About Letitia Melton

The 1900 US census for Grayson County, Texas, as well as Scotland birth information, shows Letitia's birth year as 1861, which would indicate that she was age 48 at the time of her death, rather than 54 as is listed on her death certificate.

Letitia's cause of death is listed as Organic Chorea (Huntington's disease). There is no cure, and it is hereditary. Some of Letitia's children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren also died of this disease.* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: Jan 18 2023, 21:40:44 UTC
