                      Thursday, September 24, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate the Overholtzer Family of Southwest Iowa, who celebrated 
their family's 92nd family reunion on August 2, 2015.
  The Overholtzers will assemble in Tingley, Iowa in Ringgold County to 
celebrate the family tradition as they have continued to do for the 
past 92 years. Four Overholtzer brothers settled in the Grand River 
area of Decatur County, Iowa in the 1870s. David Overholtzer's 
daughter, Olivia, is the 6th generation of Overholtzers to live in 
Iowa.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the Overholtzer Family for 92 years of 
tradition and commitment to their family. What a fantastic preservation 
of family history. I am proud to represent them in the United States 
Congress and I know that my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives will join me in congratulating the Overholtzer Family 
and wishing them nothing but continued success.
