  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Ms. Mayme Cohron on the occasion of her 100th birthday on 
August 28, 2018.
  Mayme was born in Bolivar, Missouri to parents, Joe and Josie Skarda 
and grew up on a farm in Ringgold County, Iowa. She and her siblings 
attended country school and Mayme became a school teacher in Union 
County. She later became vice president of a bank

and worked in the insurance industry. While she had considerable 
success as a businesswoman, she considers raising her children and 
making it on her own after the death of her husband her greatest 
accomplishment.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent Mayme Cohron in the United 
States Congress and it is my pleasure to wish her a very happy 100th 
birthday. I invite my colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives 
to join me in congratulating Mayme on reaching this incredible 
milestone and in wishing her even more health and happiness in the 
years to come.
