I believe she died around 1929. She was in the 1920 census in Milam County Tx. (Jones Prairie ) and her husband and son are still there in 1930. J.W. Black is listed as a widower. I know she was still alive when my father-in-law was born in 1923. I know it's a big span from 1923 till 1930 but I think he was about 4 or 5 when she died. Any help would be appreciated.

I would be interested in a list of the church membership of the Little River Baptist Church also. I have family buried there. My Little family who lived in Milam County were Primitive Baptist and I don't know where they went to church but my GGG Grandfather, Joseph Early Little was suppose to be a Primitive Baptist preacher. I think they were called Elders then. On his tombstone at Bryant Station, it says, Elder J.E. Little. Also, his oldest son, William Marion Little was also a Primitive Baptist preacher evedently well known in Milam county and the surrounding area. They or at least Will Little rode the circuit or something like that. If anyone knows anything about them, I'd love to know more about it.
