                            HON. IKE SKELTON

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 5, 1997

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, it is with deep sadness that I inform the 
House of the death of Judge William T. Bellamy of Marshall, MO. Judge 
Bellamy was an honorable adversary in the courtroom, an outstanding 
jurist, and a warm and thoughtful friend.
  Judge Bellamy was born in Marshall in 1920, the son of Nell Newton 
and William T. Bellamy, Sr. He married Louise Ainsley on February 18, 
1950. He was a graduate of Westminister College in Fulton, MO, and the 
University of Michigan School of Law. He served his country with 
distinction during World War II, including service on the vital 
Manhattan project.
  Following the war, Judge Bellamy returned to Marshall and practiced 
law as a partner in the firm of Bellamy and Bellamy. From 1978 to 1988, 
he served as presiding judge of the 15th Judicial Circuit of Missouri. 
Judge Bellamy was an active member of his community, and he served with 
distinction on the Marshall school board for many years.
  Judge William T. Bellamy will be missed by all who had the privilege 
to know him. I know the Members of the House will join me in extending 
heartfelt condolences to his family: his wife, Louise; his three sons, 
Brad, Tut, and Page and their wives, Suzanna, Suzanne, and Shannon; and 
his three grandsons, James, Caleb, and Brandt.
