  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
memory of Chancery Court Judge Talmadge Littlejohn of New Albany, 
Mississippi who joined his Heavenly Father on Monday, October 26, 2015.
  Judge Littlejohn had a long, distinguished career as a public 
servant, including service as a district attorney, state legislator, 
and chancery court judge.
  He served in our state house from 1960 to 1964 and the state senate 
from 1964 to 1968. In 2010 he was honored by the Mississippi Bar for 
his 50 years of practicing law. He was in his fourth term as a judge in 
the First Chancery Court District of Mississippi, which includes 
Alcorn, Itawamba, Lee, Monroe, Pontotoc, Prentiss, Tishomingo, and 
Union counties.
  Judge Littlejohn always conducted himself as a selfless public 
servant dedicated to fulfilling any task that was assigned to him.
  He was an active member of First Baptist Church of New Albany, where 
he faithfully served as a deacon and Sunday school teacher. Judge 
Littlejohn was a man of family, faith, and a servant of God.
  He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Julia Gray Littlejohn; his 
daughters, Lisa Gault (Phil) of Huntsville, Alabama and Christy Adair 
(Avery) of New Albany; his son, Bradley Littlejohn (Morgan) also of New 
Albany; his six grandchildren, Phillip Gault, Justin Gault, Katie 
Allison Gault, Julianne Littlejohn, Gray Littlejohn, and Ivy 
Littlejohn; one sister, Ivy

Jean Weeden (John) of New Harmony; one aunt, Elaine Pannell of New 
Albany; and many nieces and nephews.
  My thoughts and prayers are with Judge Littlejohn's family and 
friends during this difficult time.
