From Nevada Representative February 6, 1878

On Friday last Mrs. Letson of this place, received a telegram from Kenton, Ohio, announcing that Judge Hugh Letson of that place, had died of heart disease about 12 o'clock of that day.

Judge Letson was a brother of Mr. Bemper Letson, late of Nevada, and was at the time of his death upwards of sixty years of age, and although his long life was crowded with active duties and largely occupied with the responsible control of important public affairs, he did not fail in what he owed to himself and to his fellow-man, and who has left on his record, nothing that those who love him best, and who grieve for him most, would wish to efface.
