By occupation, James Robert Little was a farmer with a considerable portion of his work being devoted to the raising of fine melons and fruits which he marketed. Early on, he and his wife, Willie united with the Episcopal Church South at Hunter's Memorial Church. When this church moved to Bauxite, they united with the Missionary Baptist Church at Mount Olive. Another factor which influenced this change in church affiliation was the fact that their daughter, Myrtle Anna, had become the wife of a Baptist minister, and the parents felt they could be of greater service in the cause of Christianity if the family maintained church unity.

Willie Bagby was a daughter of William Bagby and Mary BAIN. The parents of Mrs. Mary Bain Bagby died in Mississippi where they lived. William Bagby was a brother of Charles Bagby. The farm of William Bagby adjoined on the south of that of James Robert Little.
