.

It will be noted that generation numbers are not used. If the reader wishes to determine the generation of any individual he need only add one to the number of digits in the individual number to obtain the generation from Isaac Dean, or add seven to the number of digits to obtain the generation from Walter Deane, the start of the genealogy.

In 1902 he bought the property on Weatherby and Bank Streets in Dalton, Pa., which is still in the family. With careful planning he planted trees, shrubs and flower and vegetable gardens and converted the property into a very attractive and comfortab'e heme.

He belonged to the State Militia and enjoyed the training in the summer camps. He was a sk'lled hunter, observing all the rules of true sportsmanship, and teaching his two sons to do likewise. His valuable collection of guns of all periotls now reposes in a fine cabinet of Edgar's design in Edgar's home in Montclair, New Jersey.

Harry enjoyed woi-king with wood and his ability in this line restored to use and beauty many mahogany heirlooms. From his mother he inherited a love for good music and he devoted much time to his violin, which he played with feeling and skill.

He was a geaial host and had always a warm greeting for every guest. He was never too tired or too busy to be of service in case of need. His love f . r little children drew them instinctively to him.

After the lonely years following- the death of his beloved Adelle he married her Smith College room mate, Grace Estey Anderson, of Cambridge, New York.

For a C'lri'tmas gift in 1932 his sen Prentice invited Harry and Gi-ace to share a Caribbean cruise which visited Bermuda, Nassau and Havana. In Harry's diary that trip is recorded as one of the happiest of his life.

He was active in Masonic affairs and was a member of the Dalton Bap- tist Church.

221 Walter Brunda^e Dean

Walter was born in Norfolk, Virginia, 29 June 190G. His family moved to Washington about 1910 so he received his early education at grammar school and Central High School there. He then went to Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he graduated in 1928 with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering.

Walter has had a varied and extensive experience in his profession. A few months after graduation at M. I. T. he started in the Aero Engineering Laboratory at the Naval Aircraft Factory in Philadelphia. After a short time there he went to the Comet Engineering Company in Madison, Wisconsin, as assistant to the Vice-Piesident in charge of Engineering. From 1930 to 19.31 he was with the American Engineering Company in Philadelphia, tleveloping hydraulic speed 2"ears.

From 1931 to the present time he has been with The Budd Company in Philadelphia, until 1936 as isting in the development of stainless steel Zephyr trains. In 1936 and part of 1937 he was in charge of the design and construc- tion of special air-conditioned busses for Nairn Transpoi-tation Company of Damascus. In connection with this work he traveled frecjuently between Damascus, Syria, and Bagdad during the installation of the busses in service.

From the summer of 1938 until the spring of 1941 he was in the Budd International Office in Paris, with several intervening periods in Philadelphia. During this period he traveled extensively in Europe, visiting the Company's railway and automotive licensees.

Walter supervised the design of stainless steel railway cars sold to the Portuguese Railways and then supervised their assembly in Portugal.

From 1942 to the spring of 1949 he was Chief Engineer of the company's Railway Division, (hiring which time the first dome cars and self-propelfed RDC's and numerous other stainless steel railway cars, were produced.

In the summer of 1949 he returned to the Paris office to advise railway and automotive licensees. During this time the railvay licenses were extended in Belgium, Portugal anil Italy, and the Company Wagons-Lits standardized stainless steel construction for their sleeping cars.

From the spring of 19.51 to the present time Walter has been Chief of Product Research, The Budd Company in Philadelphia, in charge of the de- velopment of new products or radical changes in the Company's present products, in both the railway and the automotive fields.

Walter's hobbies have, at various times, included fiying, skiing, mountain climbing, hunting, fishing, sports cars, and gunsmithing.

Walter and Brig^tte and their four chiklren live at 26 Narbrcok Pai'k, Narberth, Pa., a suburb of Philadelphia.

222 Albert Gardner Dean

Gardner was born in Norfolk, Va., 26 May 1909. His parents moved to Washington, D. C, about a year later so his early education was received in the public schools there. His college preparatory vrork was at Central High School. Fi-om high school he went to Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he graduated in 1931 with a Bachelor of Science degre? in Aeronautical Engineer'ng. He was a member of Delta Upsilon Fraternity.

After graduation he went to work for The Budd Company in Philadelphia where he is still employed. His work has been in an engineering capacity, specializing in stainless steel construction of railway passenger cars, highway tra'lers and various specialty items. He is at present Chief DesigTi Engineer, responsible for all phases of design for railway cars and highway trailers. Dming the second World War he worked in various engineering capacities on military cargo aiicraft development.

Gardner's work has aff"Grded him the opportunity for active partic'pation in the ilevelopment of stainless steel as structural material and in the change- over from heavy weight to light weight streamlined railway passenger cars. This participation has included design work, research, and laboratory testing, together with association with many American and European railroad mechan- ical departments and various regulatory commissions and associations.

Gardner's intreests include hiking, mountain climbing, skiing, camping, photography, shooting, gunsmithing, and various home construction projects.

He is actively associated with Boy Scouts of America in various capacities, including- Troop Committee, Scout Master, Explorer Advisor, Merit Badge Counselor, and various District and Council Committees, principally associated with camping activities.

Ganhier and Effie and their four children live at 219 N. Wynnewood Avenue, Narberth, Pa., a suburb of Philadelphia.

23 Maurice Bessell Dean

Maurice graduated from the Dalton Hig-h School in 1897, from Phillips Exeter Academy in 1900, and from Columbia Law School in 1903.

He began the practice of law in Novembei- of 1903 and in 1913 became g-eneral counsel for Jones Brothers Tea Company in Brooklyn. In 1925 he became Secretary of the American Export Associat'on. He resigned from this position in 1927 and became associated with Marvin and Berg, international lawyers. In 1933 he became attorney for the O'Sullivan Rubber Heel Company.

His widow, Adelma Merfz Dean, lives at 915 West End Avenue, New York 25, N. Y.

31 Carroll Sisson Dean

Carroll attended public school in Scranton and Waverly, went one year to Wyoming Seminary in Kingston, Pa., then had three years at Phillips Exeter Academy, g-raduating- in 1903. He then went to Massachusetts Institute of Technology and graduated in 1907 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering.

In the fall of 1907 he accepted an appointment as an electrical draftsman in the Equipment Department in the Norfolk Navy Yard where his cousin, W. C. Dean, was Chief Draftsman. In 1917 he was appointed Electrical Expert Aide in the Public Works Department.

Late in 1919 he resigned his position in the Navy Yard and accepted the position of Electrical and Mechanical Engineer with Neff and Thompson, a firm of architects and engineers in Norfolk.

In October of 1924 he resigned this position and returned to Scranton. His father had been urging this step for some time, feeling that he needed Carroll there to assist him in his vai'ied business interests. Russell, then living in Scranton, had his own business to attend to and could not spare the time to attend to his father's affairs.

During the next two years Carroll d'd what he could to assist his father and to leai-n as much as possible about his business affairs, keeping the office running during his father's absence in Florida duiing the winters. About two years after Carroll's return to Waverly his father died, leaving him as co-executor of the estate.

The estate was complicated, with widespread interests. There were debts to be paid, properties to be sold, notes to be renewed, interest and taxes to be paid, rents to be collected, and reports to be rendered to the Trust Company and others. Also there were several old friends and clients of A. D. Dean whose interests could not be neglectetl. Carroll could not assist with legal advice but there was much that he could do, and did, to help them. In addition he was appointed trustee for the P. S. Dean heirs, with coal royalties, taxes, distribution, accounts and reports to attend to.

During this time he was a member of the Board of Directors of the Waverly Community House and Secretary of the Hickory Grove Cemetery Association. In the latter position he developed and put into use a system of loose leaf i-ecords coveiing plots and burials, with names and dates, which proved very useful to the Association.

By 1929 estate affairs had settled down to routine and Carroll started looking for a position in his profession. Nothing suitable could be found in Scranton so he took two Civil Sei"vice examinations covering various engineer- ing positions. Late in 1930 he received an appointment as Mechanical Engineer in the Construction Division of the Veterans Administration, in Washington. His son Arthur was in Phillips Exeter Academy and his daughter Isabel was

10

in Wellesley College so his wife Christine remained in Waverly until the children finished their school terms, then all moved to Washington.

He remained with the Veterans Administration only seven months when he received an appointment as Mechanical Engineer in the office of the Quarter- master General of the Army as a result of the second examination taken while still in Scranton. When all construction work for the Army was taken over by the Corps of Engineers Carroll was transferred with many others from the office of the Quartermaster General. Dui-ing- his final years before retire- ment he was a Materials Engineer, Chief of the Technical Control Section, and a member of the Metals Committee of the Federal Specifications Boartl.

In February of 1947 his wife Christine died, a grievous loss to him and to their children. She had a large circle of friends in Washington and in Waverly. Her ashes were deposited in the Dean family plot in Hickory Grove Cemetery in Waverly. Isabel was living at heme at this time as she was employed in the Interior Department so she and Carroll, with the help of a part time maid, kept house for the next two years and a half.

In August of 1949 Isabel was married and she and her husband Shaler bought a large place in Chevy Chase, just outside the District. Carroll has lived with them since they moved into their present home at 3714 Underwood Street, Chevy Chase, Maryland.

At the end of March, 19.50, Carroll retired from the office of the Chief of Engineers, having hati a little over thirty-one years of Government service.

311 Isabel Dean Aldou.s

Isabel attended public school in Norfolk, Va. and in Waverly, Pa., whei-e the family moved in the fall of 1924. The last two years of high school she attentled the Roberts Beafh School in Catonsville, Maryland. Two years of college were completed at Wellesley College, and the last two years at George Washington University in Washington, D. C. In 1933 she graduated Cum Laude with a degree of Bachelor of Arts in Library Science.

After several years cf doing clerical work in various Government offices she was at last able to begin working in the field of her choice. Her first librai-y position was in the library of the Superintendent of Documents. She next became cataloger in the library of the Fish and Wildlife Service in the Department of the Interior, then Librarian of that liin-ary. When the library was consolidated with others to form the Central Library of the Department she became Chief of the Processing Section of the library, the position which she now holds.

Isabel and Shaler live at 3714 Underwood Street, Chevy Chase, Maryland. Isabel's father, Carroll Dean, lives with them. Shaler's older son Gene lives at home. His younger son, Kenneth, joined the U. S. Air Force immediately after graduation from high school and is now stationed at Berlin, Gennany. Shaler's two daughters are both married. Elaine has one child and lives in California, Marcella has three children and lives in the Washington area.

Looking forward to the time when tiiey expect to retire from Government service Shaler and Isabel recently purchased a small farm about fifteen miles from Leesburg, Virginia. They spend many week ends out there and Carroll frequently accompanies them.

312 Arthur Parker Dean

Arthur attended public schools in Norfolk, Va. until 1924 when the family moved to Waverly, Pa. He attended school there until 1929 then went to Phillips Exeter Academy for two years. In 1931 the family moved to Wash- ington and he finii^hed his last two years of preparatory work at Central High School there, graduating in 1933. He then went four years to George Washing- ton University, graduating in 1937 with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering.

During his school years he spent several summer vacations at his mother's old home, the Parker farm, in Clarks Green, Pa. One summer he worked for the National Park Sen'ice in Washington, drawing charts and maps. The summer of 1935 he spent in Europe, driving one of four cars for his uncle,

11

Robert Everhart, on the annual Motorway to Europe. This tour covered about ten thousand miles, visiting' ten countries in Europe.

Arthur's first employment after g'raduating from the University was at the National Bureau of Standards in Washing-ton where he was eng-aged in testing- the mechanical strength of various materials and operating calculating machines. This was a temporary position and after three months there he accepted a position with the Budd Company in Philadelphia whei-e his cousins Walter and Gardner Dean were employed. There he was a draftsman working on (h'awings for railcars and airplane wing structures.

After ten months in Philadelphia he was laid off in a reduction in force and returned to Washington. Within two months after his return he accepted a position with the Glenn L. Martin Company in Baltimore where he is still employed. He is now a Group Engineer, Ground Electronics Equipment, having to do with mobile ground control equipment for guided missiles.

Arthur and Mary and their son, Arthur, Jr., live in the new home they recently completed. Their address is Glenarm Road, Glenarm, Maryland.

32 Russell Heermans Dean

Russell attended public schools in Scranton and Waverly. He graduated at Keystone Academy in Factoryville, Pa., in 1903. He then went to Phillins Exeter Academy and finished with the class of 1905. For several years he operated the Dean Electric Company in Scranton, doing electrical contracting and selling electrical appliances. The work included considerable lighting for public buildings in connection with which he developed a design for an enclosing globe which was used in some of the schools.

He was engaged in real estate business for a time and was a partner in the Scranton Marmon Company. During the second World War he was Sales Manager for the Bloom Motor Company in Scranton. For the past sixteen years or more he has manag'ed the Dean interests in the Winton-Dean coal properties, now consolidated in Deanairs, Inc., of which he is President. This is all that remains of the once profitable Dean Heirs coal properties.

In 1927, six years after her marriage. Bob and Miriam made an extensive

13

but economical tour of Europe, seeing and doing much of interest and enjoying every minute of it. That tour gave them the idea for their pre:^ent business, planning, organizing and conducting tours abroad, and thus The Motorway to Europe was born.

To (late they have made thirty-six Atlantic crossings. The countries visited include England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Germany, France, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, pre-war Hungary and Czecho-Slovakia, Liechtenstein, Italy, Spain, N'^rway, Sweden and Denmark. They travel by motor. Bob taking a small group by private cars, Miriam taking a party of about twenty persons by motor coach, which enables the travelers to see the real life of the (KfTerent countries visited. Speaking some French and German, as they both do, facil- itates matters.

During these years of travel they watched the effects of the rismg influ- ence of Hitler in Germany and Mussolini in Italy. They were in Berlin in September of 1938 when Chamberlain flew to Munich with "appeasement" and war was imminent overnight, then the threat receded. In August, 1939, Miriam was in England after a British Isles tour and Bob was touring Italy with a party in two cars. Their experiences before reaching home were many and varied at the outset of World War II. After the war years they again started taking tour groups in 1950, and again have watched the changing aspect of Europe, from war toi'n devastated countries to busy prosperous ones.

Among their travel clients through the years they have made many friends, and they have had experiences, sometimes thrilling, sometimes amusing, al- ways interesting. It was a thrill to be on the maiden voyage of the liner United States when this country won the Blue Ribbon for the fastest Atlantic crossing, after many years of bowing to foreign flag vessels.
