In Memory o! Dr. Arthur
Cuy Beazley, M. D.
Tim subject of this sketch was born in
Spotteylvanta County Virginia, on the
day of--, he being the third son
born to his parents, Charles Beazlev and
his wife, nee, Miss Stuart, and with them
emigrated from the “Old Dominion” to
Georgia about the year 1858. Ills parents
were strongly mm ki d people and came
of a line which never fails to make its
mark for good wherever they may fettle,
as representatives of those sturdy virtues
which dignify and adorn human nature in
its mundane estaC , v The Doctor was
placed, and kept at the best rural
schools of the day in his youth to prepare,
him for rounding up bis education for
future usefulness, and distinction, at the
University of Virginia, from which insti¬
tution he was graduated with distinction
in Literature and Medicine in the year
1800. Thence returning to the home of
his Parents in Georgia to take up bis fu¬
ture life business—the practice of medi¬
cine. The war between the states almost
simultaneously breaking out, with great
fierceness, and bitterness botween the
sections, and the great system of free
government by l ©presentation being in
great danger of final obliteration from
the earth.
Young Beazley hastened to enter the
Military service of the Confederate
(states, which “Jupiter like, springing
from (lie Brain of Minerva, canto forth
a mighty giant, full panoplied f«r war,”
to submit to the baptismal rile of blood at.
birth. He was soo’spromoted from the
Rattles to the reiy honorable position of
Surgeon, and assigned duty at one of the
many Richmond Hospitals to attend the
sick, the dying and Wounded soldiers of
the Patriot Army, then being assembled
and mobilized on \ n ;iuia soil, at tlmt

In this service of big chosen government

Like that great son of Rome, whose ccn
