Clyde S. Pittman, brother of Augustus W. Pittman, was born in 1874 to John A. Pittman and Olive Elizabeth "Bettie" Ward. In 1901/02 Clyde Pittman married Callie L. Bloodgood (1882-) daughter of Mart Edward Bloodgood and Clara Moore.



In 1900, Clyde Pittman was a salesman still living at home with his parents and three siblings. By 1910, Pittman was still a salesman, but living in his Elm Street house (then noted as 3rd St.). He and Callie had two children: Olive Elizabeth 8 and one-year-old Clara L. Pittman.

Clyde Pittman was a retail merchant by 1920, living on Main Street next to his brother Fred Pittman. In the household at that time were sister-in-law Janie B. Smith, nephew Edward Smith and father-in-law Mart E. Bloodgood. His mother Olive was living next door with his brother.

By 1930, Pittman had become justice of the peace. At that time, he and Callie had four boarders--all teachers. Pittman later became mayor of Swansboro.
