Oliver Woolcott Pitts, then 25
years old, arrived in this section
along the Yellow River in 1856 with
his bride, the former Freelove
Chase...
In 1858 the young couple were
joined by Olivers parents Luke
Noble Pitts, his wife Louise and
their three younger sons, Thomas,
John and Luke Jr. A newcomer to
the Pitts clan was Susie, born that
spring to Oliver and his wife. She
was the first white girl born in the
settlement and in later years mar-
ried a Mr. Niles of Adams county.
