Individual Details

1870 Census gives her place of birth as Virginia.
1900 Census she gives her birth as Sep 1844. Born in West Virginia. Actually she was born in the "western" part of Virginia.

Death Certificate (Information given by Andrew Wood) gives date of birth as October 19, 1861 BUT says she lived 81 years, 9 months, 18 days, which would be 18/19 Sep 1844. That date could very well have been the birth or death of the first child, Charles W. Wood. Also says she was born in Tennessee. A good example of an error on a death certificate!

A picture made in Uniontown, apparently of a Lodge group. was in possession of the Howell family. Letitia is labeled as "Aunt Tishie Wood". Sons Frank and Bob had both married into the Howell family.

In the 1910 Census, Letitia stated she had 11 children, 9 living at that time. Charles and Dora were the children that had died young.


LETITIA ANN WOOD
Letitia Ann Wood was born in the state of Virginia in 1844 and died at Uniontown, Ark., July 7th, 1926. She would have been 82 years old in September. When but six years of age, she moved with her parents to Missouri and after a residence there for about ten years, Mrs. Wood moved with her parents to Arkansas. She was married in the Macedonia community in 1860 to Joseph Christopher Wood who survives her. These pioneers had a married life together of sixty-five years. Sister Wood had been a member of the Christian church for about half a century. she was a member of the Ladies Aid society and did her share of the work of the Society up to within a short time before her death. She was a consistent Christian and greatly enjoyed the work and worship of the church. She was the mother of nine children, seven of whom are living, two having died after they grew up. [There were actually 11 children, two died as children; two died between the 1910 census and 1926.] There is a large number of grandchildren and several great-grandchildren. In spite of Sister Wood being a cripple during the last few years, she was always at church when her health would permit it. Rev. 2:10 was true in her case, "Be thou faithful unto death and I will give unto thee the crown of life" Now, she wears the crown. How much we owe the pioneers who have contributed so much to our world and our happiness. Mrs. Wood wad born a year before the Mexican War and she was a young woman at the outbreak of the civil war; much of the history of this country has been written during her lifetime. Grandma Wood was good, she was kind, she was a true Christian.
The funeral of this good woman was conducted from the Christian church at Uniontown by the writer on Friday, July 9th, after which she was laid away in the family lot at Dripping Springs. Her casket was banked with flowers. Besides the local people, a large number of friends were present from Van Buren.
Oh! call it not death - it is life begun,
For the waters are passed, the home is won;
The ransomed spirit hath reached the shore,
Where they weep and suffer and sin no more.
She is safe in her Father's house above,
In the place prepared by her Savior's love;
To depart from a world of sin and strife,
And to be with Jesus - yes - this is life.
....Rev. G. G. Alexander
