Eddie Bee, Papa, or Bee, as he was known to family members, was the 9th child of John Patrick Beaty and Mary Thomas Wilhelm. There were 13 children in all. He married his childhood sweetheart, Vina Mae Wadsworth on April 15, 1913 in Comanche, Texas. They were the parents of 4 sons and 4 daughters. From Comanche they moved around quite a bit. He worked at Farming, a Candy Factory, a Section foreman on the Cottonbelt R.R., made boot leg whiskey during the depression to earn money to live on, as a Butcher for Piggly Wiggly Grocery Store, cutting cedar posts in the Cedar Brakes for the ranchers outside Brackettville, bought a boat and fished the coastal waters near and in Baytown, and then farming again was his last job in Del Rio, where he ended his days. Papa was a good man, honest, kind, and would give the shirt off his back to anyone who needed something. I wish my children could have known him.
