REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO RENAME THE NORTH FISHTRAP ROAD BRIDGE (SC 37) IN PICKENS COUNTY IN HONOR OF THE LATE SAMUEL H. LUSK.
Whereas, Samuel Lusk resided in the Crosswell Community from his birth in 1892 until his passing in 1986 and still has immediate family members living in the area; and
Whereas, his selfless service to the citizens of the Crosswell Community included twenty years service on the Crosswell School Board retiring as chairman emeritus, co-president of the PTA, and deacon of George's Creek Baptist Church; and
Whereas, he was instrumental in early infrastructure development of the community by initiating telephone and utility service to the area, planning for the expansion of the present Crosswell Elementary School, and providing the property for the National Cash Register Company to locate its facility in Liberty providing many jobs for the citizens of the area; and
Whereas, he formed his own construction company which was responsible for building many of the early bridges and roads in our State, assisted in the development of North Fishtrap Road to the current site of the new bridge, built the support structures for the railroad bridge over George's Creek and the Saluda River in the early 1900's, and built the support structures, bridges, and culverts for the new Southern Railway running through the Crosswell Community; and
Whereas, he was truly a distinguished South Carolinian who gave most generously of his time and talents to the Crosswell Community for many years, and it would be appropriate that his many contributions be recognized by renaming the new bridge on North Fishtrap Road in Easley in his honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, requests the Department of Transportation to take the necessary steps to rename the new bridge on North Fishtrap Road (SC 37) the Samuel H. Lusk Bridge.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation and presented to descendants of Mr. Lusk at the appropriate time.
