John A. Beatty

DOD: 7 Jul 1876


JOHN A. BEATTY

Died, on Friday the 7th inst., at his residence on Main Street, John A. Beatty, aged 40 years, 11 months, and 11 days.

The deceased was the youngest son of Francis Beatty, of Salem township recently deceased. He removed to this place about 10 years ago, where he has been steadily engaged in his legitimate business, that of carpenter and joiner, and was ever known as an upright citizen, and an unassuming Christian gentleman.  He was in the prime of life, having but passed meridian of his days, so to speak, and in appearance had many years before him. But his disease, typhoid pneumonia, had taken a severe hold upon him from the first and baffled the skill of his physicians, until death put an end to suffering. He had long been a member of the Presbyterian Church, and had recently been made a ruting elder. He leaves a wife and six children to mourn his loss.
