"The Roanoke Leader" -- Roanoke, Randolph Co., Alabama

NEWSPAPER Issue of Wednesday, May 6, 1925

MRS. M.P. PITTMAN DIED SUDDENLY ON THURSDAY

Mrs. Martin P. Pittman died shortly after midnight last Thursday morning at 
her home two miles north of town. She suffered an attack of heart trouble 
the day before but her death came unexpectedly. Her husband the late Hon. 
M.P. Pittman, one of the most honored citizens of the county in his day, 
died just one year and two weeks before. Mrs. Laura Stephens, the only 
surviving member of the family had been making her home with the mother 
since the death of the husband and father and made the former's last days as 
comfortable as possible. But it was the oft expressed wish of Mrs. Pittman 
that she might be called to the other home to join the husband to whom she 
was devoted through the long years of their married life. Mrs. Pittman 
lacked only a few days of being 81 years of age. She was a charter member of 
the Lebanon Christian church, which was organized before the Civil War. 
Funeral services were held there Friday afternoon, conducted by Elders O.A. 
Moore and A.P. Hodges, in the presence of a large company of friends and 
neighbors.
