    <remarks>This report on Form 4/A amends the reporting person's report on Form 4 dated and filed on August 31, 2016, which, due to a clerical error, incorrectly reported 43,589.6064 shares of $2.50 par value common stock as owned directly by the reporting person. This report is filed solely to correctly report the reporting person's ownership of 43,589.6064 shares of $2.50 par value common stock as indirect, with the shares owned by a 401(k) plan.</remarks>
