Dentist, was born, September 30th, 1813, in Penfield, Monroe county, and is a son of the late Benjamin and Amy Beatty, both Americans and of Irish and Hollander descent. He was educated at Penfield and Victor, New York. When he was about thirteen years old his father died, and, his mother marrying again, he went to live with an aunt, with whom he remained until he was twenty-two years old. One year afterwards he was appointed Constable and Deputy Sheriff of Chautauqua county, New York, which positions he held for two years. In 1838 he removed to Buffalo, where he was engaged in the grocery business for two years, and in 1840 he went to Meadville, Pennsylvania, where he commenced reading medicine, meanwhile studying dentistry. In 1842 he commenced practising the latter profession in Meadville, where he continued for two years thereafter, and then removed to Canton, Stark county, Ohio, where he continued his professional duties for some time. After visiting other towns he finally settled in Toledo, in 1865, where he has since resided, and where he takes rank as a leading dentist. He attributes his success to his close application to business and his skill in mechanical and operative dentistry. He is a member of the Masonic order in good standing, being connected with a lodge in Canton. His political sentiments were originally those of the Whig party; but since the demise of that organization he is attached to Republican principles. He was married, 1835, to Charlotte Whitney, of New York State. Nelda L.
