WILLIAM GUY PITTMAN, M. D.
    Dr. William Guy Pittman, a physician of Pine Bluff, who is specializing in
X-ray and laboratory work, is a native son of Arkansas, his birth having
occurred in Sparkman in 1881, his parents being J. T. and Elizabeth (Williams)
Pittman, who carefully directed the education of their son that he might have
the opportunities for steady advancement in his chosen field of labor. He
completed his more specifically literary training in the University of Arkansas
and afterward entered the medical department of the University of Arkansas, and
finally graduated from the University of Louisville in 1909, and the Illinois
Medical College. He thus came under the instruction of some of the eminent
medical educators of the country and in 1909 he opened an office in Grapevine,
Arkansas, where he continued in practice until 1913. In that year he returned to
his native city, where he practiced for a time and then removed to Little Rock,
there specializing in X-ray and laboratory diagnosis. On leaving the capital
city he came to Pine Bluff, in 1915, and now has a well equipped laboratory in
the Citizens Bank building, continuing, as he did in Little Rock, in X-ray and
laboratory work. His practice of this character is now extensive and important
and he occupies a prominent position in professional circles.

    In 1910 Dr. Pittman was united in marriage to Miss Myrtle Ross of Brooks.
Arkansas. a daughter of J. R. and Lavinia (Shell) Ross. Their children are:
Hubert and Madero. The religious faith of the family is that of the Baptist
church, to the support of which they make generous contribution, while in the
work of the church they are helpfully interested. Dr. Pitman served on the
exemption board during the World war and he always stands for progressiveness in
citizenship but has comparatively little time for work outside of the strict
path of his profession, which is constantly making greater demands upon his time
and energies.
