    • Death of a Former Resident of Puslinch

      Word was sent to Mr. Stirton, Postmaster of the death of William Beattie of West Dumfries, early Thursday morning, in his 69th year. He will be remembered by the older residents of Guelph and Puslinch as the eldest son of Francis Beattie, who settled in Puslinch in the year 1835. After he grew up, he farmed for a good many years in Puslinch and about twenty years ago, moved to Waterloo County, where he continued farming. He had been failing for some time but last Saturday, he was seized with paralysis, which gradually spread all over the body. He was of a quiet, kindly disposition, scrupulously honest and honourable in all his dealings and was held in the highest respect by all who knew him. He leaves a widow and nine children all of whom were present at his death except one daughter and two sons. One of his sons, Rev. Andrew Beattie is a Presbyterian minister in New York City. Mr. Beattie was buried on Saturday.

Mr. Beattie came from Scotland in 1834, and after spending some time in the employ of the Messrs. Ferrie, at Doon, took up a farm in Puslinch, on which he resided for some years. He then removed to another farm, which he purchased near Kossuth, leaving which, he purchased the farm on which he died, and on which he has resided for nineteen years. Mr. Beattie was in his 60th year. He leaves a widow and ten children, eight sons and two daughters, viz. - Francis, farmer, near Blair; John, agent of the Ingersoll Manufacturing Company; William, farmer, town-line, Waterloo; Revd.
