Clinton MO - W. T. Beaty departed this life at the home of his son-in-law, J. A. Beaty, two and one-half miles southwest of Calhoun, December 6, 1897. Uncle Billy was born in Cumberland County, Ky. October 27, 1804 and grew to manhood on his father's farm. After attaining his majority, he entered life as a gunsmith and plied his vocation with vigor and determination. In 1830, he went from Kentucky to Illinois. while there, he heard Lorenzo Dow preach in interesting sermon, standing in a wagon bed. In October of the same year, he went to saline County, Mo. where he lived until 1833, when he moved to Henry. He worked here at the gunsmith trade and followed farming and stock raising. Married Feb. 25, 1836 to Sally Pinnell, who fell asleep in Jesus May 23, 1876. In 1846, he united with the M. E. Church South, and was always ready and willing to give advice, especially to those who were out of Christ. He was so patient during his last few months of suffering; surely nothing but grace could make him uncomplainingly bow to the will of god. Oh, how he will be missed at his home, but how sweet rest must be to him. Uncle Billy leaves three daughters, Mrs. T. S. Taylor, Mrs. J. Showalter and Mrs. J. A. Beaty; twelve grandchildren and six great-grandchildren
