Pages 573-574 [available on Ancestry.com] JAMES BEATTIE. Scientists claim that the physical features of a country largely in­fluence the habits and development of its inhabitants. Where the surface is rugged arid the climate neither too severe nor too enervat­ing, and where man has to toil in order to secure the necessaries and comforts of life, there will be found the highest types of humanity, both mentally and physically. Our subject has descended from such ancestry, and was himself born in the "land of the heather" in Aberdeenshire, Aug. 11, 1823. He is now enjoying in a large measure the esteem and confidence of the people of his county, who have elected him to the responsible position of Treasurer of the county. The parents of our subject, Walter and Catherine (Anderson) Beattie, were natives of the same country as their son, and there remained engaged in agri­cultural pursuits until 1830. Being circumscribed in their farming operations, with a family growing up around them, they determined to seek a field of labor which held out more inducements for the rising generation. Accordingly, in 1830, they bade good-by to their home and friends and set sail for the New World. Upon their arrival in this country they soon made their way to Ohio, where they set­tled in Richland County upon a farm, which the father improved, and where both parents passed the remainder of their days. James Beattie was one of a family of nine chil­dren, three boys and six girls, who came to brighten the household of their parents; all lived to be men and women, assisting in the laudable effort to build up a home and a position in society, while five of them are still living. James was the fifth in order of birth, and passed his early years in his native shire, attending the parish school, in which he con­tinued until he was thirteen years old, when he as­sisted his father on the farm, and also taught school. In the summer of 1840 he came to America, land­ing at Oswego, N. Y., whence he went to Cleveland, Ohio, and from there to his parents in Richland County. He taught school in that county for some time, and then attended the Ashland Academy, where he pursued his studies two years, after which he resumed his profession and taught four years in one district, and then in different districts for twenty quarters. He next engaged in agricultural pursuits in Ashland County, which he followed a number of years, alternating the work with school teaching. In the fall of 1862 Mr. Beattie went to Williams County, Ohio, and settling on a farm remained there until his removal to this county, ten years later. Here he settled on a farm in Amboy Town­ship, and engaged in farming pursuits, residing there until his removal to the city of Hillsdale. He served as Supervisor of Amboy Township eight years, and since his residence in Hillsdale he has served in different capacities. In the fall of 1886 he was elected by the Republican party to the of­fice of Treasurer of Hillsdale County, assuming his duties on the 1st of January of the following year. The services he has rendered in this and other offi­cial capacities have elevated Mr. Beattie to the high­est esteem and confidence of the community in which he lives. The subject of this sketch was united in marriage, in 1846, with Miss Susan Bright, a native of Ash­land, Ohio, and a daughter of John Bright, Esq. Of this union there have been born four children, as follows: Thomas H. resides in Ashland County, Ohio; Catherine, in the same place; Elizabeth is the wife of Oscar Finnegan, residing in Montpelier, Ohio, and Ida is the wife of Augustus Lautermilk, a far­mer in Amboy Township. The mother of these children was a devoted member of the Christian Church, as is also Mr. Beattie. Mrs. Beattie bade farewell to the things of earth and was gathered to her fathers, Sept. 8, 1885. In politics Mr. Beattie was formerly a Whig, and upon the organization of the Republican party he naturally identified himself with that organization, and has since given it his cordial and able support.
