Ashland Progress
Last Saturday morning Mr. Robert Herman Pittard, 63, went out into the woods not 
far from his home, in the Campbell Crossroads community, in search of some bees. 
When he failed to return at the time he was expected, parties went out to find 
him, and found him dead and lying in the burning woods with his body charred. 
The deceased had, for some time, been conscious of a health affection, and it is 
supposed he suffered a heart attack which caused him to fall into the fire. 
Funeral services were held Sunday, March 1st at 2 P.M. at Campbell Springs 
Church, with Rev. Frank Timberman and Rev. Mansel Carpenter officiating. Blair 
directed and interment was in Campbell Spring cemetery. Mr. Pittard is survived 
by his wife, of Pyriton; one son, Robert Pittard, Ashland; 3 granddaughters and 
one grandson. A brother, J. B. Pittard, Shawmut; two sisters, Mrs. Arthur 
Caldwell, Cragford; Mrs. Norma Littleton, Opelika. Pallbearers were Carl Finch, 
Byron Finch, Homer Patterson, Travis Patterson, Charlie Campbell and Otho 
Atkinson.
