A congruence of Emma Lehmer (1938) for Euler numbers $E_{p-3}$ modulo $p$ in terms of a certain sum of reciprocals of squares of integers was recently extended to prime power moduli by T. Cai et al. We generalize this further to arbitrary composite moduli $n$ and characterize those $n$ for which the sum in question vanishes modulo $n$ (or modulo $n/3$ when $3\,|\, n$). Primes for which $E_{p-3}\equiv 0\pmod{p}$ play an important role, and we present some numerical results.
