                IN MEMORY OF SERGEANT MARLIN C. CARROLL

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. IKE SKELTON

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 3, 1997

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, it is with deep sadness that I inform the 
House of the death of Sergeant Marlin C. Carroll of Warsaw, MO. 
Sergeant Carroll had a distinguished 30-year career in the Missouri 
State Highway Patrol before his retirement in 1988. I knew him as a 
friend, as a dedicated law enforcement officer, and as a man of honor 
and integrity.
  Sgt. Carroll was born on a farm in Worth County, MO, in 1933, the son 
of Ralph Wayne and Aloha June Morin Carroll. He grew up in Worth County 
and graduated from Grant City High School in 1951. He married Gerry 
Heisman on May 18, 1952. He served his country with distinction in the 
U.S. Army and in the U.S. Air Force Reserve.
  In 1958, Sgt. Carroll joined the Missouri State Highway Patrol, and 
was stationed in my hometown of Lexington, MO. IN 1965, he received the 
American Red Cross Life Saving Award for his prompt and professional 
actions in rescuing a child from a life-threatening accident. In 1967, 
he was promoted to Corporal and transferred to Carrollton, MO, and in 
1971, he was promoted to Sergeant and moved to Warsaw where he served 
as zone sergeant for Benton and Henry Counties until his retirement.
  Sgt. Carroll was an active member of his community, and he 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, Gerry: his daughter, Patty; his two sons, David and 
Eddie; his nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; and his 
mother, brother, and two sisters.
