Mr Beattie died Friday at the home of his sister, Mrs H C Haynsworth, in Sumter. he had not been in good health for a year, but his death was sudden and unexpected. He did not come down to breakfast Friday morning, and was visited during the morning by a member of the family, when he seemed to be quietly sleeping, but a second visit showed that he was ill and soon thereafter he passed away in his sleep. It was the manner of death he had hoped for himself, and resting place in the historic graveyard of the Church of the Holy Cross was also in accord with his wish that he be buried near where he died, and that his body not be transported any distance.
