The Georgia Enterprise, January 17, 1873
DEATHS
     Died, on the night of January 11th, at his residence in Newborn, Newton 
County, Ga., COL. JOHN W. PITTS, aged 69 years. The immediate cause of his 
death is supposed to have been an attack of Cramp Colic, to which he had long 
been subject. At 1 o’clock he waked his wife, who expressed great alarm at his 
complaints, to which he replied that they might well be alarmed. She went to 
the mantle-piece for medicine, and on returning, she found him dead. Col. PITTS 
had long been connected with the Methodist Church, and stood high in the 
estimation of the community, who sympathize deeply with his family in this 
sudden bereavement.
