TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO

ORANGEBURG COUNTY FROM INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 26
TO UNITED STATES HIGHWAY 178 BYPASS IN HONOR OF
THE HONORABLE MARSHALL BURNS WILLIAMS.
Whereas, the Honorable Marshall Burns Williams was born on
January 17, 1912 in Norway, South Carolina; and
Whereas, he was the son of C. H. and Maude Williams of
Orangeburg, South Carolina; and
Whereas, Senator Williams earned a B.S. degree from the University
of South Carolina in 1933, an LL.B. degree from the University of
South Carolina in 1936, had a J.D. degree conferred by the
University of South Carolina in 1970, and received an Honorary
Doctorate of Laws degree from South Carolina State University in
1989; and
Whereas, he married Margaret Shecut in 1942 and together reared
four children; and
Whereas, among the many outstanding achievements Senator
Williams accomplished during his lifetime, were his service as
President of the South Carolina Young Democrats Club, a Fellow of
the American College of Trial Lawyers, and a member of the
American and South Carolina Bar Associations; and
Whereas, he was a World War II veteran, having served in the United
States Naval Air Corps from 1942 to 1946 and having attained the
rank of Lieutenant Commander; and
Whereas, he served in the South Carolina House of Representatives
from 1947 to 1952; and
Whereas, he served in the South Carolina Senate from 1953 until his
death on December 28, 1995; and
Whereas, during his distinguished career in the South Carolina
Senate, Senator Williams served as Chairman of the Senate Medical
Affairs Committee, Chairman of the Senate Banking and Insurance
Committee, and Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee; and
Whereas, Senator Williams served as President Pro Tempore of the
Senate from January 10, 1989 until his death; and
Whereas, at the time of his death, he was the longest serving state
senator in the United States; and
Whereas, it is fitting and proper that the portion of United States
Highway 301 in Orangeburg County from Interstate Highway 26
continuing to the United States Highway 178 Bypass be named
"Marshall B. Williams Boulevard" as a lasting tribute to this
distinguished South Carolinian. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate
concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly request that the
Department of Transportation designate and name the portion of
United States Highway 301 in Orangeburg County for the late
Marshall B. Williams described in this resolution the "Marshall B.
Williams Boulevard" and install appropriate markers or signs at
places along the highway as the department considers advisable
containing the words "Marshall B. Williams Boulevard".
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to
the Department of Transportation and the family of the Honorable
Marshall B. Williams.
