Child of HARRIETT BRIDGES and JOHN BEAN
is:
i. ARMINA
(MINI)6 BEAN, b. 27 February 1874, Atchison, Atchison County,
Kansas; d. 28 December 1957, Warsaw, Benton County, Missouri; m. EDWARD
BOLAND, Abt. 1895, Kansas; b. October 1872,
Missouri. Notes for EDWARD BOLAND: E. J. Boland's Garage, Leon, Kansas HISTORY OF BUTLER
COUNTY 592 E. J. Boland, the present mayor of Leon, is one of Butler county's
progressive business men and belongs to that type of successful men who do
things. Mr. Boland was born in Henry county, Missouri, in 1872, and is a
son of J. A. and Emily (Beggerly) Boland. J. A. Boland was a native of
Indiana, his father was a Scotchman, and his mother was an English woman.
E. J. Boland's mother was a native of North Carolina. The Boland family
came to Butler county, Kansas, in 1886, the father trading his farm in
Missouri for 240 acres of land in Butler county, located about seven miles
from Leon. He was successfully engaged in farming and stock raising here
until his death, January 6, 1911, and his wife died two days later and
both were buried in the same grave. They were the parents of five
children, two of whom are living, E. J., the subject of this sketch, and
B. F., who resides at Carthage, Mo. Mr. Boland was reared on a farm, and was successfully engaged in
farming and stock raising until 1913, when he left the farm and removed to
Leon where he has since been engaged in the automobile business. While
still on the farm, in 1911, he took the agency for the Ford automobile in
Leon and vicinity, and his business in that connection developed so
rapidly that in 1913, he gave up the farm and has since devoted himself to
the automobile business. Upon coming to Leon, he opened a garage and in
addition to his sales department, initiated a repair department. His
business rapidly developed, and he rented an adjacent room to accommodate
it, and it was not long until he found that his enlarged quarters were too
small to accommodate his increasing business. In 1916 he built a garage,
fifty by one hundred feet. The building is practically fire proof, being
constructed of pressed brick with concrete floor, well lighted and is the
best equipped garage in Butler county and one of the best in the State. It
was completed and occupied about January 1, 1916. Mr. Boland has installed
an electric dynamo in connection with his garage and his plan is to
furnish electric light for the town, and there is no doubt but what this
plan will soon be materialized, as Mr. Boland has a reputation for
finishing almost everything that he has started up to the present writing.
Mr. Boland was united in marriage in 1894 to Miss Mina Bean,
daughter of John and Hattie (Bridges) Bean, of Atchison, Kans., and to
this union have been born four children, as follows: Earl, Lavon, Bertine
and Kenneth, all attending the public schools of Leon, Earl being in the
second year of high school. As mayor of Leon, Mr. Boland is wide-awake to every idea that tends
to the upbuilding and the betterment of the town. Being a man of pleasant
manner and good personal address, he has many friends, and there is no
doubt that the very best possible administration of the city's affairs
will continue under his leadership. ------------------------- 6. WILLIAM A.5 BRIDGES
