Little family kitchen
In 1900 this house contained the largest number of Littles during the 135 -year period of Little occupation: twelve family members and five hired laborers and domestics living in the tenant farmhouse. The family consisted of two brothers, farming as partners, their wives and children, their unmarried sister Eliza, and their widowed mother Catherine. Also present were two women who worked as domestics and three men who worked as farm laborers. In 1900, all of them were Irish, all were immigrants, and all were unmarried. By 1910, hired hands were Lithuanian and hired girls were of mixed ethnic backgrounds, including Finnish. In this and the later period, there was also a cook, Mrs. Lynch, who didn't live on the farm, but came in daily.
