Wesley J. Pittman entered the Union Army 29 November 1864 and was mustered out 13 July 1865. He died a year later. Having received word of the death of his son, Wesley Pittman wrote his wife 29 March 1865, saying in part: "Dear Wife, I for the first time yesterday heard of the death of my little boy and you may rest assured that it made me feel as I have never felt before. I have seen dead people, Rebels by hundreds, but while they had a share of my sympathy, they had nothing to compare with my dying child and bereaved mother. I received a letter from Wm. Willcoxen that told all about the affair. I sincerely regret the accident which I feel the more keenly on account of not being there to share the grief with my wife, though at so great a distance apart I feel the same sympathy that I would if I had been there. I want you to cheer up and keep in as good spirits as possible. Though I feel the loss of my dear child and will miss him if it please God for me to return. But at the same time, I will feel thankful to meet my wife and the rest of the children. . . . I do not lay any blame to you at all for I have known your carefulness of our children. He [Willcoxen] stated that the neighbors had been good to you, and I thank them for it. If nothing happens, I think I will be home this summer, for I think peace will be made. Keep in good heart and do not grieve for the will of the Lord to be done."
