            RECOGNIZING EMMA BEATRICE TAYLOR--95 YEARS YOUNG

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 3, 2000

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, today I honor Emma Beatrice Taylor, a 
resident of Brooklyn, on her 95th birthday. I ask my colleagues 
assembled here today to please join me in acknowledging Mrs. Taylor's 
remarkable life.
  On this day, October 3, 1905, here in Washington, D.C., her father, 
an immigrant from Africa, and her mother, an immigrant from England, 
were blessed with the birth of their daughter, Emma. As a young girl, 
Emma possessed excellence, greatness, the favor of God, love and honor, 
the law of kindness in tongue, morality and character. Emma married 
Elbert James Robinson, and their union was blessed with three beautiful 
daughters, including my very good friend, Delores Chainey. Mr. Speaker, 
all of the amazing blessings bestowed upon Emma Taylor are the result 
of a God-centered life.
  Mr. Speaker, Emma Beatrice Taylor is more than worthy of receiving 
our birthday wishes, and I hope that all of my colleagues will join me 
today in honoring this outstanding woman.
