Wantage Recorder, Friday, June 10, 1910: Death of Jacob V. Little One of the Foremost Farmers in Sussex County--A man of Mark, Religiously and Socially. Friday last week Jacob Vanderhuff Little passed away at his home in Vernon township, at the ripe old age of 80 years, 1 month and 22 days. Mr. Little had been an invalid several months and gradually sank to rest--a rest that was not entirely unexpected, owing to his enfeebled condition from age. He was born in that township, April 11, 1830 a son of Joseph S. Rachel (Vanderhuff) LIttle, and was one of thirteen children, of whom two survive him: Owen J. LIttle of this borough, and William S. Little, of near town. Three children survive him: Joseph S. Little, of the homestead farm; Frank H. Little, of New York, and Mrs. Lewis Van Sickle of Van Sickle's Station in Wantage. His widow, surviving him, was formerly Miss Sarah M. Demarest, daughter of Samuel Demarest of New Milford. The deceased was a very active man and a hard-worker until the infirmities of advancing age compelled him to lay aside the active duties of life. Throughout his life he adhered to the business of a farmer. He is reported to have left a very comfortable fortune. He was one of the very faithful members of the Wantage First Baptist Church, and he and Mrs. Little, while his health permitted, were invariably in attendance at all the functions of the church, no matter what the weather might be. He will be much missed. The funeral was held at the Baptist Church in town on Tuesday at 11 a.m., Rev. E. E. Loux officiating. Interment in the Deckertown Union Cemetery. The pall bearers were Evi Vandruff, George Shepherd, Levi Hall, George Dymock, W. Scott Martin and J. Anson McBride. Rev. Mr. Loux, in his sermon, told of the deceased's long connection with the church, more than sixty years, in which he had officiated as deacon so long and faithfully. He also spoke very earnestly of his study of the Bible and his manner of thinking upon it. The columns of the local newspapers add to the force of the reverend gentleman's sermon, for the deceased was a liberal contributor for many years to probably all the papers of this county and to religious journals abroad. His topics embraced religious thoughts, and showed a broad scope of inquiry and sincerity; also current matters, upon which he argued forcibly."
