C. F. LITTLEPAGE FUNERAL IS HELD

Member of Family Noted in Valley History Passes at 81

Funeral services were held Saturday morning for Charles Frazier Littlepage, 81 years old, who died Friday at a hospital after a two years illness.

One of a large family which included many notables of West Virginia's early history, Mr. Littlepage had engaged during his life in the practice of law, the insurance business and in early improvement work along the Kanawha river.

He was the son of Adam Brown Dickinson Littlepage who came to Malden from Greenbrier county in 1845 with his wife, Rebecca Wood Littlepage, and engaged in the salt business at Licks, near Malden.

Shortly afterwards Mr. and Mrs. Littlepage moved to the present Littlepage home on Kanawha Two-Mile, where four generations of the family have been born.

In his youth, Mr. Liltlepage was assistant engineer to Colonel Karlin, who was in charge of the construction of locks and dams on the Kanawha river. Later he was employed as an engineer in the construction of the Yorktown monument, which commemorates the surrender of Cornwallis.

Mr. Littlepage was later engaged in the insurance business with Major J. W. Alderson, with offices in the old Hale house. After he sold his interest in the business to William Lohmyer he entered the law school at Washington university and on his graduation entered the practice of law with his brothers, Sam D. and Adam B. Littlepage, the former of whom later became a judge and the latter a congressman.

About two years ago Mr. Littlepage was injured in an accident when a truck ran into him and his hip was fractured. Since that time he has been a patient at a Charleston hospital.
Other members of his family were Captain John W. Littlepage, Dr. Alexander D. Littlepage, and Mrs. George D. Bennett, of North Carolina, all of whom are dead, and
Mrs. A. M. Putney, of Kanawha Two-Mile.

He is survived by a son, Charles Frazier Littlepage, Jr., his daughter, Mrs. Lee Link, of Fort Springs, Va., and his sister, Mrs. Putney.

Rev. Ernest Thompson conducted the funeral services, which were held at the Simpson undertaking establishment. Burial was in the Littlepage family plot at Spring Hill cemetery.

The pallbearers were R. F. Irwin, Boyd Donnally, John G. Morgan, Staige Davis, Graham Painter and W. E. R. Byrne.
