Daniel Augustine Bean was born in Brownfield, Maine on May 20, 1846. He was a soldier in the American Civil War and the first to die from the community of Brownfield. == Recritement == Bean's father was Major Sylvanus B. Bean who had already served in the Aroostook War in 1839.〔Sylvanus B. Bean was from Brownfield, Oxford Co., Maine. He was a graduate of Norwich University, class of 1834, and served as a militia sergeant during the so-called Aroostook War of 1839 on the border with Canada. With the outbreak of the Civil War, he joined the 11th Maine Volunteer Infantry as first lieutenant of company "A." On November 26, 1862 he was discharged from his infantry regiment to receive a commission as captain and assistant quartermaster of volunteers. A typical quartermaster on a regimental staff was a first lieutenant and a member of the regiment. Above them were assistant quartermasters serving with larger units and depots with the rank of captain. Bean served as assistant quartermaster with the Army of the Potomac Artillery Reserve and later First Brigade, Second Division, 5th Army Corps. The quartermaster corps was reorganized under an act of congress passed on July 4, 1864 and was allowed a total eleven officers with the rank of major. On May 25, 1865 Bean was promoted from captain, which was the highest grade allowed volunteer officers, into one of those limited major positions within the Regular Quartermaster Department. He also received a brevet as major on March 13, 1865 for faithful and meritorious service. Bean served until mustered out on May 19, 1866. (Sylvanus Bean )〕 In October, 1861, at his home in Brownfield, Sylvanus enlisted twenty-one men from that and adjoining towns for the Eleventh Maine.〔http://www.ebooksread.com/authors-eng/11th-1861-1866-united-states-army-maine-infantry-regiment/the-story-of-one-regiment-the-eleventh-maine-infantry-volunteers-in-the-war-of--tin/page-33-the-story-of-one-regiment-the-eleventh-maine-infantry-volunteers-in-the-war-of--tin.shtml〕 At age 15, on November 2, his son Daniel enlisted in Company A, 11th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment along with his friend from Brownfield Elias P.
