General Notes: Husband - Robert Beatty

---

He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, attended the city schools until his ninth year, and then began work in the Phillips glass house. Three years later he began studying engineering, in time becoming expert in that line, and devoted most of his adult life to different branches of that business. His professional career, however, was interrupted in early manhood by the Civil war; on April 27, 1861, he enlisted in Company G, 11th Pennsylvania reserve corps, with which he served until Jan. 13, 1864. On August 22d of that year he joined Company H, 18th regiment, Pennsylvania cavalry, with which he remained until June 8, 1865. He took part in eighteen battles and many skirmishes, including Bull Run, South mountain, Antietam, Seven Days' fight, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Wilderness, Spottsylvania, North Anna river, Bethesda church, and the cavalry engagement at Waynesboro. During the seven days' fighting around Richmond he was in the bloody battles at Malvern Hill, Gainesville, Charles City, Cross Roads and other engagements of minor importance. After returning home, Mr. Beatty resumed work in his chosen profession, being employed on railroads and in rolling mills at Pittsburgh. In 1885 he entered the electric light business, and a year later had charge of the Sharpsburg waterworks. In 1894 he came to Tarentum, and put the traction company in operation, and in 1902 went to St. Louis with the Pittsburg reduction company as chief engineer. He remained in the Missouri metropolis until May 15, 1903, when he returned to Tarentum to take charge of the electric lighting plant of that place as superintendent. He was a natural mechanic, of superior ability, and enjoyed high standing with those whom he served in various positions of trust and responsibility. He adhered to republican principles throughout life, and took pride in the fact that he cast his first vote for Abraham Lincoln, when that immortal martyr was making his race for re-election in 1864. He was a member of Custer post, No. 38, Grand Army of the Republic, at Etna, Pennsylvania, and, like other members of the Beatty family, was always an adherent of the Presbyterian church.
