David J. Pitman
.
David J. Pitman -was born on April
4th 1S52, at Corydon, Indiana, and
remained there until he was near
thirty years of age, and there in the
public schools received an education
which has stood him in good stead
during his life, and was made most
thorough, by his application to his
studies and the unstinted work
which he applied to the study during
the years he was getting his educa
tion. When but slightly over twenty on
October 10th 1S73, he was married
to Miss Harriet Mock, they remained
Corydon until 1S82, when they mov-
I ed to what was known as Mt. Plea
' sant where there was a postoffice
; seme six milea southwest of the
place where Murray now stands.
At the time the railroad was put
through from Union to Lincoin this
postoffice was taken to Nehawkr..
and another one established at the
home of Wm. Laughridge, where he
had a blacksmith shop, where the
Murray bathing beach now is located.
In 188 7 Mr. Pitman and family re
moved to the farm which he now
owns, a half mile south ef Murray.
He saw Murray grow and develope,
and with his neighbor. J. A. Walker,
established an elevator, when the
Missouri Pacific was constructed
from Union to Omaha. This they
conducted for some thirteen years
and sold to A. B. Wilson, and Mr.
Pitman has been the manager ever
tdnce. The town of Murray received
its name rfom a minister who preach
ed in the building where Mr. and
Mds. R. R. Xickles now live, and
whose name was Rev. G. R, Murray.
Mr. Pitman who had been farming
i manv vears came to Murray to live
in 1910, but had been engaged in
the grain business for a number of
years before. The union of Mr. and
Mrs. Pitman was blessed with four
children, they being. Mrs. Glen Perry
of Mynard, Mrs. O. A. Davis, of Mur
ray, S. O. Pitman of Los Angeles, and
J. V. Pitman of Murray.
Mr. Pitman at the age of fifteen
years united with the church and
has been a consistant member all
his life, and has been a man whom
all have respected and honored. He
became a member of the Masonic
Order in 1S75.
During his life he has alwaj-s
been honored as a hundred per cent
American citizen and always a loyal
democrat, believing the principal,
that in the citizen lays the true
foundation of govcrment.
