Letitia married young at age 15 and then stayed in Crawford County the rest of her life while the rest of the family headed for Franklin/Logan County.
Obituary by Rev. G. G. Alexander [the number of children she had is inaccurate here]:
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 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.
