Whereas, Mr. Lumley served with distinction in World War II as an officer in the United States Army; and

Whereas, he was married to Camille Jennings Lumley and together they raised their family and farmed on land purchased by his family in 1850; and

Whereas, during Mr. Lumley's ninety-four years and lifetime of farming he experienced dramatic changes in farming technology but stayed abreast with the changing times and successfully farmed his entire life in his native community; and

Whereas, he began farming in the early 1900's as a cotton farmer and became a dairy farmer in the mid 1930's and a beef and cattle farmer in the mid 1970's; and

Whereas, Mr. Lumley was named the Greenwood Agriculturist of the Year in 1980, and at the age of ninety he received the Agriculture Pioneer Award from the Clemson Extension Service; and

Whereas, Mr. Harold Lumley, Sr. was an outstanding agriculturist who was greatly admired and respected for his contributions to the advancement of agriculture in South Carolina, his generosity to fellow farmers, and his leadership in the farming community. Now, therefore,
