OBITUARY
Walter Scott Pitman, son of John and Margaret E. Pitman, was born in Laurel County, Kentucky, December 1st., 1845 - died at his father's residence in the same county, on Sunday, August 8th., 1875.
For more than twelve months he had been suffering with the consumption, ------- ------- -------* to be fatal in most all cases. Notwithstanding his bodily affliction, he was anxious about the welfare of his soul which he knew must live after the death of the body. He sought Jesus and found in him redemption from sin, he could exclaim -
----- ----- ----- ----- -----*.
With this assurance he gave himself to God, and the church. Early last spring I visited him, and asked if he did not desire his name on the church book; he told me he did; there he was received into the church militant, in which he lived for some time; but now we feel assurance that he is in the church triumphant, for when he came near to the margin of the river of death "he feared no evil."
Just as he was about to cross, he pulled his own and his father's family around him, requested them to meet him in Heaven, and then bid them farewell. He died, as none but a Christian die, thanking God that his time had come, and in full assurance of a glorious immortality beyond the grave.
"Far from this world of toil and strife,
He's present, with the Lord,
The labors of his mortal life
End in a large reward."
Julius E. Wright
