- The Daily Advertiser (Lafayette, LA), Sunday, 12 December 1982: (photo) Ulinor Pitt - Ulinor Pitt is 95 years old today: Today marks the 95th birthday of Ulinor Pitt of Scott. While Pitt will celebrate his birthday as any other Sunday, attending mass and playing boure, in the afternoon five generations of his family will gather at the home of a granddaughter to celebrate the occasion as well as the December birthdays of other family members. Son of John and Cecilia Melancon Pitt, Pitt was born Dec. 12, 1887, three months after the death of his father. His grandparents include Rufin and Angela LeJeune Pitt, and Desire and Colastie Semere Melancon. He was baptized at the age of two months, with Anatole Pitt and Laura Melancon serving as godparents. He was married in 1908 to the late Louisianaise Domingue, and the marriage produced seven sons: Benoit, Camille, Paul, Johnny, Julien U.S., Ulinor Jr. and Anthony. The Scott homestead was originally share-cropped by Pitt and his family. The home was located across the canal and was hauled on logs dragged by horses with the family living in the house during the full week it took to transport. Pitt's living descendants include four of the children, 10 grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren. Pitt, saying his fondest desire is to "be able to work," cites the modern-day highway system as the one thing he never expected to see in his lifetime. He says that the longest distance he has ever traveled was during World War II to Fort Sam Houston to visit his son. Pitt, in his 95 years in Acadiana, has seen many changes. He recalls traveling to the Four Corners in Lafayette to see the gravel unloaded for the new road; a neighbor playing the phonograph in his buggy on the way to town; the acquisition of the first truck in the area; and neighbors gathering at the Pitt home to listen to his first radio.
