Biography:
THOMAS B. LITTLE, a farmer and stock raiser of Seymour township, who is carrying on operations on section 27, was born in Western Canada, February 27, 1853, a son of Thomas and Rebecca (Biefield) Little. Thomas Little was born in Ireland, from whence he came to America and located in Canada, where he was engaged in agricultural pursuits. He brought his family to Black Creek township, Outagamie county, Wisconsin, in the early days when the town site was a vast, tangled brush, and located on 240 acres of land, on which, however, he remained but a short time, moving to an eighty-acre tract in Grand Chute township. He remained at this place for four years, and then spent a few months in Central Iowa, but returned to Wisconsin and located on a farm in Winnebago county, eventually returning to Black Creek township, where for one year he operated an eighty-acre farm near the village. He then went to another farm of eighty acres nearby, but after four or five years sold out and took up a quarter section in another part of Black Creek township, on which he carried on operations for seven or eight years, then settling on a ten-acre tract near the village, where he continued to farm for five years. Finally he moved into the village, and there he spent the remaining years of his life, his death occurring in 1906, when he was eighty-seven years old. His first wife had died thirty-five years previous to this time and he had married again, but all of his children were by the first union, and were as follows: John, Thomas B., William, Robert and Moses, born in Canada, and Richard, Albert, Margaret and Rebecca, born in the United States.
Thomas B. Little received his early education in the schools of Canada and remained at home with his parents until he had reached the age of twenty-four years, when he began farming on a tract of forty acres in Clayton township. After four or five years he moved to Black Creek township, Outagamie county, where he farmed for three or four years on an eighty-acre farm, and at the end of that time sold out and moved to a rented farm, but eventually bought back his Black Creek property, which he operated for five years and then sold. One year later Mr. Little purchased the farm which he is now operating, a well-watered, highly-cultivated tract on section 24, in Seymour township, where he has erected good buildings and made many improvements. Mr. Little carries on general farming and also raises graded stock, and his operations have been uniformly successful. He has devoted all of his time and attention to his farming duties, and has never aspired to public office.
In 1884, Mr. Little was united in marriage with Lillian Huse, who was born in Black Creek, Outagamie county, Wisconsin, in 1863, daughter of George and Elizabeth (Barnum) Huse, old settlers of Black Creek township, and to this union there have been born six children, namely: Howard, Myrl, Rosalind, Eva, Velma and Julia, who died at the age of nine months.
