"William Virgil Littrell, son of W. J. and Emma Gish Littrell, was born October 1, 1871, on a farm two miles north of Wheeling, where he grew to manhood, being one of a family of eight children, four boys and four girls. He was united in marriage to Mary Whitebread July 21, 1892, and established their home in Wheeling, where he had always lived until his death on Wednesday, October 25, 1944, at the age of 73 years and 24 days. Five children were born to this union, namely: Zula, Leon and Logan Littrell and Mrs. Mac Hawker, all of Wheeling, and Willis, who preceded him in death in April, 1935.
His parents, two brothers, J. G. and E. J. Littrell, and one sister, Mrs. Maude Harris, also preceded him. He leaves to mourn his sudden passing his wife, the four children and five grandchildren, Anna Ruth Littrell of Kansas City, Mary, Margaret, Benny and Carol Littrell of Wheeling and Marine Pfc. Max E. Littrell, stationed in the Peleliu Islands in the South Pacific; three sisters, Miss Sadie and Ida Littrell and Mrs. Etta Clark; one brother, F. S. Littrell, and a number of nieces and nephews, other relatives and friends.
Billy (as he was called by his associates) had the respect and good will of his fellow men and was ever ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. He was a member of the order of the Modern Woodman of America. He will be sadly missed in the home by his companion with who he has shared the joys and sorrows of 52 years of married life and his children who were obedient to his every wish.
Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at the Baptist church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Robert Chenoweth, assisted by Rev. Lloyd Morgan. A male quartet, composed of A. D. Botts, A. D. Leavell, Harley Gallatin and F. C. Tompkins, sang 'Sometime We'll Understand' and 'We'll Never Grow Old.' Harley Gallatin sang a solo, 'The Unclouded Day'. Mrs. F. C. Tompkins was the accompanist. Pallbearers were F. H. Sensenich, Jack Love, Arley Mace, Gordon Darling, Guy Cox and Steve Biggerstaff. Honorary pallbearers were A. E. Norman, F. L. Smiley, J. L. Walkup, Jesse Moran, Ed Mace and Parker Meyers. Flowerbearers were Mrs. F. H. Sensenich, Mrs. Gordon Darling, Mrs. Guy Cox, Mrs. Arley Mace, Mrs. Steve Biggerstaff and Mrs. Jack Love.
The church was filled with relatives and friends who came to pay their last tribute to the departed one. Interment was made in the family lot in the Wheeling Cemetery under the direction of the Smiley Funeral Home. The stores closed during the hour of the funeral." The Chillicothe Constitution-Tribune
