Mrs. George A. PHtnnn.
The subject of this sketch was
born near Halifax, January 9, 1842,
and so was nearing her seventy-second
year when she died Sunday
night, September 28, 1913, at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. C. L.
Allsbrook.
Before her marriage to Mr. Geo.
A -Pittman nearly fifty years ago,
she was Miss Annie Priscilla Bur
gess, daughter of Wm. and Mary
Burgess.
She had one sister and one brother,
Mr. T. C. Burgess of Rocky Mount.
The sister, a twin sister, preceded
her to the better land.
In her girlhood days she heard the
call of God and gave herself to Him,
and in a quiet and unassuming way
she . tried to serve Him. For more
than fifty years she was a member
of the Methodist church.
Mrs. Pittman was the true and de
voted mother of nine children, seven
of whom lived to manhood nd wo
manhood. Six of these are now liv
ing viz. R. W. Pittman, G. A. Pitt
man and Mrs. C. M. Pemberton of
Rocky Mount, Mrs. C. L. Allsbrook
of Scotland Neck, and Mrs. J. R.
Burt and Horace M. Pittman, who
live near Halifax. Mrs. W. E.
Bishop another daughter died a few
years ago.
Since her husband's death, sev
eral years ago in Scotland Neck, she
has made her home with her young
est son, Mr. Horace M. Pittman, at
her old home place near Halifax.
For many years she has been in
declining health but was a patient
sufferer through all her illness.
She realized that the end was
near and told her loved ones that
all was well and that she did not
fear to go and so Sunday night she
fell asleep to wake on the other sidf,
free from weakness and suffering.
Her remains were carried to
Whitakers Chapel, her old home
church, and there in the presence of
her brother, all her children, other
loved ones and friends she was
buried by. the side of her husband.
May God's rich and comforting
grace sustain and strengthen all the
sorrowing ones and keep them to
the end.
Cheap Paint.
TJiere are 1000 "cheap" paints and
a dozen really cheap ones.
That double word "cheap" is the
cause of wasting more than good
paint costs, two or three times over.
Cheap paint is good paint; there is
no other; no other is cheap.
The two words sound alike but
there meanings are opposite.
"Cheap" costs double. Chcjap is
Devoe.
