A JOINT RESOLUTION
TO PROVIDE THAT THE KERSHAW COUNTY COUNCIL SHALL
PREPARE THE APPROPRIATE IDENTIFYING SIGN AND
SCHEDULE A CEREMONY FOR THE NAMING OF THE
BUILDING WHICH HOUSES THE KERSHAW COUNTY SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT AT 609 LAFAYETTE AVENUE IN CAMDEN AS
THE "DEBRUHL BUILDING".
Whereas, South Carolina recently lost one of its most respected law
enforcement officers when Louis L. "Hector" DeBruhl died
in Camden at the age of fifty-seven; and
Whereas, Hector DeBruhl was first elected Sheriff of Kershaw County
in November, 1966 and served continuously until his retirement last
year. He was the youngest sheriff in the State when he was first elected,
served longer than any sheriff in the history of Kershaw County, and
was the senior sheriff in South Carolina at the time of his retirement; and
Whereas, during his thirty-four year career in law enforcement, he
rightfully earned a reputation as an officer who worked on the front line,
who was fearless, and who had complete integrity; and
Whereas, Sheriff DeBruhl was the son of a former sheriff of Kershaw
County, Gilliam B. "Gib" DeBruhl, who was elected sheriff
in 1946 and served until his death in July, 1951; and
Whereas, like his son , Gib DeBruhl's twenty-five year career as a law
enforcement officer before his untimely death was a source of pride for
Kershaw County and South Carolina, and certainly set high standards
which his son later emulated during his tenure as sheriff; and
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly believe that it would be
a fitting tribute to this outstanding Kershaw County family if the sheriff's
office building in the county were named in their honor. Now, therefore,
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The Kershaw County Council shall prepare the
appropriate identifying sign and schedule a ceremony for the naming of
the building which houses the Kershaw County Sheriff's Department at
609 Lafayette Avenue in Camden as the "Debruhl Building".
SECTION 2. This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the
Governor.
