July 19, 1918: 100 years ago in Freeport... (LI Herald, 7/19/2018). "The Post reported that former Freeport president James Dean passed away at his home on 228 South Bayview Ave. He had been battling arterial illness for about a year prior to his death. In addition to being the president of the village, Dean also was a member of the U.S. Grant Post of the Grand Army of the Republic. He also served as the treasurer of the South Shore Yacht Club and was president of the Freeport Club. Prior to moving to his home of South Bayview Ave., he owned a large home on South Ocean Avenue (presently marked by an historical marker donated by the Pomeroy Foundation). Dean was called by the honorarium “Colonel”, and owned a collection of over 1,500 firearms and other implements of warfare." (Submitted on November 26, 2018.)
