Shelburne Free Press - February 9, 1922 - GEORGE LITTLE:
The angel of death claimed another of the much respected residents of Mono township on Thursday, Feb. 2nd, in the person of George Little, in his 73rd year. His health began to fail nine years ago. He was rendered incapable of the busy life he formerly led by rheumatism and heart trouble. At the time of his demise he had been confined to bed for three years and seven months and during that trying time he never complained nor lamented his disabilities. He was a most patient sufferer and as bright as noon-day intellectually until he closed his eyes in death. Deceased was born in Mono township on Lot 5, Centre Road. In 1871 he married Mary Jane Baker, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Baker, and together they settled on Lot 26, Prince of Wales Rd., Mono, where they lived continuously until his death. Last October they celebrated their golden wedding. In religion he was a staunch supported and worker in the Church of England, serving for forty years as superintendent of St. James' Sabbath School at Primrose. In politics he was independent, considering always the character of the candidate, rather than the party. He was for four years a member of Mono Council, 20 years a director of the Dufferin Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Co. and 30 years Sec'y-Treas. of S.S. No. 12, Mono and Amaranth. At the time of the Fenian Raid he joined the Orangeville Co. of the 36th Battalion. He was a member of the A.O.U.W. and at the time of his death was an honorary member of the L.O.L. No. 1277, Primrose, of which lodge he was a member by certificate for 50 years, having been a member of L.O.L. No. 320, Orangeville, by initiation for 4 years. He was an honorary member of the United Farmers' Club, Primrose. He is survived by his widow, who faithfully and tenderly cared for him throughout his tedious illness; also four sons and five daughters, Joseph G., Shelburne; Wm. J. and Mrs. Robt. J. Small, Toronto; Mrs. Robt. Bailey, in Saskatchewan; Mrs. Samuel Shaw, Beeton; Mrs. Fred Buchanan, Mrs. Herb. Lindsay and Robt., all of Mono township; and Thomas, on the homestead, all of whom were present at the funeral which took place on Saturday last, Feb. 4th, to Shelburne cemetery. The service at the house and grave was conducted by Rev. W. H. Hartley, Shelburne, assisted by Rev. Mr. Cootes of Camilla. The funeral was a very large one, considering the poor condition of the roads. The pallbearers were Messrs. Beatty Lewis, James Thompson (Orangeville), Jesse Freemantle, Samuel Buchanan, Chas. Wilson and John Little.
