                           HON. BOBBY L. RUSH

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, April 6, 1995
  Mr. RUSH. It is with great sadness that I rise today to honor the 
late Henry Athalone, who passed from this life on March 4, 1995.
  Henry Athalone was born on July 20, 1918, in the town of Steiner, MS. 
After moving to Chicago in 1952, he worked at the Lindberg Engineering 
Co. until his retirement.
  Active in his community, Mr. Athalone was a member of the Holy Garden 
of Prayer Church under the leadership of Elder Jeffro Williams.
  Henry was a devoted family man. He was married for nearly 56 years to 
his wife, the former Elnora Overton. To this union were 
[[Page E850]] born six loving daughters, Edna, Rosie, Louvenia, Daisy, 
Martha, and Denise; and one son, Samuel.
  Mr. Speaker, Henry Athalone was a very dear friend to his family and 
neighbors, and was a loving father figure to those around him. He 
touched those who knew him with his intelligence, humor and 
sensitivity. He will be truly missed.
  I am honored to enter these words of tribute to Mr. Henry Athalone 
into the Record.
