"Grandma Woolverton was born Letitia Elizabeth Goodjoin whose mother was an Aydelette, and she was born in 1835. Her father was said to have come from Ireland as a lad, and her mother claimed Irish parentage. So grandma boasted to be full blood Irish. She was known by her neighbors as Aunt Letty, was of a somewhat choleric temperament, and when her temper was aroused she did not hesitate to let you know how she felt. But she was warm hearted and sympathetic and loved by her neighbors who came to understand her temperamental effusions. She generally said what she thought regardless, spoke it out so that no one could be mistaken about her attitude on any subject, though she had no ill feelings towards others who might differ. She adored and petted us grandchildren, was inclined to spoil us, but we know to obey her charges.
She could read but did not learn to write, especially liked to read her Bible in which she was well versed, and did most of her reading and knitting lying on a pallet by the fireside. She had joined the Methodist church as a girl, but became an ardent Baptist after her marriage. She never used tobacco, in any form, the only one of the my grandparents or parents that did not. Most of her married life was in frail health, the main reason, I was told, that the family moved from the flat lands of a progressive community in Tennessee to the pioneer region of the Ozarks. However, she lived for more than twenty years after her husband died, passing away in 1916 just a short while before her 81st anniversary." [2]
