  Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Bank of 
Edmonson County for 100 years of service to its local community.
  Founded on October 5, 1925, by brothers Jesse, Luther, and David 
Alexander alongside business paltners George Woodcock and N.E. (Ed) 
Vincent, this local financial institution has served the residents of 
Edmonson County well for a century. Their foresight during the 1920's, 
followed quickly by the trials of the Great Depression, laid the 
foundation for a community-focused institution that has not only 
endured but thrived. The Bank of Edmonson County has guided its 
customers through economic shifts, new technologies, and changing 
conditions with one main mission in mind: ensuring customers are its 
highest priority
  Established with the goal of building a local bank to serve as a 
pillar of trust and local investment, 100 years later, they continue to 
focus on supporting Edmonson County and the surrounding area 
faithfully.
  From its humble beginnings with just $15,000 in capital, the bank has 
grown into a $200 million enterprise, with locations in multiple 
counties in Kentucky. I congratulate the
