DEATH:
Typed as Written:
DR. FRANK PYOTT, well known Tazewell county physician, died suddenly at
his home at Tip Top Monday evening. He suffered a heart attack early
Monday, and died about 9 o’clock. So far as known he was in good health
up to the time of his death.

Funeral services were conducted at the home of his wife, the Blair
Greever home at Five Oaks, Wednesday afternoon, and burial took place in
Greever Cemetery.

He is survived by his wife, formerly MISS CLARE GREEVER, of Five oaks;
and these children; MRS W. G. MERRITT, of Vienna, Va.; B. B. PYOTT, of
Princeton, MISS HELEN PYOTT , JOHN PYOTT, and  ROBERT PYOTT, of Tip Top.
One brother W.W.  PYOTT , of Maryville, Tenn., also survives.

The deceased was a son of the late W. W. PYOTT, a Methodist minister,
who was once a presiding elder of the Tazewell district.

DR. PYOTT’S passing has occasioned deep regret in Tip Top and Mud Fork
community, where he has practiced medicine for several years. He was
probably the last country doctor who responded to calls from the
mountains and valley on horseback.


(Dr. Francis ‘Frank’ Pyott was certainly a beloved county doctor. The
family of Samuel Henry Shrader and his wife, Ocie Lee Tabor, loved this
man. One of the daughters of Sam & Ocie Shrader, Frances Ocie Shrader
was delivered by Dr. Francis Pyott and Frances Shrader was named in his
honor. My mother, Hettie Marie Shrader-Eagle remembers Dr. Pyott riding
his big beautiful horse to visit his patients).
(Clare Greever Pyott was listed as  St. Clair Pyott in the 1920 Tazewell
