    3. I know Donna posted a Biography of this man but I found 2 more today that seem to give additional information--sorry if this a repeat. I will post one and if anyone wants the other let me know (it has pretty much the same information): >From "Portrait and Biographical Record of Stark County, Ohio," Chicago, Chapman Bros, 1892: pages 454-455 Dr. George Stewart Beatty, dentist, Canton, Ohio...[a long description of why it is important to go to the dentist..] is a native of the Empire State, born in Pennfield, Monroe County, September 30, 1818. His father, Benjamin Beatty, was a native of New Jersey, and was reared principally in New York State, where later in life he followed the occupation of farmer. His [Benjamin's] father, Isaac Beatty, was born in the Northern part of Ireland, but went from there to England, where he took passage for America. He was a Captain in the Revolutionary War and served faithfully from the beginning to the close. The father of our subject died when the latter was but twelve years of age. The mother was born at Kinderhook, N. Y., on the banks of the Mohawk River, and was a daughter of Jacob Vausburg, whose ancestors were from Holland. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Beatty married the second time, and received her final summons in Crawford County, Pa. Dr. George Stewart Beatty, the eldest of four children, a daughter and three sons, passed his youth in his native county and in addition to a common-school education attended Victor Academy. He remained in his native county until twenty-two years of age, and then commenced the study of dentistry at Meadville, Pa., with Dr. Atkinson, a noted physician and dentist. The Doctor commenced his practice at Meadville, and traveled at intervals for a number of years. In 1844, he came to Canton, opened an office and practiced until 1860, when he returned to New York, locating in Chautauqua County, where he remained four years. >From there he moved to Toledo, Ohio, and was engaged in the active practice of his profession for fourteen years, when he moved to Akron, this State. After practicing his profession there for five years, in May, 1885, he returned to Canton, where he purchased the fixtures of John Siddall, opened an office and continued his practice at the same stand. He is well provided with every new improved appliance for making the extraction of teeth as easy and painless an operation as possible; also preserves the natural teeth and makes to order artificial teeth. Dr. Beatty was first married to Miss Charlotte Whitney, of Silver Creek, N. Y., daughter of Capt. J. C. Whitney, and ten children were born to this union, five of whom attained maturity. They were as follows: William C., in the Cleveland & Canton Railroad Office; Bertha A., wife of Frank Bursherd, of Toledo, Ohio; Adda married A. H. Clark, now of Washington State; Mary, wife of Edward Reardon, now of Dallas, Tex., and Ella, wife of C. Snyder, of Toledo, Ohio. The Doctor's present wife was formerly Mrs. Jennie (Crockham) Tyron. No children have been born to this marriage. In politics, the Doctor is a Republican, and his first Presidential vote was cast for William H. Harrison and his last for Benjamin Harrison. Once more his vote will be cast for a Harrison this year, 1892. He resides at No. 209 West Seventh Street. Laurel Baty, L252
