He drowned at Tybee Island (Savannah Beach), while with several other family members. His younger sister, Beulah, and her husband Carl Richmond, and their children. The water was very rough, and he was caught by an "under-tow". He was 1 of 2 people who drowned the same day. He was very well known, and he had a large funeral. There is a very large write-up in the Savannah newspaper about his death. He used to be a reporter for the same newspaper.
Grandfather of Stephen C. Beaty (1949- 20??) of Savannah, Ga.
