Speaker, on September 7, 2017, the Philhower family
will have its 100th annual family reunion. I am proud to join my fellow
family members in celebrating this very special occasion. My great-
grandmother was Elizabeth Philhower Lance. The Philhowers were some of the earliest settlers of Hunterdon
County, New Jersey. The patriarch of the Philhower family was Philip
Wulhauer, who emigrated from Germany on the ship the Patience, landing
in the port of Philadelphia on September 16, 1738, at the age of 24. He
met his wife, Anna Maria, on their voyage to the Colonies. Together
they traveled to Hunterdon County, New Jersey, to start a new life.
