Biography

William was born about 1866 in Floyd, Iowa. He is the son of Edward Beattie and Elizabeth Butler. ^[1]

His siblings are: Louis A Beattie (1869-1923 ), Rose M Beattie (1870-1952) and Zoe Beattie (1882-1918).

His half-siblings from his mother's first marriage are: Mary Matilda Saltsgiver (1857-1923), Sarah Ellen Saltsgiver (1859-1941 ) and James Franklin Saltsgiver (1862-1936).

William, unmarried, is cited at home with parents in every census between 1870 and 1910.

After his parents passed, William may have stayed awhile in Iowa. By 1920 though, he had moved out to Oregon and found work with the railroad, as freight handler or clerk. ^{[2] [3]}

William passed away in 1948 in Oregon. ^{[4] [5]}
