DUNCAN LITTLE DIES SUDDENLY

Veteran Engineer Stricken with Heart Attack at Jackson

The host of friends in McComb will team, with heart-felt sorrow of the sudden death in Jackson Sunday of Duncan A. Little, veteran Illinois Central locomotive engineer, and for many years a resident of this city.

Mr. Little was stricken with a heart attack shortly before he was to have climbed into the cab of his engine for the day’s work in the Jackson yards. He had already reported for duty when he suffered the sudden seizure.

Mr. Little, who was 64 years old, entered the service of the Illinois Central at McComb June 3, 1903 as a locomotive fireman and was promoted to engineer February 17, 1907. Up to nine years ago, when he was transferred to Jackson, his service was in the Louisiana division. A man of sterling qualities, he won the esteem of all with whom, he came in contact and his passing will cause deep regret not only among his fellow workers in this division but to many others in this city among whom he spent the greater part of his life and where he reared his family.

He is survived by his two sons, W. A. Little now in the service of the Illinois Central at Paducah, Ky., and Duncan D. Little, a student at Mississippi State College: his daughters, Mrs. C. A. Paulk of Summit and Miss Mary Little and Miss Lucille Little of Jackson; his brother, George G. Little of Natchez, and two sisters, Mrs. Flora Kelly, and Mrs. S. B. Enochs of Jackson, Tenn.

Active pall bearers will be Harmner Bowen, W. C. Davis, E. G. Sorsby, Joe Edwards, Ed Whittington, Joe Murphy, and A. E. Williams and Tom Clements of McComb.
