DEAN, Orsemus
Husband of Rhoda nee HAYDEN
Son of William and Parthena (Martha) Bailey Dean
B. 11 Aug 1801 in Cornwall, Litchfield Co. CT
D. 17 Nov 1885 in Center, Rock Co. WI
Burial – Nov 1885 in Bethel Cemetery, Janesville, Rock Co. WI
Mahoning Dispatch, Fri, 12 Dec 1884
"Died – In Center, Wis., Nov. 17, Mr. Orsemus Dean, aged 83 years."
"The subject of this sketch was born in Litchfield county, Conn. In 1810 his father, William Dean, came with the great tide of immigrants to "New Connecticut," and settled in Canfield. Here the lad grew to manhood. In 1825 he married Rhoda Hayden, of Youngstown, whose brothers, William and Sutton Hayden were widely known as preachers of power in the ranks of Disciples of Christ. In 1865 he removed to Rock Co., Wis., the Garden of the West, where he has just completed his long pilgrimage. These brothers survive him: Orman Dean, of Lordstown, aged 72; Bailey Dean, of Ellsworth, aged 76; and Hiram Dean, of Canfield, aged 85. It was the privilege of the writer of these lines to spend a day with these three brothers in Canfield on the 13th of November, and while the absent brother was so tenderly remembered, no one thought of him as being to near his journey's end. His last illness was of only a few days duration. The late Mrs. Orpha Sackett of Warren, and Mrs. Benajah Austin, were sisters. The deceased was a life-long Christian, identifying himself with the Disciples soon after his marriage, in the very infancy of that religious movement which has since become so strong on the Western Reserve and through out the entire West. He was one of the staunch supporters of the anti-slavery movement in the days when abolition leaders were egged, and respectable citizens furnished the eggs. He was also an earnest friend to liberal education, contributing of his means to found the Western Reserve Electic Institute (now Hiram College) and sending six children to the school from 1850 to 1868. Three sons and four daughters, residing in Ohio, Wisconsin and Nebraska, live to cherish and revere his memory. His faithful Christian wife of precious memory, preceded him by seven years. A man of sterling integrity, blameless life, unostentatious piety and kind heart, his friendships were wide as his acquaintance.

Excerpt from the William Dean family
"ORSEMUS DEAN, the second son of William, born in Connecticut in 1801; married Rhoda, a member of the celebrated and talented family of that name, and 40 years thereafter resided in Canfield on a farm recently owned by Levi Stitle. More than 30 years ago the family removed to Wisconsin. We were intimately acquainted with both husband and wife and it would be an easy and pleasant task to speak more fully of them. We can only say they were about as good as earth can produce. Thirteen children were born to these parents. Nine lived to have families of their own. One of them is the Rev. Baily S. Dean, a professor in Hiram College."
