George W. Littlefield is the son of Andrew J. and Betsy Littlefield, his birth
occurring in Gibson County, Tenn., in 1844. His boyhood years were passed in
Panola County, Miss., and in 1861 he came to St. Francis County, and purchased a
farm of 120 acres, fifty acres of which are in a good state of cultivation. He
is also engaged in raising stock, and at this occupation has been quite
successful. Mr. Littlefield enlisted in 1861, in Company C, Twenty-third
Arkansas Regiment, participating in the battles of Corinth, Iuka, Ripley and
Port Hudson, La., and served until the final surrender. He was married in 1866,
to Miss Druecillar Halbert, and by her is the father of three children: John,
Maggie and George. In his political views he is a Democrat, and socially is
identified with the Knights of Honor. Mr. and Mrs. Littlefield are members of
the Baptist Church, and while not wealthy in the possession of this world's
goods, they have that which is more to be desired-an unsullied name, and the
love of a host of friends.
