RETIRED LUMBERMAN JOHN A. M'BEAN DIES

Established One of the First Firms in Toronto

---

One of Toronto's oldest lumbermen, John Alexander McBean died yesterday at his home, St. Clarens Ave. He was in his 78th year and had lived in Toronto all his life.

A son of the late James and Elizabeth McBean, he was educated at Wellesley school. He entered the lumber business in 1835, later establishing the firm of McBean and Verrall. He retired in 1932 because of ill-health. Mr. McBean was a member of the Commercial Travellers' association and the Canadian Order of Foresters.

Surviving are his widow, Annie C. Verrall McBean; one son, Walter; two sisters, Mrs. William McLaren of Lumsden, Sask., and Miss Annie Louise McBean of Toronto; one brother, Rev. William J. McBean of Denver, Col., and six grandchildren. Funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon at the A. W. Miles funeral chapel, St. Clair Ave., with interment in Mount Pleasant cemetery.
