Following an illness of several months, HOYT A. PITNER, died at his home in 
Royston late Thursday afternoon.  He had previously undergone treatment in 
Atlanta and locally, but to no avail.  

	Funeral services were conducted from Royston Presbyterian Church, of 
which he was a member and Elder, Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock.  Interment 
followed in Rose Hill Cemetery.  Services were conducted by Dr. W. M. Waggett 
and Rev. J. Douglas Gibson with a solo by Rev. Howard Ethington.

	Mr. Pitner was a son of the late Mr. & Mrs. James Albert Pitner of 
Athens and had made his home in Royston a greater portion of the time during 
the past 40 years.  He was prominently connected with a number of the nation's 
leading cotton firms at different times and had operated as a cotton merchant 
for himself throughout Georgia and the Carolinas.  His friends were legion.

	Of an affable and genial nature, interested always in his friends, he 
had endeared himself to young and old alike and his passing brought sorrow to 
hundreds of homes.  No citizen was more devoted to his family.

	Surviving is his wife who, before marriage, was Miss Jonell Baker and 2 
sons, James and Joe Gray Pitner.  He is also survived by an only brother, 
Walter C. Pitner, prominent business man of Athens.  His sisters, Mrs. Henry J. 
Lmaar and Mrs. James D. Stetson, both of Macon, have passed on some years hence.

	Many out of town friends and relatives attended the funeral while 
lovely floral offerings from far and near bore silent testimony to the esteem 
in which he was so generally held.

	Pallbearers were Paul Bryant of Atlanta, J. R. Lindsay and John Dysart 
of Greenville, SC, W. T. Bryan of Jefferson and H. G. Callahan of Athens.

	Cunningham-Pruitte, local undertakers, had charge of arrangements.
