Pittman and Mrs. Rozella Hammond Pittman of Wisharts Township. She was a member of the East Lumberton Baptist Church and the Woman's Missionary Society, and was a regular attendent at all services, until she was confined to her home by her last illness. She possessed a quiet, unassuming disposition and a sense of humor, was gentle and patient in her manner. Her Christian influence was felt and she was greatly beloved by those who knew her.
