   04/27/99  Senate Introduced, adopted, returned with concurrence SJ-16

TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA TO THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF THE HONORABLE NEWTON CHARLES TAYLOR, A FORMER MEMBER OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM CHEROKEE COUNTY.

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly were saddened to learn of the death of Newton C. Taylor of Gaffney, on April 21, 1999, at the age of seventy-eight; and

Whereas, born in Gaffney on August 29, 1920, he was the son of the late Lewis A. and Venia McDaniel Taylor; and

Whereas, he graduated from Cowpens High School and took further business courses in the 1950's; and

Whereas, Mr. Taylor's occupation was manufacturing mattresses, and he was a co-owner of the Sleep-Easy Mattress Company; and

Whereas, Mr. Taylor served his country with honor with his military service; in World War II he was a member of Company B of the 337th Infantry, 85th Division from October 1942 until October 1945; and

Whereas, on March 17, 1946, Newton C. Taylor married Mary Pettit Blanton of Gaffney, who survives him; of this fifty-three year-long blessed union were born two children, Steve of Gaffney and Mary Martha Carter of Goose Creek and now, two grandchildren; and

Whereas, in addition to leaving his wife of the home, children, and grandchildren, Mr. Taylor is survived by two brothers, Cecil of Charlotte and Carroll of Prescott, Minnesota, and four sisters, Vera Taylor of Shelby, North Carolina, Katherine Barnette of Spartanburg, Kaye Bramlett of Valdese, North Carolina, and Becky Scruggs of Gaffney; and

Whereas, he was a member of the First Baptist Church of Gaffney and in fact, the Howard Sunday School Class served as his honorary pallbearers; and

Whereas, Mr. Taylor was a very active member in his community; he was a member of the Masons, Lions Club, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the American Legion, and he was a Shriner; and

Whereas, public service held its attraction to Mr. Taylor also, as he served with distinction in the House of Representatives from 1955-56 and 1967-70; and

Whereas, Newton C. Taylor's death represents a tremendous loss to Gaffney, Cherokee County, and the State of South Carolina, and we want the members of his family and many friends to know that they are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina extend their deepest sympathy to the family and many friends of the Honorable Newton C. Taylor, former member of the South Carolina House of Representatives from Cherokee County.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the family of the Honorable Newton C. Taylor.
