                       Wednesday, March 30, 2011

  Mr. GERLACH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Sara 
Steinhauer of Douglassville, Berks County, Pennsylvania in recognition 
of her 105th birthday.
  Born near Skippack, Montgomery County on March 25th, 1906, Sara grew 
up on a farm in Skippack Township and attended public school through 
10th grade in a one-room schoolhouse. When she turned 19, Sara moved to 
Perkasie, Pennsylvania to begin her career as a seamstress with Wemen's 
Apparel, developing skills in ladies' fashion. She was later promoted 
to the position of floor lady which she maintained until her retirement 
in 1968.
  The eighth of thirteen children, Sara was blessed with twelve 
brothers and sisters. Her husband, George D. Steinhauer, passed in 1984 
after 57 happy years of marriage. Before moving to the distinctive 
retirement community of Villa at Morlatton, Sara lived in Telford, 
Pennsylvania for many of her retirement years and then an apartment in 
Pottstown, Pennsylvania near her nephew Leroy Fitzgerald.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me today in congratulating 
Sara Steinhauer on the occasion of her 105th birthday and extending her 
best wishes for continued health and happiness.
