PITTMAN, William C. - It is deep regret that we announce the death of William Pittman, son of Capt. S.P. Pittman, which sad event occurred in this city on Monday evening last after weeks of suffering with that terrible disease, typhoid fever. The deceased was just entering manhood, an intel- ligent and promising young man and his death is a serious loss. Capt. Pittman, wife and little daughter have the sympathy of the entire community their sad affliction. [Fayetteville Democrat 7/21/77] Died at Fayetteville, Washington county, Arkansas on July 16th, 1877 of Typhoid fever, William C. Pittman, nineteen years of age, only son of our most estimable friends, Capt. S.P. Pittman and Sarah D. Boone Pittman. A few months ago Mr. Pittman moved his family to Fayetteville in order to educate his two children, little dreaming that one of them would be taken from him so soon; and little did that loving mother think, when she left the dear old home near Prairie Grove, with heart overflowing with joy and anticipations of a bright future for her promising son and daughter, that in a few short weeks she would see her darling Willie prostrate with sickness and sufferings and that after days of weary watching and suspense, she would be called upon to give him up. Mrs. Garrison, Prairie Grove, July 25th, 1877. Sentinel please copy. [Fayetteville Democrat 8/4/77] A tribute of respect fromhkansas Industrial University for Willie Pittman was signed L.
