Burrell Kemp Littlepage, son of the late Judge Samuel D. Littlepage, took up the same profession that his father followed, and had an extensive practice at Charleston.
He was born in Charleston, West Virginia, June 28, 1888,and was educated in the Charleston public schools and in St. John's Manlius Military Institute at Syracuse, New York. He studied law in the University of West Virginia, receiving the LL. B. degree in 1911 and his literary degree in 1910. He was admitted to the bar and began practice in Charleston in 1910, entering practice as a member of the firm Littlepage and Littlepage, the other member being the late Judge Samuel D. Littlepage.
Burrell served as member of the City Council from 1914 to 1916. In 1916 he received the democratic nomination for prosecuting attorney of Kanawha County, and in spite of the fact that the county gave a large normal Republican majority, he was elected. He served four years, beginning January 1, 1917. He was the youngest prosecuting attorney the county ever had. He administered the office with the heaviest normal routine of duties in the state, and also with the increased burdens imposed by the war period as U. S. Government appeal agent for three boards in the county.
After retiring from office, he was engaged in general practice as a member of the firm Byrne, Littlepage & Linn at Charleston. The thoroughness and efficiency of his work as a lawyer and his fidelity to the interest of his clients won for him an exceptionally large and valuable practice.
In 1913, Mr. Littlepage married Miss Madge K. Robins, of Charleston, daughter of Dr. J. E. Robins, one of the eminent businessmen of that city. Mr. and Mrs. Littlepage and their children resided in "Greystone," the old stone mansion in the suburbs of Charleston which had been the home of the Littlepage family for four generations.
