                        SARAH EMILY MOORE JONES

 Ms. MIKULSKI. Mr. President, I would like to call to the 
attention of my colleagues the upcoming birthday of Mrs. Sarah Emily 
Moore Jones, a native Marylander. On Saturday, May 11, 1996, Mrs. Jones 
will become 92 years young. I know my colleagues join me in extending 
heartfelt birthday wishes to Mrs. Jones.
  Mrs. Jones was born in Wetipquin, MD, the fourth of seven children. 
She attended Wetipquin Elementary School and Salisbury High School and 
received a degree in education from Bowie Normal, which is now Bowie 
State University. Mrs. Jones taught in the Wicomico County public 
school system in elementary and adult education. She is a faithful 
member of St. James Free Methodist Church, in Head of Creek, MD, where 
she served as the musician for over 40 years.
  On June 27, 1925, Sarah Emily Moore married Matthew Jones of Head of 
Creek, MD. To that union, four children were born: Thelma Martin and 
Matthew Jones of Washington, DC, Linfred Jones of Quantico, MD, and 
Mary Hilda Elsey of Nanticoke, MD. Mrs. Jones has one stepson, Samuel 
Boslee of New Jersey. She is also a grandmother, a great grandmother, 
and a great great grandmother.
  After her husband of 60 years passed away on September 6, 1985, Mrs. 
Jones continued to live independently until December 6, 1995, when she 
incurred a hip injury. As a result of her injury, and the surgery and 
rehabilitation that followed, she began living with her daughter, 
Thelma.
  The ever soft-spoken, perpetually happy Sarah can be found smiling 
and composed through any circumstance. She is revered and loved by all 
whose lives she touches. I ask my colleagues to join me in wishing 
Sarah Jones a very happy 92d birthday.
