Photograph of Lettie Rockett

Lettie Rockett (9 Dec 1897 – 19 Jan 1916) was the youngest child of Joseph Cannon Rockett (14 Nov 1847 – 11 Apr 1929) and Mary Elizabeth Howell (23 Feb 1857 – 13 Mar 1945). In January 1916, Lettie was in her nightgown in front of the fire in her parent's home. A spark caused her nightgown to catch on fire, and she ran. She soon died from the burns, one month and ten days after her eighteenth birthday. Lettie's obituary was published in the Farmerville Gazette.
