Thomas B. Littig
Oct. 24, 1919; Idaho Statesman; p 4

  Thomas B. Littig, pioneer, 87 years of age and a resident of Baker county since 1865, during which he was for many years prominently identified with the mining industry of the community, died at his home on Madison street Tuesday afternoon after an illness of more than a year.  Mr. Littig was born in Baltimore, Md., September 13, 1832, and was one of a family of 13.  He came west when he was 18 years of age by way of the isthmus, going first to California, where he was engaged at mining for a year, moving then to Port Orford, Curry county, and was engaged in mining there also.  Ten years later he came to Baker county and became interested in Mormon Basin placer mines, along with other enterprises, later going to Malheur county, where he served two terms in the state legislature.
   Mr. Littig was married in 1868 to Mary, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Meyers.  He is survived by his widow and daughter, Mrs. Paul Pollman of Baker, and three sons, James and Bert Littig of Eureka, Colo., and Harry Littig of Mackay, Idaho.  He also has a sister, Miss Harriett Littig, of New York.

   Thomas B. Littig, who died in Baker the other day at the age of 87, is about the last of the old-time miners who made that region famous in the last half-century.  "Tom" Littig never got rich, but he mined with the persistency of faith in his diggings and left the reputation of a square, all-round man.  He represented Malheur in the session of 1891, a position thrust upon him, for never was he an office seeker.

"Veteran Wants Platform"
Baker City, Or., Feb. 22

   One of the most stalwart Republicans of Oregon is T. B. Littig, of Baker City, who has voted the Republican ticket since Whig days and never aspired to or held a public office.  It was Mr. Littig who introduced the following resolution at the Lincoln Club banquet in this city on February 12:
   Be it resolved by Republicans of Baker County assembled:
   First --- That we believe in the fundamental principles of the primary law.
   Second --- That party harmony is necessary to party success and to that end and for that purpose there should be a party platform and a thorough and efficient party organization.
   Third --- That we are in favor of an assembly to be held by Republicans to adopt a party platform, and in the sole interest of party success and party harmony.
   Fourth --- That the members of such an assembly should be Republicans whose sole object and aim without regard to personal choice or personal interest, would be to recommend a good strong clean ticket to be submitted to the Republican voters of the state and county at the primary election.
