Cedartown Standard, December 4, 1902
Polk had another awful tragedy Thursday night. Mr. Jas. M. Pittman, of Berry’s 
was going home with his team, and stopped at Mabry’s coal-pit to warm himself. 
The indications are that he raked out some hot coals, and probably went to 
sleep by the fire. His clothing caught fire, and he was burned to death. His 
remains were found the next morning in a badly charred condition. Coroner J. O. 
Crabb went out and held an inquest Friday, the jury bringing in a verdict of 
accidental death. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. G. B. Boman. Mr. 
Pittman was a clever farmer, well liked by all who knew him, and his tragic 
death is very much regretted by a large circle of friends. (Cedartown Standard, 
December 4, 1902)
