125TH ANNIVERSARY OF COLMAN, SD -- (Senate - September 06, 2005)

Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize Colman, SD. The town of Colman will celebrate the 125th anniversary of its founding this year.

Located in Moody County, Colman was founded when the Milwaukee railroad extended its line reaching the town in 1880. It was originally known as Sankey and then Allentown. The city eventually changed its name to Colman in honor of the Colman Lumber Company, a local business.

I would like to offer my congratulations to Colman on their anniversary and I wish them continued prosperity in the years to come.
