A Civil War veteran, he enlisted at the apparently overstated age of seventeen - suggesting he had parental approval despite falsifying his age - September 3, 1864, as a substitute for William Divelbiss, ostensibly a relative of the family with whom he had been living for years. Robert mustered into federal service that day as a private with Co. K, 17th Pennsylvania Cavalry (162nd Pennsylvania), and honorably discharged with his company June 16, 1865.
He then enlisted at the stated age of nineteen with the post-war army in Chambersburg September 3, 1866, assigned to Co. I, 19th U.S. Infantry - he also listed U.S. General Services - and honorably discharged at term's end September 3, 1869, at Little Rock, Arkansas, a private. His enlistment record spells his surname "Beaty."
After the army, he returned to Franklin County and married Eliza Ann Helman ca. 1870, fathering the children you see linked below. By 1900 was living with his family Township 6 , Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory. His obituary (see below) and a death notice in the Daily Law Journal-Record spell his surname "Beaty." His organizational pension index that spells his surname "Beatty" claims he died on February 16, but his obituaries state otherwise.
