Eugene Hajduk > ______________________________ Mrs. Litton 78 Dies at Merrimac Mrs. Margaret Litton, 78, of Merrimac, died Tuesday at 3:00pm in her home. She is the wife of the late James Litton. Mrs. Litton was born in Martin County, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Muncey. She was a member of the Freewill Baptist Church. Survivors include one daughter, Mrs. Clara Risk of Merrimac. and two sons, Dan Litton of Ball Grant, GA and James Litton of Merrimac. Funeral Services were conducted at the home at 2:30 PM with Hence Allen and Cleve Russell officiating. Burial followed at the Phillips Cemetery in Merrimac. I am assuming that since this was in my mothers' scrapbook it is a relation to her. It is said that Ethel died while Mom was a "babe in arms" of TB. Does this ring any bells with you are anyone?
