VIRGIE LITTERAL
1850-1929
   
Good Woman Passes Away "Aunt Virgie" Litteral of Oil Springs, Ky.,
Died Saturday a Victim of Influenza Virgie Litteral, age 78 years,
of Oil Springs, Ky., known throughout this section of the state as
"Aunt Virgie," died at her home at that place last Saturday,
January 5, after a brief illness of influenza.
   
Probably no other woman in Johnson County was better known or held
in higher esteem than "Aunt Virgie."  She was the wife of the late
Marion Litteral and during his life the two conducted the Litteral
House at Oil Springs, which was a mecca for weary travelers of
many Eastern Kentucky counties, and was widely known because of
it's hospitality and the loving care bestowed upon the guests by
Mr. Litteral and his good wife.
  
Mr. Litteral preceded his wife in death nearly 10 years ago,
having died November 21, 1919.
   
Mrs. Litteral was born February 4, 1850, and was married to F.
Marion Litteral, January 1, 1872.  She was known far and wide as a
good Christian woman and had been a member of the Methodist Church
at Oil Springs for more than fifty years and was a regular
attendant until a few years ago when she was prevented from
attending regularly because of the infirmities of advanced age.
Two weeks ago she was stricken with influenza and because of her
advanced age could not withstand the ravages of the dreadful
malady and passed on to join the innumerable hosts who have passed
on.
  
"Aunt Virgie" is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Lucy Curnutte of
Dallas, Texas, and Letitia Manning of Morehead, Ky., and a vast
circle of acquaintances who will be genuinely grieved on learning
of the death of this good woman.
  
Mrs. Manning, the youngest member of a family of ten children was
present at the funeral and burial of Mrs. Litteral, which took
place at Oil Springs Monday in the presence of a large number of
sorrowing friends and relatives.
