Date 1901 WILLIAM M. BEATTIE The firm of Beattie & Blessing stands as a worthy exponent of the stockraising industry in Fergus county. They have brought to bear marked capacity and discrimination in their business and command the confidence and esteem of the community. William M. Beattie was born in Fayette co., Pa., on the 2d of February, 1842, the son of John and Anna Maria Beattie, both of whom were born in Pennsylvania and represent good old families of that state. In his early manhood John Beattie devoted his attention to teaching school and later became superintendent of large ironworks at Uniontown, Pa. He was a stalwart Democrat, a man of strong character and great executive force, and served on the board of supervisors of Fayette county, and was also justice of the peace for years. He was a Presbyterian in religious thought, of which church his wife was also a member. His death occurred in 1890. His widow now resides at Iowa City, Iowa. They had eleven children, of whom Ella and Belle are deceased, the others are Sarah A., Anna K., Jane H., Alice A., William M., Mary M., Louisa B., Isaiah M., and George D. William M. Beattie attended the public schools of his native county and when sixteen found employment on a farm for two years, when he embarked in the same line of enterprise for himself in Rock Island co., Ill., until 1873, when failing health led him to close out his interests and make a trip through Kansas and Nebraska, and thence on to California. Here he remained some years, coming to Montana in the spring of 1882 and locating at Boulder, Jefferson county, where he conducted a successful dairy business until 1883. He then came to Fergus county and took up a squatter's claim twelve miles south of Cottonwood, which is now known as the Mahana place. Here he was very successful and here also he became associated with Samuel V. Blessing in 1888, the firm of Beatty & Blessing there continuing successful operations until 1898 when they sold the property at a good price, the ranch at that time comprising 320 acres. The partnership of the two gentlemen still continues, and since disposing of the Mahana ranch they have continued stockraising on a fine ranch of 524 acres, located nine miles south of Cottonwood. They give their attention paeticularly to the raising of a high grade of cattle. In politics Mr. Beattie is a staunch Democrat. 1840 United States Federal Census about Jno Beaty Name: Jno Beaty Township: Union County: Fayette State: Pennsylvania 1 m 30-40 2 f und 5 2 f 5-10 1 f 20-30 1 f 40-50 1850 United States Federal Census about Anne M Baily Name: Anne M Baily Age: 34 Estimated birth year: abt 1816 Birth Place: Pennsylvania Gender: Female Home in 1850 (City,County,State): Union, Fayette, Pennsylvania John Baity 48 blacksmith PA Anne M. 34 PA Sarah A. 17 PA Jane 12 PA Alice 10 PA William 8 PA Mary 4 PA Julia 9/12 PA 1860 United States Federal Census about Wm Beatty Name: Wm Beatty Age in 1860: 18 Birth Year: abt 1842 Birthplace: Pennsylvania Home in 1860: Canoe Creek, Rock Island, Illinois Gender: Male Post Office: Port Byron Value of real estate: View image Household Members: Name Age John Beatty 57 farm 800-275 PA (all) Anna M Beatty 43 Adelaide Beatty 26 Jennie Beatty 22 teacher Wm Beatty 18 Mary Beatty 14 Louisa Beatty 10 Marshall Beatty 6 Ellen Beatty 4 Dawson Beatty 3 Laura Beatty 1 1870 United States Federal Census about Allice Beatty Name: Allice Beatty Estimated birth year: abt 1840 Age in 1870: 30 Birthplace: Pennsylvania Home in 1870: Canoe Creek, Rock Island, Illinois Family and neighbors: View Results Race: White Gender: Female Value of real estate: View image Post Office: Hill Station William Beatty 56 farm 400-2200 PA Mary 54 PA Alice 30 PA Mary 20 PA Louisa 15 PA Marshall 13 PA William 25 PA Ellen 10 PA 1880: Canoe Creek, Rock Island, Illinois Source: FHL Film 1254245 National Archives Film T9-0245 Page 228D Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace Charles TROWBRIDGE Self M M W 32 IL Occ: Farmer Fa: NY Mo: IL Louisa TROWBRIDGE Wife F M W 29 PA Occ: Keeps House Fa: PA Mo: PA Clive TROWBRIDGE Son M S W 5 IL Fa: --- Mo: --- Lee TROWBRIDGE Son M S W 1 IL Fa: --- Mo: --- William BEATTY BroL M S W 38 PA Fa: PA Mo: PA TROWBRIDGE, CHARLES D -BEATTY, LOUISA B -ROCK ISLAND co., IL- 11/27/1873 1880: North English, Iowa, Iowa Source: FHL Film 1254345 National Archives Film T9-0345 Page 277D Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace Ira P.

A history of Montana. Chicago: Lewis Pub. Co., 1913. Includes bibliographical references and index. Vol. II pg. 1267 DR. ISAIAH M. BEATTY is a well-known practitioner of osteopathy, and together with his son, known as the young. doctor, Albert, has done much in the way of compelling recognition for their system, as the very extensive practice of which Dr. Beatty is the head bears testimony. The senior doctor is the son of John M. and Anna M. (Marshall) Beatty, both natives of the state of Pennsylvania, born of Scotch-Irish parents where they were reared and married, but who passed much of their lives in Illinois; both are now resting in a cemetery near Erie, Whiteside county, Illinois. Dr.Isaiah M. Beatty was born in Dawson, Fayette county, Pennsylvania, m March, 1854, and was three years of age when his parents removed from the old Keystone state to Rock Island county, Illinois, where the subject lived until he had passed his twenty-eighth birthday. He was educated there and for many years aided his father with a will in the cultivation Of the old homestead 'upon which he was raised. He was but twenty-two years of age when he married Lucy J. Schryver, of Erie, Illinois, and the birth of their first son, Dr. Albert H. Beatty, inspired the young father WIth a deSire for broader fields of activity and usefulness. It was in 1883 that Doctor Beatty and his young wife and child set out for Montana. He stopped in Boulder City for a few months, but in July pushed on to the Judith Basin in Fergus county, arriving there August 11th, where he has since remained. Here he engaged in dairying, but owing to the low price of dairy products decided it would not yield him an income sufficient to the needs of his family, so in March, 1885, moved to Maiden, where he was employed in the mines and mill. In April, 1887, the mines closed down. He opened a barber shop, and later moved to Gilt Edge, there operating a similar, establishment and stock raising in conjunction. At times he fell ill, from 1893 to 1898, and after a thorough experience with well-known and usually successful physicians in Montana, Illinois, Iowa, and in fact every prominent center in the United States in search of a relief for headache, stomach trouble, and nervous exhaustion, etc., he realized that the old recognized systems of materia medica were ' all guess work, and were failing to reach a large class of the ills of the flesh to which man is heir. As the result of continued study of the question in combination, with his practical experience, he finally decided, in March, 1898, upon osteopathy as the solution to his problem, and went to Helena, where he took treatment from Drs. A. D. and C. W. Mahaffay, osteopathic physicians, where he received. great benefit. After investigating osteopathy very carefuUy for two years he decided to move his family to Kirksville, the fountain head of osteopathy, where in February, 1901, he and his son entered the school, and two yearS later they graduated from that institution, whereupon they returned to Lewistown, and opened up the practice which has with the passing years assumed such splendid proportions. The young doctor now has a wife and family of his own, and has taken up his permanent residence in Lewistown. Doctor and Mrs. Beatty were the parents of five children: Doctor Albert, the eldest son, who is mentioned above; Mable, born on Cottonwood creek in Fergus county, died at the age of six years; John M. is a wholesale' cigar manufacturer at Stanford, Montana; Charles H: and Juanita, are still in the parental home and are the youngest of the five. On AugUst 24, 1906, the wife and mother died, since when the doctor married Lena W. Tuttle, the wife of Alex. Tuttle, of the firm of Tuttle' Brothers of Stanford, MQntana, their marriage occurring on January 16, 1910; at Butte, Montana. " The Beatty family affiliate with the Presbyterian church, although the doctor is not a communicant; he is a member of the Odd Fellows and Sisters of Rebekah Lodge, and in a political way is a Democrat, although he gives but little time to those matters. Work with his bees and fancy poultry constitutes his chief pastime. He is the owner of a fine ranch and he has come to be local authority on bee culture, devoting much time to their care. The doctor has lived in a number of states. and traveled in many, but none of them, in his opinion, can compare with Montana, the chosen state of his adoption.
