  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I submit the following 
proclamation:
  Whereas, One hundred five years ago a virtuous woman of God was born 
in Buena Vista, Alabama on July 1, 1907; and
  Whereas, Mrs. Julia Ann Snell was born Julia Ann Holt to Mr. Daniel 
and Mrs. Irean Holt, she was educated in the local school system in 
Alabama, married Mr. Tim Wilson in Mobile, Alabama and was a homemaker 
and a store clerk at their grocery store until Mr. Wilson preceded her 
in death; She later married Mr. Nathaniel Snell and lived in California 
until Mr. Snell preceded her in death, after Mr. Snell's passing, she 
moved backed to Mobile, Alabama and eventually to Decatur, Georgia; and
  Whereas, this Phenomenal Proverbs 31 woman has shared her time and 
talents as a Wife, Sister, Aunt and Motivator, giving the citizens of 
Georgia a person of great worth, a fearless leader and a servant to all 
who wants to advance the lives of others; and
  Whereas, Mrs. Snell has been blessed with a long, happy life, devoted 
to God and credits it all to the Will of God; and
  Whereas, Mrs. Snell along with her family and friends are celebrating 
this day a remarkable milestone, her 105th Birthday, we pause to 
acknowledge a woman who is a cornerstone in our community in DeKalb 
County, Georgia; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to honor and recognize Mrs. Snell on her 
birthday and to wish her well and recognize her for an exemplary life 
which is an inspiration to all;
  Now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr., do hereby proclaim 
July 1, 2012 as Mrs. Julia Ann Snell Day in the 4th Congressional 
District of Georgia.
  Proclaimed, this 1st day of July, 2012.
