Mr Bean passed long ago... mid 1800s I believe. He is burried in Bonham, Texas. His grave marker gives no birth date. Rumor has he awoke one day in the middle of a bean field so, he called himself Tom Bean. No one ever knew his age or where he came from.
He was a land surveyer and ended up "land poor".

I have a ranch three miles south of the small town of Tom Bean. Actually live 30 miles further south in Farmersville home of Audie Murphey they say.

Oh yea, I'm firm at $2950 for this 'unit'.

BTW, Charles "Tex" Watson was from Farmersville as well. Which is easy to believe after living here for four yrs. Strange folks.
