All I know about him is from my grandfather's 1954 obituary that I have included below. In this very faded obituary I have, his name is shown as Elick or Flick Beaty, it's really hard to make out. If you have any information or know where I might find any info on this person, please let me know. Thank you in advance. 4/15/1954 - ISAAC FRANKLIN BEATY - Gaffney, SC - Isaac Franklin Beaty, 71, of 1481 Third Avenue died in a Columbia hospital Wednesday afternoon.
