LAWRENCE K. GROOMS for Committee.

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PORTION OF HIGHWAY IN BERKELEY COUNTY FROM THE INTERSECTION OF N.A.D.

Whereas, Retired Berkeley County Sheriff Matthew Cleveland "M.C." Cannon, Jr., was born on July 2, 1925, in Goose Creek and died on July 11, 2010; and

Whereas, he was the son of Matthew C. Cannon, Sr., and Alberta Claire Brown Cannon; and

Whereas, Sheriff Cannon was survived by his wife Aileen Forte Cannon and two daughters, two sons, three stepsons, and a host of other relatives; and

Whereas, he was a distinguished United States Navy veteran, served as a Berkeley County Magistrate for thirty-four years, and was a former Chairman of the Board and member of the board of Berkeley Electric Cooperative for over fifty years; and

Whereas, he was a life member of the American Legion, the Sheriff's Association, and a member of the Fraternal Order of Police; and

Whereas, he was a faithful member of Smyrna United Methodist Church who enjoyed farming and horseback riding; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to forever remember the life and service of this great son of South Carolina by having a portion of highway in Berkeley 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 that the Department of Transportation name the portion of highway in Berkeley County from the intersection of N.A.D. Road and Goose Creek Road to the intersection of Old State Road and Red Bank Road "M.C. Cannon Memorial Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signage along this portion of highway that contain this designation.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
