In 1909 he was awarded Hampstead's first Boston Post Cane for being the oldest citizen. His bio in the Boston Post at the time he was awarded the Boston Post cane in Hampstead NH reads: "Mr Little still lives in the home in Hampstead where he was born, a descendant of Daniel Little, moderator of the first business meeting of the town. During his active life Mr. Little was a farmer, working from dawn to dark. He served the town as collector of taxes and as trustee of the Hampstead High School. He married Betsy Peaslee, who died in 1898, and has three children. Mr. Little attributes his longevity to strict temperance, plenty of hard work and regularity of life. He is in good health and hopes to live many years."
