                                                                                     Beattie Family

Mailed 1-21-1940 to Mr. Laurence O. Weakley, 517 ½ Francis St. St. Joseph, Mo.
(Please fill out to the best of your ability, and mail to Redmond S  Cole, Box 92, Tulsa, Oklahoma.

What was the full name of your father: Thomas Beattie Weakley
What was the full maiden name of your mother: Virginia O’Neill
Was your mother by any chance a sister of Mr. Beattie: No relation at all

If she was a Beattie (or of the Beattie Family) will you please explain briefly what this relationship was:
None. Her father was Jas ONeill, a [banker?] in Kentucky.
Her Mother Frances ___ also Kentucky.  The family came to St. Joseph Mo. in (I think) 1855 when Mother was a young girl.  She afterward met and married my father here.

Can you by any chance give me the names and addresses of any persons known to have been related to Mr. A. Beattie, who could have been descended from the Beatties, mentioned in my letter. (I mean descendants of Janes Beattie of Boone County)?

No descendants.  R. W. McDonald #824 N 9th St St Joseph, Mo is a son of R. L. McDonald deceased who married a niece of A. Beattie & who was executor of A. Beatties estate.  R. W. McDonald may be able to give you the information you want.  Suggest you write to him.

In your letter you mentioned a Mr. William Beattie, a salesman, who died in St. Joseph.  Can you by any chance give me the name and address of any of his family?

Am under the impression that Wm Beattie was related in some way to A. Beattie but am not certain.  Don’t know address of any of his family.

Was this William Beattie supposed to be related to A. Beattie, and if so how?

What was the full name of A. Beatties wife?
Am not sure but think it was Eliza Snoddy.

L. O. Weakley

Thanks.
