Bio- Carl Elias Beaty- Marion Co.


     Carl Elias Beaty has had a well known diversified business career
in Marion Co., but his active interests are now concentrated in the
automobile industry, as president and general manager of the Standard
Garage Company of Fairmont.
     Mr. Beaty was born in Mannington, West Virginia, July 6, 1884, son
of Newton S. and Margaret Ann (Blackshere) Beaty, and grandson of James
and Maria Beaty, both natives of Mannington. Newton S. Beaty was born at
Mannington in 1838, spent the first part of his life as a farmer, and
subsequently had extensive interests in real estate, specializing in the
handling of coal and oil lands. In the latter part of his life he was a
director of the Exchange Bank of Mannington, an institution which he
helped organize. He held that office at the time of his death in 1898.
In the order of Masonry he was affiliated with Mannington Lodge No. 31,
A.F. and A.M. Orient Chapter No. 9,  A.M., Crusade Commandry No.6, K.T.,
West Virginia Consistory No. 1 of the Scottish Rite at Wheeling, and
also Osiris Temple of the Mystic Shrine at Wheeling. His wife, Margaret
Ann Blackshere, was born at Mannington in 1849, daughter of Elias and
Eliza (Raymer) Blackshere, natives ofGreene County, Pa., and of Scotch
ancestry.
     Carl E. Beaty, representing the third generation of the family at
Mannington, attended the public schools of his native town, spent one
year in the University of West Virginia, and left there in 1904 to
continue his studies in Ohio Northern University at Ada, where he
graduated with the degree Ph. G. in 1906. In August of that year he
entered the drug business at Mannington, and continued successfully in
that line for seven years. Selling out his store, he took up farming and
the live stock business, operating the farm from his home in Mannington.
In the meantime he was appointed deputy United States marshall, with
headquarters at Clarkburg, and held that office for two years, following
which he was elected deputy sheriff of Fairmont, and performed the
duties of this position for two years.
     At the close of his term as deputy sheriff, Mr. Beaty removed to
Morgantown and opened a garage, operating it a year. He sold the
business in  order to return to Fairmont and buy an interest in the
Standard Garage Company, and in 1921 he became president and general
manager of this organization, which furnishes complete and adequate
facilities that are greatly appreciated by all the motor car owners in
Fairmont.
     Mr. Beaty is affiliated with Mannington Lodge No. 388 Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks. He married in 1908 Miss Lottie Deveny, who
was born at Fairmont in 1888, daughter of Thomas A. and Lottie (Burns)
Deveny, of that city. Mr. and Mrs. Beaty have three children: Thomas
Deveny, born in 1910; Carl Elias, Jr. born in 1911; and Robert Newton
Beaty, born in 1915.
