John Beames (1837-1902) spent most of his working life in Bihar, Orissa and Bengal. He came to India in August 1858: the mutiny had not yet been fully quelled. Before he retired in 1893, he had risen to be a Commissioner administering a few districts and for a short time held a seat on the Bengal Board of Revenue.
