                  IN RECOGNITION OF ELLIE MAE MAXWELL

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MIKE ROGERS

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 11, 2006

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. 
Ellie Mae Maxwell, of Coosa County, Alabama. Ms. Maxwell turned 103 
years old on April 20th, which she celebrated with family and friends 
in her Kellyton home.
  From 1903 until today, Ms. Maxwell has lived a full life that has 
seen many transitions in our country's history. She remembers growing 
up as a witness to the introduction of cars, computers, and laundry 
machines. She enjoys reading the Bible and newspaper, both without her 
glasses, on a daily basis. A mother of eleven, she has inspired her 
family from her oldest child to her youngest great-great grandchild.
  I am proud to recognize Ms. Maxwell today in the House, and 
congratulate her on her 103rd birthday. I wish her the best and many 
more enjoyable times with her family and friends.

                          ____________________
