                 IONE KENDALL CELEBRATES 100TH BIRTHDAY

                                 ______


                         HON. JAMES E. CLYBURN

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 13, 1994

  Mr. CLYBURN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Mrs. Ione 
Kendall, of Florence, SC, who celebrated her 100th birthday on June 18, 
1994.
  Mrs. Kendall was born on June 18, 1894, in Waco, TX, the daughter of 
George Brisco and Sally Wortham. She was one of eight children and grew 
up on a ranch, where her father raised horses and cows and grew corn 
and cotton.
  Mrs. Kendall's father joined the Confederate Army near the end of the 
Civil War, which establishes her as an original Daughter of the 
Confederacy. She continues to be an active member of the Ellison Capers 
Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Samuel Bacot 
Chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution.
  She attended Baylor University and worked for the Internal Revenue 
Service in Washington, DC, before moving back home to Waco to teach 
school. She married Jim Kendall of North Carolina on February 25, 1921, 
and the couple moved to Florence, where Mrs. Kendall joined Central 
United Methodist Church. She taught Sunday school at Central for many 
years and continues her membership there.
  Mrs. Kendall and her husband had four children. She has five 
grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in wishing a happy 100th birthday to a 
remarkable woman who credits her longevity to living a good life and 
keeping active.
