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.

—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
“Negro history must be studied, not only because it is the history of over 19 millions, but American life as a whole cannot be understood without knowing it.”
