The 1850 census lists two Simon Beatties living in Peach Bottom Township, York County, Pennsylvania. One is Simon Beatty, age sixteen and born in Scotland, living with John & Agness Beatty, the same parents listed on the tombstone shown here in the photo. The second man is Simon L. Beatty, age fourteen and born in Pennsylvania, living with Catherine Beattie, who appears to be his mother. Neither man appears in the 1860 census either in Pennsylvania or Maryland.
A Civil War veteran, he enlisted at the stated age of twenty-seven in Baltimore, Maryland, March 4, 1864, and mustered into federal service there March 9 as a private with Co. M, 1st Maryland Cavalry. Hospitalized at Fortress Monroe, Virginia, during April and May 1864, he returned to duty and honorably discharged with his company August 8, 1865.
Approximately twenty years later and upon application by a friend or family member, the federal government issued the headstone shown in the photograph to a Simon L. Beattie, Co. M, 1st Maryland Cavalry. There is no date of issue on the headstone record nor is there a date of death. Unfortunately, there is no record of Simon L. Beattie or any member of his family applying for a military pension.
