Mrs. G.M. Pittard Dies Here Saturday

Funeral Services for Beloved Winterville Woman to Be Held Today

   Mrs. Georgia McMillan Pittard, 65, Winterville, widow of the late John T. 
Pittard, died in a local hospital Saturday morning at 9:40 o’clock after an 
illness of several weeks.
   Funeral services for the beloved Winterville citizen will be held this 
afternoon at Winterville Methodist church at 5 o’clock.  The services will be 
conducted by Rev. R.W. Green, pastor of the church, assisted by Rev. W.M. 
Coile, pastor of Winterville Baptist church, and Dr. E.L. Hill, pastor of First 
Presbyterian church of Athens.
   Pallbearers will be Erwin Wilson, jr., Will L. Erwin, G.R. Edwards,
J.S. Coile, C.S. Coile, and Dr. S.J. Ware.  Interment will be in
Winterville cemetery.  Bernstein Funeral home in charge.
   Surviving Mrs. Pittard are five daughters, Miss Lois Pittard, Mrs. W.R. 
Coile, both of Winterville; Mrs. H.S. Baggs, Greenville, N.C.; Mrs. A. Taurman, 
Birmingham, Ala; Miss Rena Pittard, West Palm Beach, Fla.; four sons, H.F. 
Pittard, Thomasville, Ga.; C.W. Pittard, Fort Valley, Ga.; G.C. Pittard, 
Winterville and Dr. L.Y. Pittard, Monticello, Ga.; six brothers, Robert 
McMillan, Clarkesville, Ga.; J.R. Wilson, Garnet McMillan and Harvey Wilson, 
all of Chattanooga, Tenn.; A.E. Wilson, Atlanta, and Frank Wilson, Duluth, Minn.
   Born in Clarkesville, Ga., Mrs. Pittard had been a resident of
Winterville for the past thirty-four years.  The Presbyterian
denomination, to which faith she subscribed has no church in
Winterville, and so, for many years Mrs. Pittard was active in the work
of the Methodist church.  For some years she san in the choir and until
recently when her health became impaired, she was very active in
missionary circles.
   One of her outstanding characteristics was her thoughtfulness and
consideration.  Especially so was this in cases of sickness.  Many and
many is the sickroom to which she brought comfort and hope, material
benefits and cheerful optimism and there are scores today who feel
their best friend has left them.
   Before her health began to fail, she was very prominent in all
movements to better her town and community.  She was active in all
lines of civic endeavor and played a prominent role in the social life
of Winterville and Athens.  There has hardly been a more respected,
more beloved couple in Clarke county than she and her late husband,
J.T. Pittard and in her passing the county loses on if its most valued
citizens, as was the case when her husband preceded her in death.
   Hundreds of friends throughout this section are extending their
sincerest sympathy to the bereaved family in the hour of their great
loss
