  Mr. AUSTRIA. Madam Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the 
constituents of Ohio's 7th Congressional District to congratulate and 
recognize Rachel Knaub on the extraordinary event of her 100th Birthday 
on October 4, 2009.
  Born in Greene County, Rachel has lived in Ohio her entire life. She 
has resided in many different communities in the state including, 
Pitchen, Clifton, Springfield, and Cedarville.
  Throughout her life, Rachel Knaub has been a proud farmer's wife. She 
spent 52 years happily married to her husband, Ralph, who passed away 
in 1992. Rachel is also a proud and active member in the 5th Lutheran 
Church.
  Reaching 100 years of age is truly a great and significant milestone 
and for that reason, Rachel deserves our congratulations.
