Little in Cook County, that state, May 4, 1873, moving to the Indian Trritory in the fall 1884. She professed a hope in Christ in August, 1873. and joined the Baptist church, since which time she has been a consistent Christian. She was the mother of ten children, three of whom died in infancy. Seven are still living, all married except two boys and one girl.

Fueral services were conducted at the grave by Revs. J.J. Ward and J.L.H. Hawkins Sunday evening, and the body was laid to rest in the Passmore grave yard near Velma. The Banner joins in expressions of sincere sympathy to the bereaved family.
