A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE BRIDGE LOCATED ON EADDY FORD ROAD IN THE VOX COMMUNITY IN FLORENCE COUNTY "MARVIN D. STONE BRIDGE" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS BRIDGE THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS "MARVIN D. STONE BRIDGE".
Whereas, Mr. Marvin D. Stone was born in Johnsonville, South Carolina, in 1902 and died in 1977; and
Whereas, he was a member of the Vox United Methodist Church where he served as treasurer for twenty years; and
Whereas, he was a member of the Leo Masonic Lodge for forty-five years, trustee of the Vox and Johnsonville Schools, founder and Director of the Florence County Farm Bureau, and Director of the Johnsonville State Bank; and
Whereas, Mr. Stone was the founder, owner, and operator of S. S. Milling Company of Hemmingway and the founder, owner, and operator of Farmers Union Stockyard of Johnsonville; and
Whereas, he served as a State Soil Conservation District Supervisor, and was one of the largest tobacco farmers in Florence County; and
Whereas, during a flood in 1945, he saved the bridge, crossing the old forge joining his homestead, from floating away by tying off the bridge with barbed wire; and
Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to name the existing bridge at this location in his honor as a lasting tribute to his love for and dedication to the people of his community and Florence County. 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 bridge located on Eaddy Ford Road in the Vox community in Florence County "Marvin D. Stone Bridge" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this bridge that contain the words "Marvin D. Stone Bridge".
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
