J. J. LITTLE, proprietor of one of the most elegant dry goods stores in
Como, Texas, was born in Harrison county of this state, January 15, 1870
- on a farm. His father, R. C. Little, was born in Harris County,
Georgia; came to Texas when he was seventeen years old, was a strict
member of the Baptist church and died in Cass county in 1892. His mother
before marriage was Miss Roena Flint, native of Harrison County, Texas,
and is still living at the old home place in Cass county. To this twain
were born five sons and five daughters - three sons and two daughters
living. His parents moved from Harrison to Cass county in 1875. He
continued to farm to the age of twenty-two, when he accepted a position
as a mercantile salesman at Hughes Spring, Cass county, and later entered
business on his own account at Cash, Hunt county, in 1901. In 1906 he
transferred his operations to Como, in Hopkins county. Mr. Little was
married to Miss Clyde Allen, of Morris county, May 20, 1894, and one
daughter and four sons contribute to the sunshine of their comfortable
and self-owned home. Mr. and Mrs. Little are both active workers in the
M. E. Church, of which Mr. Little is superintendent of Sunday school and
is a member of the Board of Stewards. Mr. Little has one of the most
prominent business brick structures in Como. (Edited)
