Deaths

This is a list of burials of members of Beatty Families in County Down.
There is a Grid Ref. number for each of the records. I have sorted the
records by the Grid Reference number. In several instances the number
is the same for several of the records. This allowed for more than one
gravestone for the family in the plot. I do not know why; but, fpr some
reason all Marriage Allegations are shown as 1660.
I have found all of the Beatty Project Linages that has their oldest
record from County Down. I will send this in a separate email.

THE TRAGIC FATE OF BELFAST BOY.

NEPHEW OF ULSTER M.P.

The fate of a little Belfast boy, John Beattie, Trigo Parade, Castlereagh Road, who fell from the Dublin to Belfast train as it was nearing Bessbrook Viaduct, and was killed, was investigated by Mr. M. O'Connor, Coroner for South Armagh at Newry yesterday.

The father, Mr. James Beattie, mother, and a little sister were travelling in the train to Belfast at the time.

Mr. Beattie is brother of Mr. Jack Beattie, M.P. for West Belfast.

District-Inspector Perrott, Bessbrook, conducted the proceedings, and Mr. F. H. Mullan, solicitor, represented the G.N.R. Company.

Mr. James Beattie said they were in a second class corridor carriage. When leaving Dundalk the boy was running about the corridor, and witness, who was seated in the compartment, could only see him occasionally as he passed the door. Before reaching Bessbrook Station a little boy ran into the compartment and said the child had fallen out of the carriage. Witness ran out at once and found the door of the carriage open and the window down to its fullest extent. He pulled the communication cord several times, and finally the train was brought to a stop after travelling two or three miles. Witness ran back and found his son lying dead between the rails. He carried him back towards Bessbrook Station and he was taken to Daisy Hill Hospital.

Wm. H. Duff, Hollywood Road, Belfast, a passenger, said as he passed into the dining car he saw two children playing at the inside door of the coach. On returning he noticed the exit door of the carriage wide open, and the children had disappeared. He ran to the dining car and told the stewards.
