Alvin was the son of Jacob C. Bean and Jane Ford. He served in the Civil War as 2nd Lieutenant in Company C, N.H. 15th Infantry. He survived the war, while his two younger brothers died in it, namely, Frank and Nathaniel.
From the Wednesday, October 19, 1892, edition of the St. Albans Vt., Daily Messenger comes the following:
"Alvin Chester Bean was born in Kirby, Vermont on October 25, 1836. He died at Royalton, Vermont October 17, 1892, of pneumonia. May 2, 1859, he married for his first wife, Emily A. Clough, of Enfield, N.H. and five children, 3 girls and 2 boys were born to them. His wife died in 1887.
"Mr. Bean's career as a railroad man began when he was 14 years old, his first experience being on the Northern New Hampshire Railroad, where he assisted his father at sawing wood for the company. From that he went to work on the railroad bridges, then he acted as a brakeman and then as a conductor on the same railroad. Leaving the Northern Railroad in 1868, he entered the employ of the old Vermont Central, where he ran as a freight conductor between St. Albans and Boston. He was afterward appointed Road Master of the Canada Division and gradually promoted from that to the charge of the main line and its branches, until he became General Road Master of its most important division in 1891.
"October 10, 1888, he married for his second wife, Miss Georgianna Severance, daughter of Rev. George Severance of South Royalton. October 28, 1891, they moved from White River Junction to Royalton onto the old Safford place. ... Mr. Bean still retained his position on the railroad until the day of his death.
"The death of Mr. Bean removes one who had long been identified with the growth and development of the Central Vermont Railroad, to whose services he had devoted the greater part of a useful life. He was ever a faithful and efficient officer and his experience and ability will be missed in the department he conducted so long and so well."
