This was sent to me, and i hope someone out there might be able to address this persons request. sincerly David Hi, I came across your web site in search of an old war buddy. I am trying to locate Earl R Beaty from Lamoni Iowa, Decatur County (spelling) I think that passed away a few years ago but I am trying to locate a family member that could give me some information on him. He and my dad served in the Korean conflict together in the 75th artillery battalion Co B any info that you have would be appreciated thanks, Bennis Blake Lufkin, Texas

Greetings David and Bennis, In looking at some references from Lucas Co., IA, there were no Earl R. Beaty's or R. Beaty's or variations thereof. However, in the Heritage 2000 book - History of Lucas Co. -- there was a Marvin Beaty [d. 1991] and descendants with an Evalee Hunerdosse as the author. [Don't know her relationship, if any to the Beaty line.] It appears this family lived at Russell, Lucas Co., Iowafor a long time and that may be an area for Bennis to focus on for a Iowa contact for the Beaty line. Specifically, there is a son, Michael Beatty, farmer & Beaty Insurance business, east of Russell, who may still be living there. It is possible that Michael knows of Earl R. Beaty. Decatur Co., is just southwest of Lucas Co., so it's possible Michael's father could be a relative to Earl.
