General Notes: Husband - Rev. Edward Shillito Littell


He obtained his primary education at the public schools of Allerton, Iowa, graduating therefrom in 1886. He then attended Amity College of College Springs, Page County, Iowa, for two years, and then attended Monmouth College, Monmouth, Illinois, three years, graduating from the last named institution in 1891. The next three years he attended the Allegheny Theological Seminary, graduating in 1894. He was pastor of Uniontown congregation in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, five years, lacking a few months; was doing missionary work in New York a little over a year, and was pastor of the Zelienople United Presbyterian church, in Butler County, Pennsylvania.
Mr. Littell's first business venture was to work with a carpenter for one summer. His next labor was herding cattle on the prairies of Kansas in the summer of 1887 for G. W. De Camp, of Emporia, Kansas. Politically Mr. Littell was in many ways in full sympathy with the Republican party, but on account of the temperance issue usually voted with the Prohibitionists. As a minister of the United Presbyterian church he was secretary of National Reform Work in Butler County, Pennsylvania, and was one of nine members of the Littell family in this country who are now United Presbyterian ministers.
