The Rev. E. C. LITTLE, a former pastor of the Third U. P. church, Washington, was killed instantly Monday afternoon when he was struck by an automobile as he was crossing a street in Los Angeles, Cal. The telegram received late Tuesday by relatives in Washington, Pa., also announced that the funeral services would be held Thursday afternoon and the interment would be at Los Angeles. Edwin C. LITTLE was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. James A. LITTLE, who spent the last years of their life in Washington, their home being on Allison avenue. He was born and spent his early years in the family home near Venice, in Cecil township. He took his collegiate work at Westminster college, being graduated with the class of 1892. On the completion of the course in the Pittsburgh Theological seminary he was called to the Third United Presbyterian church, Washington, a newly organized congregation. After a pastorate here of 13 years he was called to the United Presbyterian church of Tarkio, Mo., an important change, in view of the location there of the denominational school, Tarkio college. There he spent another busy and growing period of 13 years, and last fall accepted a call to the First United Presbyterian church, of Los Angeles. Mrs. LITTLE survives with four children, Loretta, Martha, Corine and James. One brother also survives, Joseph A. LITTLE, of Wilkinsburg, and three sisters: Misses Annetta and Ida of Dormont, and Clara, wife of Ernest G. HENDERSON, of Winchester, Ky. Messrs. J. K. and A. C. BORLAND, of East Beau street, are uncles of the deceased clergyman, and Mrs. Martha REED of North avenue, is an aunt. Dr. J. E. and J. K. MCBRIDE, and the Misses Lillian and Frances MCBRIDE, North avenue, and Mrs. L. R. CRUMRINE, North Wade avenue, and S. L. REED, of North avenue, are cousins.
