  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mrs. 
Mattie Mae Amos-Marshall, who was born in a small community in 
Florence, Mississippi called Steen Creek on October 15, 1915 to the 
late Mr. Ben and Salle White-Amos.
  Mrs. Marshall married her childhood sweetheart, the late Mr. Jessie 
Marshall, at the age of 18 and moved to Flora, Mississippi where she 
began a family of her own.

  Mrs. Marshall was baptized at a young age at Stokes Chapel MB Church 
and later moved her membership to Jones Chapel MB Church where she is a 
member of the Mother's Board. Mrs. Marshall moved to Canton, 
Mississippi as a child and was educated in the Madison County School.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Mother 
Mattie Mae Amos-Marshall.
