                       Monday, November 15, 2010

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I would like to request the 
House's attention today to pay recognition to Della O. Webb who 
celebrated her 103rd birthday September 15th.
  Ms. Webb was born into a family of eight brothers. Her father was a 
sharecropper. She was raised in Alexandria, Alabama where she helped 
pick cotton and walked three miles to school every day.
  Della married the late Ira W. Webb on October 21, 1923, and raised 
four children: Donald, Margaret, Doris and Judy in Blue Mountain. Ira 
worked in the local pipe shop and Della worked at Blue Mountain Cotton 
Mill and later in the school lunch room.
  She attended church at Edgewood Church in Blue Mountain, and later 
helped start Saks Baptist Church where she was active in her Sunday 
school class and the quilting group.
  I wish Ms. Webb a very happy birthday and many more.
