DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN

On Wednesday of last week there passed away at his home in this city one of 
Newnan's oldest and most respected citizens, Mr. John L. Pitman. He had been 
in poor health for more than a year and for six months before his death was 
confined to his bed most of the time. He suffered from a complication of 
ailments and the event which brought so much sorrow to his loved ones was 
not unexpected.

Mr. Pitman was a veteran of the Civil War, entering the service first as a 
member of the Seventh Georgia regiment. He was severely wounded in the 
Second Manassas fight and came home. When he recovered from the long siege 
of invalidism resulting from his war experience, he re-enlisted as a member 
of the Thirteenth Georgia regiment and continued in the service until the 
close of the hostilities. He was 68 years of age and is survived by his wife 
and seven children, the latter being Mrs. J.L. Hunton of Orange, Calif., 
Mrs. George Hunton of Hillsboro, Texas; Mrs. R.A. Houston of Heard County; 
Mrs. F.J. Amis of Welcome; Mrs. S.W. Woods of Newnan; H.J. Pitman of Coweta 
and G.T. Pitman of Texas. The funeral took place Thursday morning, services 
being conducted by Rev. W.W. Roop of Carrollton. The interment was at Oak 
Hill.
