                      Wednesday, December 7, 2011

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I would like to request the 
House's attention today to pay recognition to the special life of Ruby 
Hartley Barton of Talladega, Alabama.
  Mrs. Barton was born on December 15, 1911 in Georgia to James and 
Victoria Hartley. Mrs. Barton's father died while she was a baby, and 
her mother raised her and her six brothers and sisters. Mrs. Barton 
grew up in a fanning and textile family.
  She was married to the late B.W. Barton for over 50 years and was 
blessed with two sons, Charles D. Barton and Larry H. Barton and one 
daughter, Edith Barton Bishop. Mrs. Barton now has three grandchildren, 
three great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild.
  Mrs. Barton worked at Bemis Mills for close to 40 years and has spent 
her life serving God and volunteering in her church as a Sunday School 
teacher, choir director and pianist.
  On December 15th, her friends and family will celebrate her birthday 
in her room at Talladega Health Care in Talladega. Today I would like 
to wish Mrs. Ruby Hartley Barton a very Happy 100th Birthday.
