                       Tuesday, January 26, 2010

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I would like to request the 
House's attention today to pay recognition to the special life of Mary 
Coleman Gilmer of Montgomery, Alabama.
  Mrs. Gilmer was born on January 24, 1905 in Conecuh County, Alabama. 
In 1926, Mrs. Gilmer married Gaddie Gilmer, and in the 1940's she 
graduated from Alabama State Teacher's College High School Class.
  Mrs. Gilmer and her husband Gaddie adopted two daughters, Cubie Rae 
Chambliss and Jacqueline Lorraine Larry from two of her nieces. Both 
daughters graduated from Alabama State University. Mrs. Gilmer now has 
five grandchildren.
  Mrs. Gilmer has spent her life actively working in the church and has 
been the Minister of music at several churches in Alabama. She also 
worked for the Atlanta Life Insurance Company for many years.
  Today her friends and family will celebrate her birthday in 
Montgomery. I would like to join her family and friends in wishing Mrs. 
Mary Coleman Gilmer a very Happy 105th Birthday.
