Wenton Early Little

Long time Houston resident Wenton E. Little, passed away January 26, 2012, at his home in Bellville, Texas. He was born January 4, 1916, in Milam County, Texas to Sam E. Little and Clara Yoe Little. Preceeding him to be with our Lord and Savior were his parents, 2 brothers, Jarvis Little and Larry Little, and his 1st wife, Helen McKim Little.

He is survived by his 2nd wife, Johnnie Richie Little, who has been and continues to be his most wonderful gift and blessing to our family. He is further survived by his son, J.M. Little and daughter-in-law Paula, of Bellville, Texas; his daughter, Elizabeth Little Griffin of Houston, Texas; grandchildren Melissa Whatley, Ruth Ann Biggs, Karen Taylor, Bonnie Griffin, Amy Hansen, Vanessa Wallace and Bradley Little, as well as 19 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild.

W.E. Little was a long-time distributor for The Houston Chronicle, starting with the newspaper as a paper boy in the 6th Ward and eventually becoming the distributor for the Spring Branch Memorial area. He gave hundreds of young men, including his son, their first job.

W.E. Little was a subdivision developer in Spring Branch, Cypress and the 1960 area and southern Montgomery County.
