Stillborn child of Bennett Luther Dean and Anna (Clarkson) Dean.
Ben wrote the following in his diary:
"Thursday May 30, 1912 ...Anna was taken sick with pain at 12 oclock....it was coming a month too soon....The Dr....took Anna and I to the House of Providence in his Auto. The baby was born in 30 minutes after they got there but it was dead and had been dead for a day or two......
Saturday June 1 ....I decided to take the little body to Plymouth and bury it on Father's lot in the Old Cemetery in Lower Village. I went to the Health board and got a blank, took that to the Doctor, he filled out his statement, then I had to fill one, then take it back to the Health officer and get a burying permit and shipping permit to take it to Plymouth, then to the Hospital to get the body, then the Car to Plymouth.... went and stayed all night at Uncle Asa's....
Sunday June 2 ...woke up at 3 A.M....it was first getting dawn... went...to the cemetery and found Fathers [William D. Dean] grave lot that he owned for over 50 years. He has one still born and one boy that lived about a year and it was his head stone I found, his name was Victor DeForest Dean, died Dec. 11, 1858 and the lot has not been disturbed since. About 6 feet in the rear of the stone I dug a grave just about 3 feet deep and put the box down into it. I was not sure but I thought the head was to the west and Victors stone. Then I filled it in and made a nice mound with new clean earth, then got a couple of bunches of bridal wreath blossoms and placed them on the grave and then came away....."
