Thomas Little emigrated to Ontario, Canada from Ireland about 1840, where he then engaged in farming. He moved to Black Creek, WI in 1865. At this time the township was still a mass of tangled brush. He located on 240 acres in Black Creek, then moved to an 80 acre tract in Grand Chute Twp for 4 years. He moved to Sheridan Twp in Poweshiek Co, IA between 1869-1879. He returned to Wisconsin, first in Winnebago County then returning to Black Creek, where he operated an 80 acre farm. He then bought an 80 acre farm nearby that he sold 15 years later. He next took up a quarter section in Black Creek Twp for 8 years. He then settled on a 10 acre tract near the village for 5 years. He moved into the village of Black Creek where he remained the rest of his life.
Thomas married Rebecca Biefield about 1846 in Canada and had nine children with her, six of which were born in Canada and three in Wisconsin.

Biography:
THOMAS B. LITTLE, a farmer and stock raiser of Seymour township, who is carrying on operations on section 27, was born in Western Canada, February 27, 1853, a son of Thomas and Rebecca (Biefield) Little. Thomas Little was born in Ireland, from whence he came to America and located in Canada, where he was engaged in agricultural pursuits. He brought his family to Black Creek township, Outagamie county, Wisconsin, in the early days when the town site was a vast, tangled brush, and located on 240 acres of land, on which, however, he remained but a short time, moving to an eighty-acre tract in Grand Chute township. He remained at this place for four years, and then spent a few months in Central Iowa, but returned to Wisconsin and located on a farm in Winnebago county, eventually returning to Black Creek township, where for one year he operated an eighty-acre farm near the village. He then went to another farm of eighty acres nearby, but after four or five years sold out and took up a quarter section in another part of Black Creek township, on which he carried on operations for seven or eight years, then settling on a ten-acre tract near the village, where he continued to farm for five years. Finally he moved into the village, and there he spent the remaining years of his life, his death occurring in 1906, when he was eighty-seven years old. His first wife had died thirty-five years previous to this time and he had married again, but all of his children were by the first union, and were as follows: John, Thomas B., William, Robert and Moses, born in Canada, and Richard, Albert, Margaret and Rebecca, born in the United States.
Thomas B. Little received his early education in the schools of Canada and remained at home with his parents until he had reached the age of twenty-four years, when he began farming on a tract of forty acres in Clayton township. After four or five years he moved to Black Creek township, Outagamie county, where he farmed for three or four years on an eighty-acre farm, and at the end of that time sold out and moved to a rented farm, but eventually bought back his Black Creek property, which he operated for five years and then sold. One year later Mr. Little purchased the farm which he is now operating, a well-watered, highly-cultivated tract on section 24, in Seymour township, where he has erected good buildings and made many improvements. Mr. Little carries on general farming and also raises graded stock, and his operations have been uniformly successful. He has devoted all of his time and attention to his farming duties, and has never aspired to public office.
In 1884, Mr. Little was united in marriage with Lillian Huse, who was born in Black Creek, Outagamie county, Wisconsin, in 1863, daughter of George and Elizabeth (Barnum) Huse, old settlers of Black Creek township, and to this union there have been born six children, namely: Howard, Myrl, Rosalind, Eva, Velma and Julia, who died at the age of nine months.

Headstone photo can be seen on this website along with other photos for this cemetery

Per research: Trees on Ancestry give his name as Moses Little with date of birth as October 1857. However the inscription on the headstone photo has his name as Mose Little, with dates 1860 - 1940. Evidence from Family Histories indicate the 1857 date as more probably accurate.
~~~~~~
Moses mother Rebecca Biefield was born in England on Oct 12 1828. She immigrated to Canada where she met and married Thomas Little, his father, who had emigrated from Ireland, they married approx 1845. Together they had nine children, six of which were born in Canada of which Moses was one, and the last three were born in Black Creek WI. after the family immigrated to the US 1865. Rebecca died in Oshkosh, Winnebago Co WI on Sept 7 1875 as shown on her gravestone. Thomas died in Black Creek, WI in 1906 and is buried there.

According to the 1870 US Census Moses moved to Sheridan, Poweshiek, IA. By 1880 he is in Hixon, Clark, WI, and finally to Shawano (between 1880 and his marriage in 1885 to Louise Mielke in Lessor, Shawano, WI). 1900 has him in Hutchins, Shawano, WI, then in 1910 Oshkosh, Winnebago, Wi (possibly to work with his brother John Little at John's sawmill), then before 1920 back to Red Springs, Shawano, WI where both census records show him married to Nellie French Little. By the 1930 US Fed Census records he is divorced and living with son Wilbur. He was living in Greshem, Shawano, WI where he died in 1940.

Obituary:
Donald Wickesberg was born in Black Creek, WI on January 19, 1932. He was born to Launce and Viola Wickesberg (nee: Grunwaldt). Donald died at Cherry Meadows with his wife, Marnna, at his side holding his hand. On May 2, 2012, they had been married 48 years. She loved him dearly and was always proud of him. Donald went to Seymour High School, and was very involved in sports. He went on to the University of Wisconsin in Madison, and was in ROTC. He graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He then joined The United States Air Force and became a 1st Lieutenant Pilot. He was honorably discharged from the Air Force reserve as a Captain. Donald worked at Ethel Corp. in Detroit, and then was transferred to San Bernardino, CA. Loving Wisconsin, Donald moved back to Black Creek his home town, and got a job in Neenah. Along the way, he met a girl from Racine, and they eventually got married. Several years later, he went to work at TEC Systems, Inc. in DePere, WI. Donald retired at age 59. He decided that it was time to do some things he had always wanted to do, and help out his family in any way he could. I don't think there was anything he couldn't do. We are both Christians, and are members of St. Marks Lutheran Church in Neenah. Donald was a very honest and humble man, and always supported those in need. He will be missed by many. Survivors include his wife, Marnna, his sister, Janice (Wickesberg) Waltman, El Paso, TX, brother, Bruce Wickesberg, Albuquerque, NM, nephews, Joel and Jeff Huhn, David and Mark Wickesberg, and Brian Wickesberg, nieces, Susan (Waltman) Sanchez, Nancy (Waltman) Vigil, Jerilyn Huhn, Shelley (Wickesberg) Johnston, Brenda (Wickesberg) Bestamen, Cathi (Wickesberg) Purcella, Lori (Copple) Gallagher, Teri (Copple) Peterson, and his friends, Courtney, Caitlin and his golf buddy, Conner, brothers-in-law, Jerry Huhn and John Fenn and sisters-in-law, Sandra Wickesberg and Kathleen Fenn. He was preceded in death by his parents, brother, Gerald Wickesberg, sister, Joyce (Wickesberg) Huhn, mother-in-law, Helene Sorensen, father-in-law, Alfred Sorensen, brothers-in-law, Robert Waltman and Jack Sorensen and sister-in-law, Shirley Wickesberg. A memorial service for Donald will be held on Friday, May 25, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Marks Ev. Lutheran Church, 140 S. Green Bay Rd., Neenah with the Rev. Stephen Dietzler officiating. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund is being established. Online condolences may be shared with the family at www.valleyfh.com.
Thank you to Dr. K. Theyerl and Ashley, Dr. Phillips and his staff. Thank you to Michael, Crystal, and Nicklas who are always ready to help. Thank you to our neighbors, the Wileys, Woldts, and Carlsons. Thank you, dear friend, Carole Halverson, who was with me and Donald from morning to morning, and also when Donald went to meet Jesus. Thank you Jon, for always being there for us and supporting Carole. God Bless you.
My dear Donald, I will love you forever, and will always be your wife. Someday we will meet again. Love, Marnna.
If you want your loved one to leave in love, compassion and dignity, choose Cherry Meadows.

God saw he was getting tired And cure was not to be;
So he put His arms around him And whispered "Come with Me."
With tearful eyes we watched him suffer And saw him fade away;
Although we loved him dearly We couldn't make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating Hard working hands to rest;
God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best!
