On Friday, December 16th, 1938, there passed peacefully away at his home, lot 26, Highway 10, Mono township, Thomas Little, youngest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. George Little, of the same place. His passing makes the first break in a family of nine.
They are: - Joseph G., of Shelburne; - Mrs. Fred Buchanan, - Mrs. Herbert Lindsay and - Robert Little, of Mono; - Wm. J. Little and - Mrs. R. J. Small, of Toronto; - Mrs. S. G. Shaw, of Aylmer, Ont., and - Mrs. R. J. Bailey, of Eyebrow, Sask.

The loss of such a kind and much needed husband in the prime of life is a sad one. Always keenly interested in the welfare of the community and especially the young, he was generous with his time, energy and worldly possessions. He was a lifelong member of St. James Anglican church, Primrose, and was Superintendent of its Sunday School for over twenty years. He was President of the Mono Religious Education Council for a number of years and was one of the first and most enthusiastic workers in promoting vacation schools in Mono township.

Mr. Little's long and trying illness was borne with such splendid fortitude and Christian faith that his example will be long remembered by all who knew him. A befitting prayer for his life and passing finds expression in the following lines: The Lord preserve thy going out, The Lord preserve thy coming in. His angels guard thee round about To keep thy soul from every sin. And when thy going out is done. And when thy coming in is o'er. When in the dear and hallowed place Thy feet can come and go no more, The Lord preserve thy going out From this fair world, from friends and kin, While angels standing round about Sing, "God preserve thy coming in."

The many friends who called at his late home all day Sunday and the large attendance at the funeral, which took place on Monday afternoon, bore tribute to the high esteem in which Mr. Little was held. Service was held in St. James Church, Primrose, by Rev. G. P. Parson, the rector, assisted by Rev. H. 0. Hutcheson, a friend and co-worker.

The remains were laid to rest in Shelburne cemetery. The pallbearers were six nephews: George Buchanan, Harry Shaw, Frank Brown, Frank Turner, Stanley Summerfield and Harold Watson. The many beautiful floral tributes were expressive of the high esteem and deep sympathy of the community and friends at a distance.
