Dear Bruce, I've always assumed that my late father and I were the only "Scott Littletons" in the history of Los Angeles County.... But I guess not. Do you have any further information on these two Littletons? Such as where in the L.A. area they were living at the time of their deaths in 1909, do any of their descendants still live hereabouts, etc.? I'm pretty sure they--or their line--weren't close relatives. My late grandfather, Covington Henry Scott Littleton, was born in Wicomico Co., MD, in 1860 and settled in Pasadena, CA, in 1904, after practicing dentistry in Philadelphia for twenty-five years. But who knows for sure? Thanks for the post. Cheers, Scott C. SCOTT LITTLETON "Any sufficiently evolved Professor of Anthropology technology is indistinguishable Occidental College from magic."
