Obituary:         Cloe Anna Lane Beatty
Newspaper:        Springs Valley Herald
Publication Date: Wednesday November 11, 1992


     We come today to honor and respect CLOE ANNA (LANE) BEATTY, who has
   lived and served through most of a century.  She was born the eighth
   of ten children on November 9, 1895 in the home of THOMAS and RACHEL
   (HOBSON) LANE.  The parents and her brothers WILLIE, CLAUDE, SAMPSON
   and NOBLE, and her sisters Lucy Rogers, MAUDE BEATTY, PEARLE BRINER,
   GRACE BURCH, and RUTH STURM preceded her in death.

     With the passing of AUNT CLOE we can say with the poet HOLMES,

     And if I should live to be
     The last leaf on the tree
     In the spring let them smile
     As I do now
     At the old forsake bough
     Where I cling

     And so her life has been a mosaic of joy and sadness and her relatives
   and friends have been shining jewels along the way.

     On September 30, 1918, she was married to WILLIAM HARRISON BEATTY and
   this union was blessed with the birth on one son, WILLIAM HARRISON
   BEATTY, JR.  Her life was also enriched by the birth of three
   grandchildren, WILLIAM H. BEATTY III, CHARLES T. BEATTY, and ANNA
  (BEATTY) SHEARER, as well as one great-granddaughter, EMILY SHEARER.

     Her husband passed away in 1956, her son in 1986, and her oldest
   grandson in 1987.

     Having been reared in a Christian home, she joined the South Liberty
   Church of Christ at an early age.  In December 1918 she transferred her
   membership to the First Christian Church of French Lick.  She continued
   to be active in the community as long as health permitted.  She was a
   member of the French Lick Literary Club, a charter member of A.C.
   Chapter PEO Sisterhood, the Loyal Workers class of Beechwood Christian
   Church, and the  Melton Public Library Board.

     As the years passed, it became necessary for AUNT CLOE to move to the
   Kennedy Living Center in Martinsville, Indiana.

     On October 28, she just went to sleep, for she had lived almost a
   century.

     Survivors include her daughter-in-law, two grandchildren, one great-
   granddaughter, and several nieces and nephews.

     Years are fleeting and a brief history of a great life is so soon
   written on paper, but the inspiration and example of the life of CLOE
   ANNA BEATTY will last throughout Eternity and the world is a better
   place because she lived, worked, loved, and now is at peace.
