  Beaty, J. J. was born in the State of Massachusetts, in the year 1856. After receiving a good 
 common school education he learned the carpenter trade. He came to this county in 1856, and resided 
 for one year in Lake City, where he built the first mill. In 1857 he removed to this township, and has 
 since given much of his time to farming. Mr. Beaty enlisted in Co. E., 11th Minn. Inf., in 1864, and 
 served until the close of the war. The people of the county and township have honored him with many 
 positions of trust, all of which he has filled with credit to himself and general satisfaction to the people. 
 He is at present county surveyor, which position he has held for eight years. Mr. Beaty is a member 
 of the State Grange Association, the Masonic lodge of Lake City, and the Good Templars lodge of 
 Oak Centre. Mr. Beaty was married in 1844, to Mary Snondon, to whom were born twelve children,
