HON. GEORGE W. III. PITMAN.
Today New Hampshire weeps over the
death of one of her distinguished sons the
late Judge George W. NJ. Pitman who
was born in Bartlett, N. H., eighty years
ago during the time cur land WAS ruled
meath the civil scep,res of Calhoun, Clay
and Webster. He received his education
in the local schools and at Fryeburg
Academy.
Judge PitInan taught school five years
and then became surveyor and grew to
be an expert in that profession. He COM
menced the study of law and was admit.
ted to the bar in 1866, and has been q
prominent member of the, Carroll Co.
Bar ever since. from 1850 to 1858 he
WAS engaged in mercantile pursuits.
In politics he was a Democrat, and
even adhered to the principles of that
party, and has held positions of honor in
his native town.
In 1874 he was mnde Judge of Probate,
and conferred credit upon the ermine. He
was elected to the Legislature in 1858, and
served twelve terms and then appeared in
the Senate from ls70-7l-7a and was presi
dent of that body in 1871. During his
occupancy of public and political trust he
fought all combinations that served to
enrich thu few 10 the disadvantage of the
many.
Three generations of his family ha We
served in the State Senate of New Hamp-
shire, first the Judge, his father Joseph.
and the last Hon. Lycurf us Pitman of
North Conway, N. H. In the presidential
campaign of 1896, Judge Pitman stood
firmly upon the Chicago platform. and
worked with great zeal for the election of
Bryan and Sewa1l. s.@
Judge PitInan like his fellow Judge
Holmes of Boston, was student in the
field of literature Pope was his favorite
in English versa, and among the English
statesmen of the past Fox, Tennyson and
Gladstone were his ideals.
AS debater in town, county, or State
assemblies, he was courteous and respect
full to his opponents and won the admi-
ration of those even that were arrayed
against him.
His life work should be an example for
the coming generation of young men OF
the nation.
