The Casey County News,1953
CASEY'S OLDEST CITIZEN SAMUEL PITMAN SUCCUMBS
Samuel Pitman, 106 years of age, died at the home of his son Bill, at Short 
Town between Middleburg and Highway 35 on Monday aftrnoon at 1:00 o'clock.  
His birthdate was not exactly known, but he claimed to be 106 years old.  
There were no records to dispute this.  He was the son of John and Fannie 
Pitman.  He is survived by six children, all of which live in the county. The 
sons are Bill, Arch and Lee. The daughters are Mrs. Silva Godbey, Mrs. Lilly 
Austin and Mrs. Nora Foley.  Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 
2 o'clock at the Poplar Hill Church.  The Rev. Ray Robinson officiated. Miller 
Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements.

Additional Comments:
This is my great grandfather. He is buried in Poplar Hill Cemetery with my 
great grandmother Mary Isabelle "Belle" Turpin. My grandparents are also 
buried there, John William "Willie" and Nancy "Nannie" Snow.  On his stone it 
has birthdate of 1862,so the mystery remains, 91 or 106 years?
