Life

Mary Emma Felton Little, usually called Emma, was born at Auburn, Lee County, Alabama, on 8 May 1879, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date.1 The federal census of 1880 lists Emma Little in the household (the people living together at one address, as the census-taker recorded them) of Charles Little at Auburn, and in 1900 Mary E. Little was in the household of Charles E. Little in Auburn village.2

On 2 November 1905, at Auburn, she married Reuben David Webb, a son of Charles David Webb and Clarrissa Jane Carlisle of Coosa County.3 The census of 1910 found the couple at Auburn, and in August 1912 she was at the Webb family reunion near Kellyton, Coosa County, with her husband and their children Herbert and Eleanor.4 The tree names the couple's children as Charles Hubert (1906–1978), Eleanor (1909–2007) and David Lawrance (1920–2010).5

She is named in her husband's draft registration of 1917–1918, recorded in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, and the tree also gives her an undated residence at Spartanburg.6 The census of 1930 placed her at Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia, and by 1940 the couple were living at Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida, where the census of 1950 again recorded Emma L. Webb in her husband's household.7 She died at Tampa on 20 October 1955 and was buried there; Find a Grave indexes her memorial as Mary Emma Little Webb.8 Her husband died at Tampa a year later, on 8 October 1956.9
