Mrs. Mary Lou Walls was born in Jackson
County in 1917, and attended school in Talmo and Swanee. She moved
to Milstead with her parents in 1928, and two years later began her
continuous employment with the Company.
She was the first employee to
be presented the 25-year award in 1958, having received it on
January 31.
For 25 years Mary Lou has been
an efficient employee. During these years she has worked only in the
Spinning.
In 1937, Mary Lou married
Chester Walls, who is with the Ford Motor Company in Hapeville.
They have two sons, Edward, the oldest, is serving with the
U. S. Air Force, stationed at Donaldson Air Force Base, South
Carolina. Chester Lee attends school in Conyers.
Mary Lou and Chester own an
attractive home on Old Covington Road in Conyers. Both of them are
members of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, where Mary Lou is a teacher in
Sunday School, and is President of the Adult Training Union.
When the work at the Plant is
over for the day, Mary Lou attends to her household duties. She
takes a lot of pride in her yard. In the evening she enjoys reading
and watching her favorite television programs.
