^(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 Factoryville, and later to Hackettstown Seminary in New Jersey.

He was a construct'on engineer, representing- the Bai'ber-Greene Company,
manufacturers of heavy earth moving- and mining- equipment, and Schramm,
Inc., manufacturers of portable air compressors.

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-

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.

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.

Commerce, the Columbia University Club, and Sig'ma Chi Fraternity.

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

he was forced to resign in 1951 when illness compelled him to spend some time
in the hospital. Until the summer of 1956 he was a director and Financial
Secretary but resigned from the Society because of his numerous other
interests.

Circumstances have brought Russell the task of looking- after the affairs
of his cousin, Elsie Shires, who lives on a small farm in La Plume, Pa., just

Department with graduate study. She received her Master of Arts degree fi-om
Wellesley in 1919. She attended a summer course at the Harvard-Technology
School of Public Health, then taught the following year at Wellesley.

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.

Miriam and Bob live at 1357 West Ocean View Avenue Norfolk, Virg'nia.
They occasionally spend some time in St. Petersburg, Florida, where they
bought the home that Miriam's father built when he spent the winters there.

life work, the poultry business, at the old Humphrey homestead in Proctor,
Vermont.

Tenney has added buildings and equipment as the business expanded and
passed through difl'erent phases. At various times, as market demands
changed, they have concentrated on eggs, dressed poultry, or baby chicks.
During two years of World War II the farm produced more food (broilers) in
dollar value than any other farm in the state. At the present time the busi-
ness is confined mainly to one phase, hatching and marketing baby chicks,
the annual rate of output being about 600,000 chicks. The customer territory
includes New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and New York states.
Tenney drives many miles each week delivering baby chicks and Nettie fre-
