The mother of Adam B. Littlepage, a former resident of this place, died at her home in West Virginia, Saturday week. The following account of her death we clip from the Charleston, West Virginia Star Tribune.
Mrs. Rebecca T. Littlepage died at 12 o'clock Saturday, after an illness of about 10 days, at the old stone mansion, near the mouth of Kanawha 2 mile, which is one of the landmarks of the county and has been the family residence for about 50 years.
Mrs. Littlepage was 73 years of age and was born near the upper falls of Cool, being a daughter of William Woods, one of the most prominent citizens of the county in his day. She married Adam P. Littlepage, also one of Kanawha's prominent citizens, who died in 1862, leaving 7 children - 5 sons and 2 daughters, all of whom, with one exception, are still living and are among the most highly respected residents of the community. They are John W., Charles F., Dr. Alex B., Samuel D., and Adam B. Littlepage, and Mrs. Rebecca N. Putney, wife of A.M. Putney of Malden. The other daughter, Fannie Littlepage, who married George D. Bennett, who is quite well known in various parts of the south, died some 4 years ago.
Mrs. Littlepage was a most estimable lady, and by her sterling character and many kind actions endearing herself to all with whom she came in contact during her long and useful life. No one ever passed to the better world more universally loved or whose death was so universally regretted.
