The Georgia Enterprise May 3, 1888
     Mr. Littleton Petty spent Monday morning with friends in town and gave us 
a pleasant call. He was born August 18, 1801, and in consequence has celebrated 
every Christmas in this century. He has been a consistent member of the 
Methodist Church for sixty-seven years and grows stronger in the glorious faith 
of the Christian religion as his foot-steps draw nearer to eternity. A better 
man than this old Father in Israel never lived or died. His cheerful 
conversation and bright face gave us renewed hope and strength and we felt 
better during his stay and after he left than we did before his welcome 
presence brought light and sunshine in our humble sanctum. He is yet hale and 
hearty and enjoys the comforts of a happy home with the devoted companion of 
his young manhood, who is still to him his “pride, his pleasure and the apple 
of his eye.” Love of the Master, home and dear ones can, never become lukewarm 
in the heart of so good and pure a man as Mr. Petty. May his last days be the 
most joyful of his long useful and well spent life.
