MATTIE LUCILLE
LITTLE STARNES
A pall of sorrow fell over the
town of Mullin just at sunset,
Tuesday eve, February 18, 1947,
when news reached Mullin that
Mrs. Cecil Starnes had been
killed in a car accident near
Bunenville. Mrs. Starnes had
been to Goldthwaite to see when
the Butane Gas Co. could fin-
ish putting gas into her new
beauty parlor. It is supposed by
loved ones Mattie either had a
flat or blow-out and the car
got out of control, turning over
and killing her instantly.
Mattie was born July, 1903 at
Mullin, Texas. She was the
second daughter of Aron and
Jaquetta Little. Mattie’s mother
was one of the sweetest Chirst-
ian women, and the night was
never too dark for Mrs. Little
to go and help her sick neigh-
bors. But she was burned to
death when Mattie was ten
years old and Mattie learned
early in life to carry the burden
of the home and take her place
in all the work of the churches
and schools. She was married
June 30, 1923, to Cecil Starnes
of Mullin, Texas.
She had two brothers, Mark
and Charlie Little of. Mullin,
who passed away in young man-
hood. She is survived by two
Age__________} sisters, Mrs. A. F. Fox of Hous-
ton* Texas, and Mrs. Jim Ches-
ser of Donna, Texas; three
