  Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
remarkable 100th birthday of Edith Scheidemantel Pickering.
  Edith was born to Charles and Agnes Scheidemantel on August 15, 1916 
in Lennox, MO. Edith attended and graduated Black Oak School in Lennox 
and was baptized on October 17, 1947 at the First Baptist Church in 
Salem. She was married to Raymond Pickering with whom she shares three 
beloved children, Barbara, Martha and Sam. She also has five 
grandchildren, Anita, David, Melissa, Dan and Mark.
  Edith has achieved a great milestone in her life by celebrating her 
100th birthday. She is a woman of character and is greatly beloved to 
all who know her. She has displayed great love for her church and her 
family throughout her long life. She has been an extremely beneficial 
member to our society and with that it is my pleasure to recognize 
Edith before the United States House of Representatives.
