Margaret Beat (109991486)
Suggested edit: MRS. MARGARET BEAT
(Section 16, Post-Office, Wheeling).
There are in every community some persons who, on account of their industry and practical management of the affairs which fall to their lot, deserve special credit; and such is Mrs. Beat. Since the death of her husband some two years ago, she has, with the assistance of her eldest daughter, Miss Rachel, managed the farm in a most admirable manner, in fact, the skill, business tact and judgment they have displayed have equaled those of their neighbors, though of course they have encountered the disadvantages that universally fall to woman's lot when placed in opposition with the sterner sex. Mrs. Beat was born in the town of Alva, in Stirlingshire, Scotland, October 22, 1840, her father, James Morrison, referred to elsewhere, having been a native of the same locality. On March 20, 1856, she was married, becoming the wife of William Beat, who was born in Perthshire, Scotland, at Methvin, March 10, 1829. By occupation he was a farmer. His father was a large manufacturer of cotton fabrics at Perth. Upon deciding to come to America, Mr. Beat left the home of his childhood in 1844; reaching America and immediately settling at Milwaukee, Wis., which place he reached July 4, of that year. Subsequently he moved upon a farm in Dane county, west of Madison, where he gave his attention to agricultural pursuits until the spring of 1868, then coming to Livingston county, and locating on the farm which his widow now occupies. Here his death occurred February 25, 1884, at the age of 55. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, as his wife also is, and held membership in Wheeling Lodge of the Grange. He left a family of eight children, six of whom are living: Rachel, born June 18, 1859; James, born September 9, 1862, died November 1, 1869; Jessie, born March 8, 1864, died February 8, 1877; Christiana, born December 21, 1867; Mamie, born September 8, 1871; Edwin, born May 20, 1874; Ida, born February 3, 1878; Bertie, born January 21, 1880. Mr. Beat was a man recognized as a progressive agriculturist, and in his death the community realized a severe loss. His widow is one of the most respected persons of this township.

Note: From Connie Beat Sims,
William Beat came to America aboard the Adam Carr with His fatrher, David and mother, Janet Watson Beat and his brother, John David Beat, in 1844 leaving from Glasgow, Scotland and Arriving in New York June 13 1844. They did indeed live in Methven or close by, family records indicate David Beat Worked in A cotton Mill, not owning one and their passage was paid by Mr. Menzies, perhaps an inlaw of David's wife Janet Watson.
