He attended the rural schools near his home and later attended Cornell college at Mt. Vernon. He then went to the University of Wisconsin where he graduated from the agricultural department with honors. He was also one of the leaders in the life of college and was a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity. Recently he had been given complete control of the Letts farm by his father and was making a gratifying success in looking after the various interest of the large farm under his control. He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Letts and by two sisters, Mrs. E.C. Turkington, of Loveland, Colorado and Miss Adelis, at home.
