Whereas, the Honorable Hoyt Jackson was born in and a lifelong resident of Dillon County; and

Whereas, he was the son of Shell and Lila Dillon Jackson, the father of two daughters, and the great, great nephew of James W. Dillon, the founder of Dillon County; and

Whereas, Mr. Jackson was an avid politician who served as a Dillon County Commissioner for a number of years, and a successful businessman who operated a farm and spent his entire life in the wholesale/retail grocery business; and

Whereas, he was a member of the Mackey Lodge #77, Woodmen of the World, South Carolina Defense Force during World War II, and served as a Civil Defense Air Raid Warden; and

Whereas, Mr. Jackson was a faithful and active member of Dillon First Baptist Church for fifty-three years where he served on numerous committees; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper to forever recognize the many accomplishments of this son of South Carolina by having a road in Dillon 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 Black Branch Road in Dillon County "Hoyt Jackson Memorial Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this road that contain the words "Hoyt Jackson Memorial Highway".

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