Working Life
Beattie was born in 1899. In the mid-1950s he was farming a 120-acre (0.49 km2) farm and living at Ashgrove House in Dunbreen, County Tyrone, together with his wife Eileen, one son and two daughters. In addition to his farming activity, Beattie went into business as an auctioneer in about 1944, with premises at 53 High Street in Omagh. He advertised the property he was auctioning weekly in local newspapers circulating in County Tyrone, including the Nationalist Ulster Herald.

Famous quotes related to working life:
“... it must be obvious that in the agitation preceding the enactment of [protective] laws the zeal of the reformers would be second to the zeal of the highly paid night-workers who are anxious to hold their trade against an invasion of skilled women. To this sort of interference with her working life the modern woman can have but one attitude: I am not a child.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
