BEATTIE Major Matthew Beattie died suddenly at his home at Campbellville last Monday. He was taken ill on Sunday with a stomach derangement which did not seem serious, but on Monday he succumbed to heart failure. Major Beattie's age was 49. He was born in Scotland and was the second son of the late John Beattie, of Crawston, Dunscorse, Dumfrieshire. While an apprentice in the hardware business he joined the Maxwellton volunteers, in which he got his first military training. He removed to Glasgow, where he served in one of the crack regiments of that city. He came to Canada in 1882 and soon joined the militia here as a subaltern in the 20th Halton Rifles. After qualifying in the School of Infantry, Toronto, he was promoted to the captaincy of No. 4 Co., Campbellville, which he commanded until in 1904, after qualifying at London, he was promoted to the rank of major. Had he lived about a year longer he would have become commanding officer of his corps. He was an efficient and proper officer. On his arrival at Campbellville he went into the mercantile business, in which he continued until a few years ago, when Messrs. Mahon Bros. succeeded him. Latterly he has been clerk of the township of Nassagaweya, postmaster of Campbellville and a grain buyer. He was a prominent Liberal and an ex-president of the Halton Reform Association. He left a widow and one son. The funeral will take place to-day and Major Beattie's remains will be buried with military and Masonic honors. He was a member of the St. Clair Lodge, No. 135, G.R.C., Milton. Obituary from the Canadian Champion (Milton, Trafalgar Township, Halton County, Ontario, Canada) on Thursday, October 19, 1911, p. 3, column 5: Campbellville The remains of Major Matthew Beattie were buried in the new Campbellville cemetery on Thursday afternoon, and the funeral was one of the largest in the history of the county, showing the great popularity of the deceased. Rev. A. Blair, of St. David's Church, conducted the church services at the home and at the grave. About forty Masons of St. Clair Lodge, Milton, Walker Lodge, Acton, and Credit Lodge, Georgetown, were in the procession. W. Bro. S. R. Bews, of the St. Clair Lodge, of which Major Beattie was a member, conducted the Masonic ritual. The pallbearers were Bros. F. F. Sayers, Robt. Menzies, Dr. McTaggert, Duncan Campbell, J. C. Blacklock and A. McPhederan. There was a large attendance of the officers of the 20th Lorne Rifles, with an escort of about twenty men, commanded by Major A. Noble. Arms were reversed, but no volleys fired. The regimental band played the "Dead March in Saul" and other appropriate music. Major Beattie's horse, saddled and bridled, was led in the procession. At the close a bugler sounded the "last post."
