A Concurrent Resolution to extend the deepest sympathy of the members and the
employees of the General Assembly to the family and many friends of the
Honorable Clyde Moultrie Dangerfield of the Isle of Palms, South Carolina, who
died Wednesday, June 19, 1996, as he was being transported to East Cooper
Hospital via the Clyde M. Dangerfield Bridge.
06/27/96 House Introduced, adopted, sent to Senate HJ-3
A CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION
TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY OF THE MEMBERS
AND EMPLOYEES OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO THE
FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS OF THE HONORABLE
CLYDE MOULTRIE DANGERFIELD OF THE ISLE OF PALMS,
SOUTH CAROLINA, WHO DIED WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19,
1996, AS HE WAS BEING TRANSPORTED TO EAST COOPER
HOSPITAL VIA THE CLYDE M. DANGERFIELD BRIDGE.
Whereas, Clyde Moultrie Dangerfield was born in Oakley, in
Berkeley County, South Carolina, on February 24, 1915, a son of
the late Obie J. and Abbie Locklair Dangerfield, Sr., who were one
of the State's last rice farmers; and
Whereas, a graduate of Berkeley High School, Moncks Corner, he
attended Clemson College, answering the call of the United States
Army for three years during World War II after which time he was
discharged honorably with the rank of staff sergeant on November
22, 1945, when he settled in Charleston; and
Whereas, he met his beloved Betty Pauline Nelson, and proceeded
to found Suburban Gas and Appliance Company, which he owned
for forty years; and
Whereas, he and Betty Nelson were married on November 17,
1946; and
Whereas, they moved to the then new Isle of Palms in April 1948,
where they raised their six children: Clyde M. Dangerfield, Jr., of
Mount Pleasant; Dolly D. Cannon, of Isle of Palms, Timothy
Nelson Dangerfield of Aiken; Shirley Ann Dangerfield of Mount
Pleasant; Susan Marie Waite of McClellanville; and David Allan
Dangerfield of Mount Pleasant; and
Whereas, among Mr. Dangerfield's chief concerns was that there
was no church established yet on the Island, and his first order of
business was to begin the process of acquiring a Methodist Church
and pastor. Isle of Palms United Methodist Church held a special
place in his heart over the years as he watched it grow, be
demolished by Hurricane Hugo, and rise from the ashes once more;
and
Whereas, Clyde Dangerfield, so active in so many civic causes, was
first elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives in a
special countywide election for Charleston County on September
15, 1953, and was reelected for eighteen consecutive terms,
attaining number one in seniority, retiring in 1988. He served
under nine Governors: Byrnes, Timmerman, Hollings, Russell,
McNair, West, Edwards, Riley, and Campbell, and in 1991 he
received an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters Degree from the
College of Charleston; and
Whereas, Mr. Dangerfield, even though quite active in legislative
matters--Chairman of the House Labor, Commerce and Industry
Committee, past chairman of the Charleston County Legislative
Delegation, chairman of the Delegation Roads Committee for
twenty-two years, and chairman of the Charleston Area
Transportation Study Policy Committee (CHATS) from its inception
until his retirement-- was instrumental in obtaining funds for the
construction of the Mark Clark Expressway (I-526) and the Isle of
Palms Connector, named in his honor. It was largely through his
efforts that many Charleston area wooden structured bridges have
been replaced; and
Whereas, Representative Dangerfield was a charter member and
volunteer captain (retired) of the Isle of Palms Volunteer Fire
Department; charter and lifemember and past president of the Isle
of Palms Exchange Club, organized in 1948, and he was the first to
receive the club's Book of Golden Deeds Award; a member of
American Legion Palmetto Post 112; founder and charter member
of the First United Methodist Church, Isle of Palms; he had served
as chairman of Boy Scout Troop 34, Isle of Palms. He was also a
Mason, a lifemember of Etiwan Lodge No. 95, Mount Pleasant
A.F.M.; and
Whereas, in addition to his beloved wife of fifty years, Betty
Nelson Dangerfield and their six children, Mr. Dangerfield is
survived by one brother, William Henry Dangerfield, and one sister,
Dessie D. Sabiston both of Oakley, as well as ten grandchildren.
Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate
concurring:
That, by this resolution, the members and employees of the General
Assembly extend their deepest sympathy to the many friends and
family of The Honorable Clyde Moultrie Dangerfield of the Isle of
Palms, South Carolina, upon the occasion of his death on June 19,
1996, as he was being transported to the East Cooper Hospital via
the Clyde M. Dangerfield Bridge.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to
Mrs. Clyde M. Dangerfield, Sr., of Isle of Pines, South Carolina.
