Abstract:

James B. Little was born on November 26, 1854, and married Miss Lola Fleming, on January 5, 1893. After a very interesting public life, he was elected to the legislatures of 1903 and 1905. He fought hard for public education. Captain Joseph John Laughinghouse was born on October 4, 1847, and married Eliza O'Hagan in 1870. He served the Confederacy in the Civil War and was an excellent soldier. He was promoted to the rank of captain four days before his seventeenth birthday. After his military duties were up, he was elected to the North Carolina House of Representatives in 1904 and 1906. In this article, portraits of these men are available.
