*****
George W. Littell, the subject of this personal sketch, first came to Pierce county, Nebraska, on March 19, 1880, when there were but a few houses in Pierce, the county seat. Mr. Littell bought one hundred and sixty acres of land eight miles southwest of Pierce, from his mother-in-law and began farming in the new country; so well did he succeed that he later added one hundred and twenty acres to the original
land, now a highly improved and productive farm.
In 1889 Mr. Littell was elected sheriff, serving something over six years, having filled one month of an unexpired term preceding his own. On completing his third term in office, Mr. Littell returned to the farm, which he operated until 1904, when moved to Pierce and has since resided here engaging in the real estate and insurance business. He has filled the office of justice of the peace for many years with an
impartiality satisfactory to the general public, and has served as police judge once in 1905, when Pierce was organized under city government.
George W. Littell, son of John and Deborah (Teeple) Littell, is a native of Canada, where his parents stopped to visit relatives on their migration from New York to Ohio.
Liking the country, the elder Littell remained for a number of years and here several of his children were born. Our subject was born June 12, 1840, and resided in Canada
West, until 1849, when his parents removed to Jackson county, Iowa. On the outbreak of the civil war, our subject enlisted in Company A, Ninth Iowa Infantry, serving three years.
Among the noted engagements in which he participated are Pea Ridge, Siege of Vicksburg, Lookout Mountain, under Hooker, and the campaign around Atlanta. After the march to the sea his company proceeded to Louisville, Kentucky, where they were discharged.
After the war, Mr. Littell removed to LaBette county, Kansas, where he farmed for five years and returned to Iowa, where he lived until 1880, the year of his coming to Pierce
county.
Mr. Littell was married in Nashville, Jackson county, Iowa, March 29, 1863, to Miss Julia A. Harvey, to whom three children were born: Carrie; Frank, in charge of an elevator in Pierce; and Nettie, for a number of years a teacher in Nebraska schools, now the wife of William Frances, a farmer of Pierce county.
Mr. Littell is a republican, returning hearty support to the organization for the preferment that has been shown him by the party.
He has been initiated into the mysteries of Ancient Freemasonry, and is a prominent member of the Grand Army of the Republic post of Pierce.
