Was Active in Church Work and Took Aggressive Part in Building of Government Levee. An illness protracted over a period of a year terminated in the death of Mrs. Alice Walton Beatty, wife of James Q. Beatty, at her home on Muscatine Island shortly after 9 o’clock Tuesday evening. She was 64 years old. The death of Mrs. Beatty removed one of the best known figures in Muscatine county, regardless of sex. She played a prominent role in all community projects affecting the island and always evinced a keen interest in the affairs of the city. Through her newspaper articles and magazine contributions she gained more than a local reputation. During the past year Mrs. Beatty’s health began to fail. At one period during the winter she was not expected to survive but rallied and gradually grew stronger until a few weeks ago when it became apparent that there was little hope of her recovery. Her last visit to Muscatine was last month. For about two weeks last fall she underwent treatment in a Moline sanitarium. --- Helped Build Levee --- Probably no woman in Muscatine county played a more prominent part in the ultimate construction of the government levee here than Mrs. Beatty. She was a zealous advocate of protection against floods. Influence wielded by her was a potent factor in securing the levee along the island. A number of years ago when the U. S. levee commission met in St. Louis to consider the local project, she was an official representative of Muscatine. As one of the founders of the Muscatine Island Community club she was among its most active workers. The Methodist Episcopal church on the island had no more enthusiastic worker that Mrs. Beatty. --- Native of Muscatine --- Mrs. Beatty was a native of Muscatine having been born here May 24, 1858. She was a daughter of Mr. And Mrs. J.P. Walton, pioneer settlers of this community. Her early education was received in the public schools of this city, she having been graduated as valedictorian of the class of 1875. Afterwards she attended a summer course at the Iowa State College at Ames. For eight years she was a public school instructor, beginning her teaching activities on the Island Hopewell school house, which since had witnessed many of her philanthropic enterprises. For a period of several years she also taught in the primary department at the Franklin school and the fourth grade I the Washington school, from which she resigned to be married Dec. 20, 1883. --- Funeral to be Friday --- Mr. and Mrs. Beatty went to housekeeping on their farm immediately after their marriage, residing their continuously. Mrs. Beatty had no children of her own but was passionately fond of them, exerting herself to making children of other families happy. When a young girl she united with Trinity Episcopal church but after her marriage became affiliated with the Island Methodist Episcopal church. To survive her she leaves her husband and a sister, Mrs. J.E. Hoopes. A number of nephews and nieces also mourn her demise. The funeral will be held at 2 o’clock Friday afternoon at the Island church. Burial will be made in Greenwood cemetery. The Rev. P.S. Apfel, pastor of the Musserville church, will officiate.
