Obtained by Cathy Joynt Labath from "The Fairfield Tribune, Fairfield, Thursday, March 31, 1881, "ROUND PRAIRIE".

Mrs. Litton, familiarly known as Aunt Malinda, a friend to all who knew her, departed this life Sunday morning, March 20th, in the eighty-seventh year of her age. Deceased was a native of Virginia, from which state her parents moved while she was yet young to Kentucky. From there she went to live in Illinois with her husband, Mr. Workman, where she became a widow, and married Mr. Burton Litton, Sr., a few years after which they settled in this county, which was in 1845. She leaves a large circle of friends, as she had an extensive acquaintance through the country and was highly esteemed by all. Her demise was not unlooked for. She had been failing for some months and the final had been anticipated.
