The Ionia Standard, Friday, January 22, 1886

Nathaniel Beattie, who has been confined to his house for the past eight 
years, died on Friday night last.  He had a paralytic shock week before last, 
which was the immediate cause of his death.  Mr. Beattie was one of the oldest 
and most highly esteemed residents of the city, and the family have the 
sympathy of a host of friends in their affliction.  The funeral services took 
place on Sunday afternoon, and were attended by a large number of our citizens.

The deceased was born in Coldenham, Orange county, N.Y., February 29, 1815.  
He removed to Bloomfield, Oakland county, in this state, in 1829.  He was 
married April 9, 1839, to Catharine Wallace (Who survives him) and removed to 
Ionia county in 1839.  He settled in the township of Keene, where he followed 
the business of farming until 1853, when he came to Ionia and has resided here 
since. 

Mr. Beattie was regarded as an honorable business man, and he was very 
successful.  But now, for nearly ten years, he has been ill so as to almost 
entirely incapacitate him for any labor.  For eight years he has been confined 
to the house, much of the time in his bed, and he has required the constant 
care of a devoted wife and family.  He was for many years a member of the M. 
E. church.  In politics he was a staunch democrat and his last visit outside 
his sick room was to vote his party ticket.
