Hi Michelle,
The Little family was in transition at the turn of the
20th century. It appears that Louise/Lucy died during the 1890's.
I haven't been able to find her death record as yet, the surname may have
been misspelled.
Philip Little and his son Henry are found working and living in New York
State, Niagara,Niagara Falls City.
I followed Philip and son Henry through the 1910_1930 census years.
Henry remained unmarried. He and his father Philip are both found in the
1900 and 1910 living with various families as boarders.
Henry states that he came to the USA in 1894.
