Obituary for Henry Little, Sr.
Henry Little, Sr., 89, of Dawsonville passed away Wednesday July 17, 2019 at Northside Forsyth Hospital.
Born January 9, 1930 in North Carolina, he had been a resident of Dawson County for the past 18 years having moved from Cleveland, Tennessee.

During his working life he traveled extensively as a commercial sales rep for City Service Oil Company. An avid and talented golfer, he affectionately earned the name “Ho Hum Henry” because his shots were so consistent his friends would joke that his golf game was boring. He also enjoyed gardening, bird watching, spending time at the beach but most of all his grandchildren. Henry was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Martha M. Little; parents, Lawrence and Belle Little; sisters, Ruby Peterson, Frankie Little; brother, John Little.
