                   IN MEMORY OF EVELYN CHRISTINE HALL

                                 ______


                           HON. BOBBY L. RUSH

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 24, 1995
  Mr. RUSH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with great sadness to ask my 
colleagues to join me in honoring Evelyn Christine Hall who passed from 
this life on April 16, 1995, at the age of 60.
  Evelyn Hall was born on November 8, 1934, in Covington, TN. Fondly 
referred to as ``Mickey,'' Evelyn was a loving wife, mother, and friend 
who touched the hearts of many.
  After completing high school in 1952, Evelyn moved to Chicago where 
she met her husband, Johnnie Marshall Hall. To this union were born 
five loving children, two sons and three daughters. She was employed by 
the U.S. post office in 1964, and retired from service in 1976. However 
that did not slow her down. In 1985 she received her salespersons 
license in real estate and eventually her brokers license. She even 
added another feather to her cap in 1994 when she received her 
associate of arts degree from South Suburban College in Illinois.
  Evelyn leaves to cherish her memory, a loving husband, Johnnie M. 
Hall, Sr.; 2 sons: Rev. Gregory R. Hall and Johnnie M. Hall, Jr.; 3 
daughters: Natalie D. Hall, Cora J. Layrock, and Shiela A. Hall-
Frazier; a stepdaughter, Margaret A. Hall; 2 brothers: Eddie and Lloyd 
Coward; 16 grandchildren; 2 great-grandchildren; 1 special aunt, Evelyn 
Bates; and a host of cousins and friends. As you can well see, she will 
be greatly missed by many.
  I am honored to enter these words of tribute to Ms. Evelyn Christine 
Hall into the Record.
