YOUNGER R. PITTS was born in 1812, and raised in Kentucky.  He united 
with Great Crossing Church, in Scott county, then under the pastoral 
care of Silas M. Noel, in 1833. He was licensed to exercise his gift, in 
July, 1836, and was ordained at Great Crossing, by R. T. Dillard, B. F. 
Kenney, W. G. Craig, J. D. Black, Howard Malcom and J. M. Frost, 
November 17, 1841. He was immediately called to the care of the church 
in which he had been ordained, and served in that capacity four years, 
when he resigned.  What churches he served afterwards does not appear.  
He acted as missionary within the bounds of Elkhorn Association for a 
short time.  About 1860, he moved to Howard county, Missouri.  Here he 
took a more active part in religious affairs than he had done in 
Kentucky, where he had unduly hampered himself with the affairs of this 
life.  He took a especial interest in the eductional institutions of the 
Baptists in his adopted State.  As agent, he raised near $10,000 for Mt. 
Pleasant College.  He was several years a member of the Board of 
Trustees of William Jewell College, and had accepted an agency to raise 
money for the completion of the endowment of that institution, when he 
was called away from his earthly labors, while attending the General 
Association of Missouri Baptists, at Clinton, in 1871.
