Funeral took place at the Boynton chapel Sunday afternoon for Samuel Pitt, 75, 
retired Orleans township farmer, who died Friday morning of influenza at the 
home of Mrs. Harry Mills, his daughter, in Harvey, a suburb of Chicago.  He 
had been living with her the past two years.  The services were conducted by 
Rev. W. F. Kendrick.  Burial was in the Orleans cemetery.

Mr. Pitts served as truant officer in the Ionia county rural school system at 
one time, and later in the same capacity in the city schools here.  Born 
November 21, 1885, in Orleans township, he resided there until his retirement 
from farming in 1920.  At that time he moved to 223 East Washington street, 
Mrs. Pitt died there March 1, 1927, and shortly afterward, Mr. Pitt broke up 
his home to make his residence with his daughter near Chicago.  He had visited 
Ionia frequently during the years in between.

Surviving is the daughter, Mrs. Mills; a brother, Frederick Pitt, at Orleans; 
and three nephews, Frederick Alderman, of Georgia; Abe Alderman of Washington, 
D.D., and Norman Pitt, of Cleveland, O.
