  Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
remarkable 100th birthday of Tressie Elizabeth Butt Humphrey. Tressie 
was born to Henry Clay Butt and Zelma Josephine Slownesky Butt on May 
3, 1918.
  A 1936 graduate of Steelville High School, she married the late 
Luther Theodore Humphrey with whom she shares two children, Loretta Mae 
and Selma Jean, as well as six grandchildren, eighteen great-
grandchildren, and nineteen great-great-grandchildren. Tressie is a 
former teacher of the Slowensky one-room school house, a lifetime 
member of the Order of the Eastern Star of Missouri, and the owner of a 
Missouri Century Farm.
   Tressie has achieved a great milestone in her life by celebrating 
her 100th birthday. She is a woman of character and is greatly beloved 
by all who know her. She has displayed exceptional leadership, 
contributing greatly to our society throughout her years. For all of 
these reasons and many more, it is my pleasure to recognize Tressie 
before the United States House of Representatives.
