Born in Jamaica he left with his mother, after his father died, living in Oberlin,Ohio. He attended public schools and the Oberlin college preparatory schools there. The winters proved strong there. His mother, Mrs Angelica Strong Beattie, and grandmother, Mrs.Laura Strong, moved to Redlands with him when he was 15 years of age, and purchased land on what was later to be Pioneer avenue in Lugonia. They lived there for eight years. At 18 he began teaching in a one-room structure on the corner of the present Lugonia and Church streets.
In 1882 Judson and Brown, who were later to subdivide what is now Redlands, were laying out a tract of land on the East Highlands bench. With his mother and grandmother he moved across the Santa Ana River to East Highlands.
Mr. Beattie opened the first school in Lugonia, May 14, 1877, and taught until 1879. He taught again in Lugonia in the year 1881-82, and was a trustee of the Lugonia district in 1880 to 1881. The following year, 1882, Mr. Beattie moved to East Highlands. He was secretary of the North Fork Water Company from 1885 to 1895 and clerk of the Board of Supervisors of San Bernardino County from 1887 to 1889. For the next two years he was county treasurer, and from 1891 to 1895 county superintendent of schools. Since 1895 Mr. Beattie has been a special student in physics, chemistry and pedagogy at the University of California at Berkeley, and is now a reader in the department of chemistry in this university.
