Maj Lawrence Samuel Pittman, Jr.

I found a clipping of his obit:

Intellegence was received in the city on yesterday of the death in Charlottesville, of Major Lawrence Pitman, father of Dr. W. E. Pitman, a well-known physician of this city.

Major Pitman died at the residence in Charlottesville of his son-in-law, Mr. Flannagan. He was born at Red Bank , in Shenandoah County, eighty-eight years ago, and spent the greater part of his life in the county of his birth. For many year he had been a member of the Episcopal church.

He is survived by six children, Mrs. Annie E. Mallory of Washington, D.C.; Mrs. R. D. Powers, of Staunton; Miss Susan Pitman, of Charlottesville, Mrs. Florence Gardner, of Tokio, Japan [mother of Helga Houghton Gardiner]; Rev. Frank Pitman, of Poolesville, Md.; and Dr. W. E. Pitman, of Lynchburg.

The funeral services will take place in Charlottesville this afternoon at 3 o'clock.
