Mr. Beatty was 61 years old and always lived here. For years he was a practicing physician but retired from active practice of his profession a few years ago. He served with the Medical Corps of the Army during the World War and was a member of the local post of the American Legion. Short funeral services were conducted by Rev.

He taught in the public schools for a few years and in 1898 graduated from the Louisville Medical College. His marriage to Maude Lane, daughter of Thomas and Rachel [Hobson] Lane was a happy one which lasted thru sunshine and shadow throughout the years. He with his wife came to French Lick in 1915, coming from Freeland Park, Benton County, Indiana at which place he was engaged in the practice of medicine. He was most unselfish in his administering to the sick and felt that every call should be answered.

When our country was called to arms he enlisted and went into service as captain of the Medical Corps and was stationed at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. Being fond of travel, he and his wife visited many interesting places in his own country, with a trip to Europe a few years ago.

Meridith, had charge of the funeral services with a beautiful tribute from Atty. Harry Carpenter, a close friend of the doctor's. Interment at Ames Chapel with the American Legion paying last honors."
