ACONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PORTION OF SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 51 IN FLORENCE COUNTY THAT RUNS TWO HUNDRED YARDS NORTH AND TWO HUNDRED YARDS SOUTH OF ELIZABETH BAPTIST CHURCH “REVEREND SOLOMON EADDY, SR. HIGHWAY” AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ALONG THIS PORTION OF HIGHWAY THAT CONTAIN THIS DESIGNATION.

Whereas, The Reverend Solomon Eaddy, Sr., is the son of the late Reverend Anthony Eaddy and Mrs. Beaulah Barr Eaddy; and

Whereas, he and his wife, Mrs. Susanna Law Eaddy, reared four children and have a host of grandchildren and greatgrandchildren; and

Whereas, Reverend Eaddy received his Bachelor of Theology degree from Morris College in Sumter; and

Whereas, Reverend Eaddy served as pastor of several congregations, including pastor of Mount Carmel Baptist Church in Timmonsville for more than fortyfive years; pastor of Elizabeth Baptist Church in Florence County for fifty years; and pastor of Mount Tabor Baptist Church in Evergreen for four years; and

Whereas, he served his country with distinction as a member of the United States Navy for five years; and

Whereas, Reverend Eaddy has received numerous honors and awards for his unselfish commitment to doing the will of God throughout the Pee Dee Region of this State; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to forever recognize the accomplishments of this son of South Carolina by having a portion of South Carolina Highway 51 in Florence County named in his honor. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly request the Department of Transportation name the portion of South Carolina Highway 51 in Florence County that runs two hundred yards north and two hundred yards south of Elizabeth Baptist Church “Reverend Solomon Eaddy, Sr. Highway” and erect appropriate markers or signs along this portion of highway that contain this designation.

Be it further resolved that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation and to the Eaddy family.
