Representative Citizens of Seattle and King County (Washington)-1903 pg. 664-666 WILLIAM: BEATTIE. For more than a score of years this sterling citizen and honored business man of Seattle has been a res1dent of this city, and his fortunes have varied with her epochs of prosperity and depression, but his steadfastness of purpose, indomitable energy, stanch integrity and thorough knowledge of the line of enterprise to which he has devoted his attention have proved adequate to enable him to overcome obstacles, recoup losses and win precedence as one of the successful and representative business men of the city. He is the senior member of the wagon manufacturing and general blacksmithing firm of Beattie & Son, whose well equipped establishment is located at Nos. 1612-14-16 Fourth avenue. William Beattie is a native of the state of Michigan, having been born m the town of Dexter, Washtena county, on the 9th of February, 1832, the son of William and Dorothea (Robson) Beattie, the former of whom was born in the highlands of Scotland and the latter in England. William Beattie, Sr., emigrated to America when a young man, about the year 1825, locating in the state of New York. In Ontario county, that state, he married Dorothea Robson, who had come with her parents to America when a child. Soon after their marriage they started for the wilds of Michigan, making the journey by means of team and wagon. He located in Livingston county, where he secured a tract of eighty acres of heavily timbered land, subsequently adding to the same until he was the owner of two hundred acres, which, with the assistance of his sons, he cleared and placed under cultivation. There he passed the remainder of his life in agricultural pursuits, his death occurring about the year 1876. His first wife died in 1850, and he subsequently married Charlotte Emmett, who is likewise deceased. The father of our subject was a man of unassuming character, of inflexible integrity and was one of the world's earnest workers, commanding unqualified confidence and esteem. In his political proclivities he was a Democrat. and his religious faith was that of the Methodist Episcopal church. By the first marriage there were six children. of whom four lived to attain years of maturity, and of these three survive. Of the four we may record that Archibald, who was born in New York died in Michigan in 1899, having attained a venerable age; Anna is the wife of Andrew Sharp, of that state; and James also lives in Michigan. William Beattie was reared on the old homestead farm in Livingston county, Michigan, early beginning to contribute his quota to the work of reclaiming and cultivating the same, while his educational privileges were such as were afforded in the district school, two miles distant from his home, his attendance being limited to the short winter months, as was the case with the average farmer boy of the locality and period. He continued to assist in the work of the farm until he had attained the age of eighteen years, when he decided to adopt the vocation of a mechanic, with which object in view he entered a blacksmith shop at Howell, Livingston county, where he served a three years' apprenticeship and then remained for the succeeding four years in the employ of his instructor. Within this period, on the 13th of February, 1859, he was united in marriage to Miss Jeanette Melvin, who was born in Howell, a daugher of Rodney and Melvina (Sharp) Melvin, both of whom were natives of the state of New York. From Bowen Mr. Beattie removed to Marshall, Michigan, where he was engaged in the work of his trade for three years, then returning to the employ of his old master in Howell for an equal period, thereafter passing three years in Ionia, same state, after which he again removed to Howell, where he purchased the entire business of his former employer, who was then carrying on an excellent business in the manufacturing of carriages and wagons, this having been before the machine work of the later years had displaced the old and reliable hand productions in this line. Mr. Beattie continued to conduct the enterprise successfully, and that his operations were of no inconsiderable scope may be recognized when we revert to the fact that he had in his employ about twenty workmen. In the year 1870 Mr. Beattie met with a most grievous loss and bereavement, his wife being fatally burned by the explosion of a lamp, leaving him ,with four motherless children. He then left the three younger children with their maternal grandparents and, in company with his eldest son, Walter J., started for Sonoma county, California. Upon his arrival he engaged in the work of his trade at Cloverdale and there remained about three years, then taking passage for Portland, Oregon, on the ill-fated steamer Great Republic, which was stranded and burned on the lower Columbia river, our subject and his son, with the other passengers, being rescued from the wreck by a government boat, while several of the crew lost their lives. Mr. Beattie engaged in the work of his trade at Roseburg, Oregon, for a time, and then, in December, 1880, came to Washington, spending one season in the Ruby Stake country and then locating in Seattle, where he opened a blacksmith shop and where he has ever since maintained his home. His first shop was located in Madison street, near Railroad avenue, and there he built up a good business in blacksmithing and general repair work, but he lost all that he had accumulated in the great fire that swept the city in 1889, his loss aggregating about six thousand dollars. Not daunted by this great misfortune, he opened business in another shop, on the site of the present Times building, and his enterprise was conducted with such ability and discretion that its growth has been very gratifying. In 1901 Mr. Beattie erected his present building, which is two stories in height and sixty feet square, and here he is associated with his sons, Walter J. and Frank R., in the conducting of a general blacksmithing and repairing business and also the manufacture of the best grade of delivery wagons and heavy trucks, employment being given to a corps of ten capable workmen. In politics Mr. Beattie gives an unfaltering support to the principles of the Democratic party, in whose ranks he has been an active worker, having been a member of the county central committee and a delegate to various party conventions. He has never sought official preferment in the gift of his party since coming to Washington, but while living in Michigan he held a number of local offices. Fraternally he was identified with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows while a resident of Michigan, but has never maintained active affiliation in the west. Of the four children of our subject we enter brief record, as follows: Walter J. is the junior member of the firm of Beattie & Son; Frank is also connected with his father in business; Elbert is an electrician in Seattle; and Minnie is the wife of Grant Bicer, a stockman of Hunter's Hot Springs, Montana. 1840 United States Federal Census about Wm Beatie Name: Wm Beatie Township: Unadilla County: Livingston State: Michigan 2110001-0100001 1850 United States Federal Census about Wm Rater Name: Wm Rater Age: 50 Estimated birth year: abt 1800 Birth Place: Scotland Gender: Male Home in 1850 (City,County,State): Genoa, Livingston, Michigan Wm Batee 50 farm 2500 Scotland Doraca 50 England Archabald 20 NY Anna 17 NY Wm 14 MI Jas 8 MI 1860-Livingston Co MI____________________ Genoa Beattie, Wm 59 m SCOT Charlotte E 26 f ENG James D 18 m MI Sophia 4 f MI Arthur 2 m MI Mary F 1 f MI 1860 United States Federal Census about A Beattie Name: A Beattie Age in 1860: 30 Birth Year: abt 1830 Birthplace: New York Home in 1860: Genoa, Livingston, Michigan Gender: Male Post Office: Genoa Value of real estate: View image Household Members: Name Age Andrew Sharp 33 farm 2500-500 NY Anna Sharp 27 NY Doritha Sharp 5 MI George A Sharp 4 MI William Sharp 1 MI A Beattie 30 farm labor NY(probably Archibald) Albert Patrick 26 farm 150 NY 1860 United States Federal Census about William Beattie Name: William Beattie Age in 1860: 23 Birth Year: abt 1837 Birthplace: Michigan Home in 1860: Howell, Livingston, Michigan Gender: Male Post Office: Howell Value of real estate: View image Household Members: Name Age William R Melvin 36 carriage maker 4500-1000 Mass Lovina Melvin 38 NY Amanda J Melvin 14 MI Fred Melvin 11 MI William Beattie 23 blacksmith MI George Balcom 21 blacksmith MI John Lanore 20 blacksmith MI Cass Chandler 17 apprent blacksmith MI 1870 United States Federal Census about Jannette Beatie Name: Jannette Beatie Estimated birth year: abt 1843 Age in 1870: 27 Birthplace: Michigan Home in 1870: Howell, Livingston, Michigan Family and neighbors: View Results Race: White Gender: Female Value of real estate: View image Post Office: Howell Wm Beatie 38 blacksmith MI Jannette 27 MI Walter 8 MI Frank 5 MI Burt 2 MI Jas Switz 20 appret blacksmith MI Lewis DuChain 23 black smith PA Sophia Beatie 15 MI 1870 United States Federal Census about William Barter Name: William Barter Estimated birth year: abt 1800 Age in 1870: 70 Birthplace: Scotland Home in 1870: Genoa, Livingston, Michigan Family and neighbors: View Results Race: White Gender: Male Value of real estate: View image Post Office: Brighton William Baitie 70 farm 3500-1000 Scot Charlotte 39 Eng Sophia 15 MI Arthur 13 MI Mary 11 MI Albert 9 MI Mila?

The obituary of Layne R. Beaty appeared in today's Washington Post--does anyone recognize this lineage? http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/27/AR2007052701008.html Layne Beaty; Broadcast Farm Reports For TV, Radio By Yvonne Shinhoster Lamb Washington Post Staff Writer Monday, May 28, 2007; B08 Layne R. Beaty, a pioneer in farm reporting who oversaw the U.S. Agriculture Department's radio and television broadcasts for more than 25 years, died May 11 at Collington Episcopal Life Care Community in Mitchellville. He had cutaneous lymphoma, complicated by congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He was 93. Mr. Beaty, who broadcast his first radio farm program in Oklahoma in the late 1930s, was chief of radio and television for the USDA from 1955 to 1980. He also edited a USDA newsletter distributed to farm broadcasters across the country; broadcast a live weekly report for five years on "The National Farm and Home Hour" on NBC radio when its Washington studios were in the old Sheraton Park Hotel; and was a regular contributor to ABC's "American Farmer" and CBS's "Columbia's Country Journal." >From 1960 to 1980, he directed and emceed "Across the Fence," a weekly syndicated television program of agriculture and consumer information produced by the USDA that was taped at WRC in Washington. Mr. Beaty played a key role in expanding the use of the media to reach farmers and others in rural areas. In their book, "The Broadcast Century and Beyond" (2005), authors Robert L. Hilliard and Michael C. Keith highlighted Mr. Beaty's early work in radio: "It may be coincidence that the first use of 'broadcast' was agricultural, referring to the sowing of seeds," Mr. Beaty wrote in a first-person account in the book. "It is nonetheless fitting because in the early days of radio when rural people lived in varying degrees of isolation, radio became a link to the outside world and a live-in companion for farmers and their families." Radio stations announced market prices, updated weather forecasts and gave information on better farming practices and government regulations, Mr. Beaty said. "My listeners included not only country folk but urban professionals as well, and one network program (the old NBC 'Farm and Home Hour') drew mail regularly from the Wall Street area," he wrote, adding that he tried to be warm and friendly with some humor but not contrived or too corny. Mr. Beaty was born in Caddo, Okla., and graduated with a journalism degree from what is now Southeastern Oklahoma State University in Durant, Okla., in 1935. Two years after college, he became an aide to the president of the Oklahoma board of agriculture in Oklahoma City and broadcast a weekly public service program, "Oklahoma Farm and Home Hour," on WKY radio. After lifelong asthma prevented him from enlisting in the military, Mr. Beaty filled in for a soldier serving overseas as interim regional information director in Dallas of the USDA's Farm Security Administration (now Farmers Home Administration). In 1943, he was farm editor for WBAP radio in Fort Worth, with an early-morning farm program. When WBAP started television broadcasts in 1949, Mr. Beaty began a career in public service television, adding consumer gardening programs to his repertoire. In the early 1950s, he worked for two U.S. foreign aid agencies, the Economic Cooperation Administration Mission to Greece and the U.S. Foreign Operation Administration, predecessors of the U.S. Agency for International Development. As a trainer and adviser in agricultural information techniques, Mr. Beaty traveled extensively throughout Europe for the U.S. effort to help the economic recovery of postwar Europe. He moved to Washington in 1954 and a year later joined the USDA, where he was broadcast liaison to six consecutive secretaries of agriculture. After his retirement and into the early 1990s, Mr. Beaty was a consultant and freelance writer. He conducted and taped about 50 oral histories and was interviewed for the Broadcast Pioneers Library (now the Library of American Broadcasting) at the University of Maryland. In 1990, the Broadcast Pioneers honored him "for many years of distinguished service to broadcasting." He was an early member of the National Association of Radio Farm Directors (now the National Association of Farm Broadcasters) and served as the organization's secretary-treasurer in 1945 and its president in 1947. He received NAFB's Meritorious Service Award in 1980, and in 1988, he was elected to the NAFB Hall of Fame. In 1982, Mr. Beaty donated his papers to the USDA's National Agricultural Library, where they are part of the library's special collection. Mr. Beaty, a 50-year resident of Washington, moved to Mitchellville in 1994. His marriage to Ellen Ayers Beaty ended in divorce. Survivors include his wife, Virginia K. Beaty of Mitchellville, whom he married in 1966; two children from his first marriage, Sandra Cantrell of Williston, Vt., and William Beaty of Torreon, Mexico; five grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. He was born in Caddo, Oklahoma. I found the following census: 1930 Ardmore, Carter Co., OK p. 20A E Carl Beaty 40 Born AL, parents born AL Myrtle A.

He was probably born in Scotland. Probably Dumfriesshire if not Troqueer, Kirkcudbritshire where John and Anges were married in 1812. The had a daughter Elizabeth of which I only know was born in 1813 in Kirkcudbrightshire. It seems this way for that James Beattie: a son John (known as Jack Beattie); Jack is buried in Kouchibouguac, NB, Canada. Jack married Bert (?) and they had two children: Vera (who lives in Moncton, NB, Canada and was married to a Swazee. She has one daughter. Vera's brother was Jim Beattie. He died a few years ago in Dieppe, NB, Canada (which is near Moncton, NB). Bert died two years ago. Jim and June (second wife; Jim's first wife died in an auto accident--they had Corine and Francine) have a son, John who is 29. I went to his wedding in Moncton last November. The fourth brother, George Beattie, from John Baytie and Nancy Clarke Beattie, does not have any livin g heirs. He died in 1874 and is buried in the Rexton, NB, Canada Cemetery. As you know, I come from Peter Randolph Beattie, Sr., the third of the four Beattie brothers. Peter was the one born on the Atlantic Ocean. Sincerely, Don Beattie From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Subject: More Beatties in Emporium, PA. From Don Beattie Date: Thursday, May 24, 2007 9:47 AM JOHN Beattie (b. ca. 1847 [I like 1849 or 1850 better]; d. ca. 12/27/1896, age 49). See more on John below Nancy Beattie's biographical notes. Son of John Beattie (ca. 1818-1910) and Mary Ann Casey (b. The 1880 Census for Cameron County, Emporium Borough, June 4, 1880, page 12 (Census Roll #1111 (1880) says that John Beattie was age 31, a teamster and born in Nova Scotia and of Nova Scotia heritage. This same census says that his wife was Belle Beattie, age 27, keeping house, and born in Prince Edward Island of Scottish heritage. During that census there were two children living at home: Lindley E, age 7 and Cora N, age three, both born in Pennsylvania with a Nova Scotia heritage. Family/oral history has said that some of the Beatties were either born or lived in PEI or Nova Scotia. Here is the evidence with respect to John and Isabelle. They are both buried in the Newton Cemetery in Emporium, PA. (Source: Observation by Donald W. Beattie, there, April 28, 1985). John Beattie married Isabelle McSwan (b. ca 1850, according to her gravestone; d. Oct 5, 1937), known as Aunt Belle, according to their family friend and a direct nephew of Belle, George Shadman of Waterlooo, NY, who has been a great help/contact since I met him at a Beattie Family Reunion, in Binghamton, NY at my home in the early fall of 1981. Ruth Christman Swenson also verified that Aunt Belle was her direct relative from Murial Beattie, Ruth's mother in a letter to me dated, February 13, 1997. There is a Belle Beattie who lived years ago on the corner of 6th and Maple Street, according to the Cameron County Historical Society (Edna H. Bowser to Donald W. Beattie, September 9, 1980),"interred in Newton Cemetery, [but] her grave is unmarked. The John Beattie, which follows for a couple of paragraphs is a bit of a mystery to me, but only in the sense that records speak of a Sarah for a wife, when he died in 1896, and not an Isabelle. In looking at the Emporium, Pennsylvania Tombstone Inscriptions, copied and compiled by Cornelius E. Koppenheffer, 351 oward Cirlce, Emporium, Pennsylvania, December 22, 1967, I saw this same Sarah, John Beattie and Cora and LeRoy Beattie listed as persons buried in Emporium. It was in a listing with William and Elizabeth Beattie and Peter Randolph Beattie, Sr. and his third wife, Catherine W. (Kriner) Fetter. I believed, perhaps, that the copier/compiler put Sarah rather than Isabelle (Belle) on the list. One contrarian view would be that John may have had a wife, Sarah, before he married Isabelle McSwan. Nonetheless, this is the John Beattie who married Isabelle McSwan Beattie, according to Isabelle's grand neice, Ruth Christman Swenson whose, mother was Murial Elizabeth Beattie, neice to John and Isabelle Beattie. Murial went to live with her Aunt Belle when her own mother, wife of William Beattie, Elizabeth McDonald Beattie, died. Murial was age five at that time according to Ruth Christman Swenson, but other records show that Murial was just over two years of age. As a girl, in Emporium, Murial remembered sliding down Beattie Hill. It may have merely been an hill where/near the Beattie's lived. (Ruth Swenson to Donald W. Beattie, January 29, 1997 and Ruth Swenson to Donald W. Beattie, February 11, 1997). According to records of which I have seen copies from the Cameron County Historical Society, there was a JOHN Beattie--sometimes known as Little Jack (no birth dates, but if he died in 1896 at age 46 or 49, as other CCHS records suggests; therefore, he could have been born as early as 1847) who died on 12/22, 1896, age 49, whose wife was Sarah ______. I found that his parents, John Beattie and Mary Ann Casey Beattie were married in 1846? Valerie Tweedie Bartlett shared this information with me from Deborah Hale's Kouchibuguac Marriage List (03-07-02). So, even 1847 is a good date for this John's birth. This same CCHS record includes information about a daughter, Cora, who died 2/12/1881 (age, one year, ten months and two days, and a son, LeRoy Beattie (dates: 12/31/1887 - 4/26/1933, Pvt. 62nd. Trans. Corps. WW I, length of service, 2/5/1918 -- 8/5/1919. Buried near his parents in Emporium, PA, his gravestone says: Leroy W. Beattie, Pennsylvania Corpoal, d. April 25, 1935. (Source: Donald W. Beattie observation of his gravestone inscription, April 28, 1985). These may be the Cora and Roy whom George Shadman speaks about in his letter to me in 1981, in which Shadman stated that LeRoy and Cora were children of John Beattie and Isabelle McSwan Beattie and that they had died young. According to Edna H. Bower's "findings" sent to me on September 2, 1980, "In the 1850-60 census of Cameron County area, before Cameron County was formed in 1860 from Clinton, Elk, McKean, and Potter Counties, there is no one listed with the surname of Beattie." Nonetheless, she sent some fragments of households for Cameron County from the Cameron County Census of April 20, 1880. Her findings were these of my great grandfather Peter R. Beattie, age 50 and a wife, June L., age 46. Regarding John Beattie, age 31 and Wife Belle age 27, there were two children listed: Lindley E. age 7 (boy) and Cora A. age 3. I've found in my researching, that ages change from one census to another, often. Lindley E. Beattie was born before Cora Beattie and Leroy Beattie. Another account in the Cameron County Historical Society states that a John Beat[t]ie, male, age 46, married, born in Canada, a laborer, who died at North Creek, Cameron County [PA], as a result of being crushed by logs was interred in Newton Cemetery, two days after he died on December 24, 1896 (he died December 22, 1896); his death was recorded on March 10, 1897. This probably is the same person mentioned in the paragraph, above, in the CCHS information, I assume. Note: A Roy J. McSwan of Conneaut, Ohio, was a brother of Belle Beattie and the father of Mrs. Ray Shadman, all of Emporium, PA. Isabelle Beattie died, Tuesday, October 5, 1937 at 4:20 AM. At the petition of her son, Linley [sic] (or perhaps, Lindley) E. Beattie, he had been appointed administrator of her estate, with bond of surety filed with Max Balcom, Book G, page 329. I'm sure that George Shadman told me this; he knew it and has a record of it being descended from Belle McSwan Beattie. George would be related to the Beattie Family, but only through his revered Aunt Belle's children. George Shadman attended many Beattie reunions in and near Emporium (probably at Sizerville State Park) for years, he told me, in 1981 at the Reunion in Chenango Bridge, NY. Before I note their other children, I want to insert the story of John's tragic death on December 22, 1896, taken from the Cameron County Historical Society microfilm files of the December 24, 1896 issue of The Cameron County Press. Compiled by Sandra Hornung. JACK BEATTIE KILLED On Tuesday afternoon, about five o'clock, our citizens were horror stricken when Frank Craven came to town with the information that Jack Beattie had been killed, while breaking a log jam, on North Creek. Mr. Beattie was employed as foreman for Frank Craven and in company with the gentleman and a crew of men were "splashing" logs out o North Creek. A large number of logs had formed a "jam" below the Chandler homestead and the crew went to the place to remove the jam in order to do some cribbing. Mr. Craven and Mr. Beattie were standing to-gether [sic] when the splash came on, and the logs commenced to break up. Between them and the bank was a deep hole, into which Mr. Beattie jumped into the water up to his arm-pits [sic], in his efforts to get to the shore. Seeing that the logs were rapidly piling over him, he cried to Mr. Craven to hand him a pike-lever, which he did. Mr. Craven pulled but poor Jack could not extricate himself from the rolling logs, which were then closing around and squeezing him, the blood flowing from his nose and mouth. The great mass of logs bore him under and rolled him along for a distance of twenty feet and left him floating behind. Mr. Craven, who was watching for the body, jumped into the stream and carried him [Jack Beattie] to the shore. The water being too high and swift to ford, the balance of the men were compelled to remain upon the opposite bank, leaving Mr. Craven along [sic] with the body. As soon as help could get across the stream the body was carried to a neighboring house and Dr. Heilman was sent for; also Mr. Craven to bear the sad intelligence to the poor wife and four small children [undoubtedly, LeRoy (Roy), Cora and William--perhaps Murial Elizabeth--this granddaughter was, perhaps, already living with John and Isabelle; see above]. Mr. Beattie, very evidently, was dead when taken from the water. As soon as word was received here [Emporium], Mr. Peter Beattie [his uncle and Donald W. Beattie's Great Grandfather] hastened to the scene of the accident with the grief stricken wife [Isabelle McSwain Beattie], hoping for the best. The remains were brought to Emporium, arriving here about 8 o'clock in the evening. Mr. John Beattie, who had been employed as foreman for Frank Craven ever since that gentleman has been lumbering for Howard & Company here [Emporium, PA], has been a hard working industrious man and a quiet, peaceable citizen. He leaves a widow and five [sic] children to mourn his sad death - Lindley Beattie, the eldest, being grown up and married. The death of Mr. Beattie has cast a gloom over our town, where he has lived so many years and the afflicted family have the greatest sympathy of our citizens in their great affliction. The funeral will take place to-day [sic] (Thursday) from the family residence, corner of Maple and sixth streets, at 2 p.m. Interment in Newton Cemetery. John Beattie's and Isabelle McSwan Beattie's children (some of them). 1. LINDLEY OR LINLEY Beattie (b. ca. 1863). Considered John and Isabelle Beattie's eldest son. I believed he lived in Buffalo, NY. Records at the Cameron County, PA Historical Society (Cameron County Census of April 20, 1880), state that LINLEY E. Beattie, was a son of John and Belle Beattie--a white male and a laborer who married Margaret Hetherman, both age 21, on November 2, 1892, by a minister of the name of J. H. McAdams at St. Mark's parsonage in Emporium, PA. Linley [Beattie] was born in Clinton County, PA and Margaret was born in Franklin, PA; her parents were Martin and Catherine Hetherman. On September 2, 1980, I received an answer to my query about Beatties in Cameron County, PA. Enclosed with the cover letter from Edna H. Bowser, President of the Cameron County Historical Society, I received some fragments of information on the Beatties, thereabouts. Most of the paragraph, above, comes from that letter/citatons. Another citation stated: "Leon J. Beattie, a male, father Lundley [sic] Beattie, mother Maggie, parents reside Fourth Street. Emporium, PA, father's occupation brakeman, was born 13 May 1900 in Emporium." Cora, who died 2/12/1881 and a son, LeRoy Beattie (dates: 12/31/1887 - 4/26/1933; his gravestone says that he died, April 25, 1935), Pvt. 62nd. Trans. Corps. WW I, length of service, 2/5/1918 -- 8/5/1919. Local folks in Emporium, even in 1980 remembered Leroy Beattie and recalled "that he had some connection with the Beattie Circus." (Edna H. Bowser to Donald W. Beattie, September 9, 1980). 2, CORA Beattie. Cora, died, young, in 2/12/1881. 3. LEROY Beattie. LeRoy Beattie (dates: 12/31/1887 - 4/26/1933; his gravestone says that he died, April 25, 1935), Pvt. 62nd. Trans. Corps. WW I, length of service, 2/5/1918 --8/5/191. Other sources say he was a Corporal when he completed service in the Army. 4. GORDON Beattie (b. February 11, 1890; d. February 23, 1974). Father of Donald Herbert Beattie. Who were the other children of John and Isabelle (Belle) McSwan Beattie? Gordon William Beattie was one son. He was the father of Donald Herbert Beattie. I believe that John and Mary Beattie's son, William, was Murial's father, and that Ruth Christman Swenson should have said that her mother, Murial, went to live with Aunt Belle when Murial's mother died when Murial was age five. That would make Aunt Bell Beattie, wife of John Beattie (son of John and Mary Ann Casey Beattie) Murial's aunt rather than her grandmother. For clarity and my sanity, I believe that this William, which follows, is the son of John Beattie and Mary Ann Casey Beattie and that this William is a brother to their son, John Beattie who died in the log jam in 1896. ----------- Our Beatties came from "Se Dumfries shire" to Kouchibouguac, Carleton Parish, Kent County, NB, Canada in 1829 and fanned out from there especially to Maine, PA and NY. Also Detroit, Michigan where Donald Herbert Beattie was born. Donald W. Beattie WILLIAM H. Beattie (probable dates: b. 4/8, 1852; d. 1914). Son of John Beattie (ca 1818-1910) and Mary Ann Casey. Undoubtedly, William was born at Kouchibouguac, Carleton Parish, Kent County [at one time, Northumberland, CO), NB, Canada. William was 20 during the Census of 1871 and living in Kent County. The 1881 Census for Carleton Parish, Kent County Census Records states the following about a William and Elizabeth Beattie: William Beattie age 30, born in NB, Presbyterian, Scott heritage, Laborer; Elizabeth age 29, born NB, Presbyterian, Irish heritage; Children included: Mary 4; Frederick 2 and James one month. This could be the same William Beattie with the dates noted above and family members, below. I found this "duplicate" as well: William Beattie, b. NB, age 30; Elizabeth, b. NB, age 29; Children: Mary, 14 [sic]; Frederick, age 2 and James, one half month (1/2 month).His first wife was Elizabeth (Lizzie) McDonald (1853 - 1894). William and Elizabeth Beattie were married on August 9, 1876. William and Elizabeth were both from Carleton Parish, Kent CO, but apparently married in Richibucto; their minister was not noted in this marriage compilation. Their witnesses were: Charles Little and Maggie Beattie. This is substantiated in the KENT COUNTY MARRIAGE REGISTER, VOLUME II (1861-1881), P. 150 Compiled/Edited by Helen P. Brooks in 1995. Elizabeth is buried with her husband, William H. Beattie at Emporium, Pennsylvania. I have seen that gravesite/stone in the Newton Protestant Cemetery, Shippen Tsp., Emporium, PA. It is located quite near the front/left, entering the cemetery, whereas Peter Randolph Beattie's gravsesite, in the same cemetery is located much further into the cemetery and to the right/back of it. This is the much larger cemetery, of the two that I know about, in Emporium (both are on different hills a mile apart, at least). This is the so-called Protestant Cemetery. The Wily Cemetery has only about 100 gravesides (most, not marked), whereas, Newton Cemetery, the larger of the two covers approximately 50 acres or more and most graves seem to be marked. WILLIAM H. and Elizabeth Beattie were both born in Kouchibouguac, NB, Canada. There is a notation in Paul Beattie's "genealogy" that a William Beattie went to St. Stephen's, NB, across from Calais, ME (border crossing there--this would be his closest to Maine/USA from Kouchibouguac; approximately 190 miles, nowadays) in 1879. That may have been to visit or to get documentation from the Custom Office, there. Or, perhaps William and Elizabeth lived there for a time after they were married. William, as did my great grandfather Peter R. Beattie, Sr., may have gone to PA, nonetheless, on the Canadian-Pacific Railroad--perhaps from St. Stephen's or from Fredericton, NB, Canada. William was naturalized in the USA in 1891. He was a lumberman as was his uncle, my grandfather, in Emporium. His wife, Elizabeth, was an housewife. William's second wife was, purportedly, Anne Bruner or Anne Brunner. They evidently lived in Laquin, PA rather than in Emporium, PA, whereas William and Elizabeth had several if not all of their children. DB ---------------------------- Donna L-3

Alvin C. Beatty, Civil War Pension File, Certificate # 209,743; filed Pennsylvania, L75 [A copy of this pension file may be ordered through the National Archives, Washington D. C.--Laurel Baty, L252] On October 1, 1875 Alvin C. Beatty, a resident of Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio, aged 34, filed a "Declaration for Original Invalid Pension." He states that "he is the identical Alvin C. Beatty who was a Private of Company F in the 135 Regiment of Penna Volunteers in the war of 1861, for the suppression of the Rebellion. That he volunteered at New Florence in the State of Penna on or about the 8th day of August 1862 for the term of ___ and was honorably discharged at Washington on the 24 day of November, 1862. This being the only service he ever rendered. That while in said service in the line of duty at Washington in the District of Columbia on or about the __ day of __ 186_ he contracted Chronic Rheumatism from exposure lying on the wet ground, for which he was treated at Hospital near the Capitol at Washington D. C." Alvin Beatty filed another application for pension July 9, 1877; his post office address at this time was Blairsville, Indiana County, Pennsylvania. On August 11, 1882 Alvin C. Beatty filed a "Declaration for Restoration to the Rolls." His post office address is Derry's Station, Westmoreland Co., Pa. On August 10, 1912 Alvin C. Beatty, aged 71 and a resident of Derry, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, filed a Declaration For Pension under the Act of May 11, 1912. He states "that his personal description at enlistment was as follows: Height 5 feet 2 ¼ inches; complexion light; color of eyes gray; color of hair light; that his occupation was Tradesman; that he was born 1841 at Indiana County, Pennsylvania. That his several places of residence since leaving the service have been as follows: Blairsville, Indiana County Penna thence Millwood, Derry Township then Derry April 1882. That he is a pensioner under certificate No. 209743." The following letter from Alvin C. Beatty to the Commissioner of Pensions is in the file, dated April 1, 1913 (I have chosen to modernize the spelling in this letter): Dear Sir, I do wish to state to you on oath to the best of my knowledge that I am not able to give you the correct date of my birth. Nor can I give you any record of the family Bible. There was a man lived in Bolivar Pa by the name of Mr. Bennett told me that they had my Mother's Bible. He has moved away. My mother died when I was near 5 years of age. My father put six of us out to homes and I am at loss to tell you any other thing than I am telling you. My mind is so bad I can't remember but little. I have given you to the best of knowledge. It will be no credit to me to tell you nothing but the truth. My time is short here I feel that way I have indigestion very bad for the past 15 months. But rheumatism is my greatest trouble. I have not worked one hour for the past 5 years to earn one dollar. I am not hardly able to go to the office to make oath. My left hand is in very bad shape, ??? has become hard and swelled. A. C. Beatty The following note was attached to this letter: Dear Sir, I have two brothers that was soldiers.
