Funeral services for Kos Little, well-known spoke manufacturer and former resident of this city, who died near Friar's Point, Miss., last Thursday morning, were held Sunday afternoon from the family home at Kennett. Rev. Wayne Gray, pastor of the Presbyterian Church in this city and personal friend of Mr. Little, assisted the Kennett pastor in the services.
Mr. Little was born October 27, 1869 in Weakley County, Tenn., moving when a young man to Dresden, Tenn., where he resided for some time before going to Paducah, Ky., where he was associated with his brother in the manufacturing of spokes. Three of his brothers were at that time engaged in the manufacture of spokes.
In 1901 Mr. Little moved his spoke mill to Kennett where he remained for approximately 15 years. About 20 years ago he moved his mill to Caruthersville and was actively engaged in the manufacture of spokes here until three years ago last June when he suffered a heart attack. He was confined to his bed for about six months. He recovered sufficiently to be about but doctors decreed that he should forget business and take a complete rest. Shortly thereafter he and Mrs. Little moved back to Kennett to their former home, occupied by their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Paul King.
.....
In addition to having operated the spoke mill, Mr. Little had served on both the city council and school board at Kennett and was connected with the Kennett Building & Loan Association. He was an active member of the Rotary Club in this city until illness prevented his attendance. Mr. Little had an active part in the reclaiming and clearing of timber lands in Dunklin and Pemiscot counties and was one of the organizers of the Elk Chute Drainage District of which he was acting president at the time of his death.
A large number of friends from Caruthersville attended the services and Floyd Barnhart, a fellow Rotarian, sang a solo. ...
Mr. Little is survived by his wife, Mrs. Mary Little, one daughter, Mrs. T. Paul King, all of Kennett, also two sisters, Mrs. George Jetter and Mrs. I.L. Banks of Dresden, Tenn.
Interment was at the Oak Ridge Cemetery near Kennet.
