Many Attend Services at Macland on Sunday in Honor of First Cobb County Boy To Die in France. Last Sunday morning at eleven o'clock, hundreds of Cobb county citizens gathered at the Methodist church at Macland to attend the memorial services I honor of Daniel Weyman Pittman, the first Cobb county boy to be killed in action in France.
The little church was filled to overflowing when Rev. Frank Jenkins, the pastor, began his memorial address, which pulsated the sympathy for the bereaved and loyal friends to our government in this crisis. Mr. Watson of Dallas, rendered some special music for the occasion. Daniel Weyman Pittman was the son of Isaac M. Pittman, one of the best known citizens of that community. Young Pittman was a graduate of the Seventh District A and M College of Macland, and had many friends throughout that section of the county.
