Jeremiah served for the Union from Massachusetts during the Civil War, and began service on 24 September 1861 with Company B, 22nd Massachusetts Volunteers. He is likely the Jeremiah Bean, aged 63, living in Searsmont, Waldo Co., ME in 1870 with the family of Joseph Dollief, aged 69. In early 1880 he was admitted to the home for disabled volunteer soldiers in Togus, Maine, but according to the 1880 mortality schedule he died of starvation very soon thereafter. The mortality schedule said he was married at time of death, so he must have remarried following his first wife's death. His children, from the 1850 census:
*James R., b. 1833
*Almira, b. 1835
*William, b. 1838
*Elizabeth, b. 1841
*Mary A., b. 1843
