                        TRIBUTE TO MARY LINCOLN

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing Mary Lincoln of Liberty County for her 100 years of 
determination, joy, and service for others.
  At 107, Mary Lincoln has lived through 19 Presidents, two World Wars, 
the Great Depression, and was born before women could vote. Ms. Lincoln 
was born in 1911, just north of Rudyard, MT, in a small homestead 
shack. As an infant, she was placed in a cardboard box with blankets 
and laid atop of the home's oven to keep warm. From then on, Mary 
Lincoln has embodied the true spirit of Montana, keeping a light heart 
and always staying busy.
  Mary Lincoln graduated from Havre High School at 16, where she then 
went

on to get a teaching degree from a small college in Illinois. After 
college, Ms. Lincoln came back to teach at Juanita County School in 
Montana. She has out lived all of her students, except for one who, at 
91, still visits her. Ms. Lincoln and her husband Donald were married 
for 60 years and had three children together.
  Mary Lincoln is an inspiration to all, she has seized all that life 
has to offer and at 107 still says that her best years are yet to come. 
I congratulate Ms. Lincoln for her exemplary Montanan spirit and 
continual support towards small Montana communities.
