From Flouley, Denmark, to the little town of Emma was a long, long way in those days of the 1890's, but Mary Pederson came with her brother, Jim Pederson, and landed at Emma in 1891, making the final stage of the trip in a covered wagon. Two years later she married Frank Littlefield of Farmer and lived in that community, later moving to Emma where Frank put in a drugstore and when Emma was moved away, the drugstore was moved to Crosbyton. It was known as the Littlefield Drug Store and the present postmaster of Crosbyton, a son of the Frank Littlefields says he was "raised" here, Mr. and Mrs. Littlefield are both buried in the cemetery at Crosbyton by the side of their two sons, Albert and Julian. Children living are: Olen, Fred, Dennie and George, Mrs. Naomi George and Miss Eva Littlefield.Jim Pederson brought his sister, Mary, to Emma when she was only fifteen years old. He lived in a dugout near Emma for a few years and then returned to Denmark.
