BURRELL KEMP LITTLEPAGE, son of the late Judge Samuel
D. Littlepage, whose record precedes this, has taken up the
same profession that his father followed, and has an ex-
tensive practice at Charleston.

He was born in Charleston, West Virginia, June 28, 1888,
was educated in the Charleston public schools and in St.
John's Manlius Military Institute at Syracuse, New York.
He studied law in the University of West Virginia, receiv-
ing the LL. B. degree in 1911 and his literary degree in
1910. He was admitted to the bar and began practice in
Charleston in 1910, entering practice as a member of the
firm Littlepage and Littlepage, the other member being the
late Judge Samuel D. Littlepage.

He served as member of the City Council from 1914 to
1916. In 1916 he received the democratic nomination for
prosecuting attorney of Kanawha County, and in spite of
the fact that the county gave a large normal republican
majority he was elected. He served four years, beginning
January 1, 1917. He was the youngest prosecuting attorney
the county ever had. He administered the office with the
heaviest normal routine of duties in the state, and also with
the increased burdens imposed by the war period as U. S.
Government appeal agent for three boards in the county.
Since retiring from office he has been engaged in general
practice as a member of the firm Byrne, Littlepage & Linn
at Charleston. The thoroughness and efficiency of his work
as a lawyer and his fidelity to the interest of his clients
have won for him an exceptionally large and valuable
practice.

Mr. Littlepage married Miss Madge K. Robins, of Charles-
ton, daughter of Dr. J. E. Robins, one of the eminent busi-
ness men of that city. Mr. and Mrs. Littlepage and their
children reside in "Greystone," the old stone mansion in the
suburbs of Charleston which has been the home of the
Littlepage family for four generations.
