Livia Driver

Letitia Driver (d 1942) is the mother of Cincinnatus Driver. She and her husband, Seneca, were lifelong residents of Covington, Kentucky, where they'd been born slaves. They refused to relocate to Des Moines, Iowa with Cincinnatus's family when Kentucky was readmitted to the United States following the Great War.

In the late 1920s, Letitia began to exhibit signs of dementia. By 1940 she was suffering from full-blown Alzheimer's Disease. Cincinnatus returned to Covington to visit her twice in this period. On the first visit, he was arrested by Luther Bliss. On the second visit, following the reelection of President Al Smith and the imminent return of Kentucky to the Freedom Party-controlled Confederate States, Cincinnatus was hit by a truck. He and his parents were unable to leave Kentucky until after the Confederates had occupied the state.

Letitia died of her Alzheimer's in 1942.
