A CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION
TO CONGRATULATE JARRELL M. BROWN ON HIS FIFTIETH
ANNIVERSARY AT COWDEN PLANTATION IN JACKSON,
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Whereas, Jarrell M. Brown bought his first parcel of land at age twenty
and vowed to turn it into a mighty plantation, which now covers nearly
twelve thousand acres; and
Whereas, Cowden Plantation was royal grant land from the King of
England and it once belonged to the Hammond family of Redcliffe; and
Whereas, Cowden's name comes from a spot of ground where cattle
were penned up before shipment down the river to markets in Savannah,
Charleston, and other places; and
Whereas, the Whitneys, Vanderbilts, Von Stades, Meads, and other
wealthy northerners from the Aiken winter colony spent time shooting
quail, dove, and deer on what is now Cowden Plantation; and
Whereas, Mr. Brown's dream as a preservationist and a conservationist
is to leave Cowden Plantation an even better place; and
Whereas, Mr. Brown's wife, Thelma, planned a special anniversary
event that included wagons and carriages, gentlemen and ladies in
eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth century dress, a fox hunt, barbecue,
skeet shoot, and period fashion show; and
Whereas, the day long celebration on April 20, 1991, was attended by
hundreds of friends and neighbors from twelve or thirteen states; and
Whereas, Mr. Brown has spent fifty years building Cowden Plantation
into a huge farm and wildlife preserve with one hundred six miles of
roads stretching thirteen miles from its deepest point on the Savannah
River to South Carolina Highway 28, and filled with fields, pastures,
woodland, swamp, lakes, and streams. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly congratulate Jarrell M.
Brown on his Fiftieth Anniversary at Cowden Plantation in Jackson,
South Carolina.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mr.
Brown.
