The fateful accident occurred between Abbeville and Calhoun Falls when the patrolman swerved off of the highway to miss a collision with an approaching truck. Corporal Yonce was severely burned from the waist down and suffered from a broken leg. He died several days later as a result of his injuries. He was forty-three; and

Whereas, Corporal Yonce was a native of Johnston in Edgefield County. He attended Johnston High School and was a 1939 graduate of Newberry College; and

Whereas, Corporal Yonce had been a member of the State Highway Patrol since 1939. He was the corporal-in-charge of license examination for his patrol district and was on his way to conduct driver license examinations when the tragic accident occurred; and

Whereas, Corporal Yonce left behind a wife, Anne Williams and two daughters, Nancy and Emilie; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper to pay tribute to this fallen law enforcement officer by naming a portion of United States Highway 25/221 in his honor. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request that the Department of Transportation name the portion of United States Highway 25/221 Bypass in Greenwood County from the intersection of United States Highway 25/221 and United States Highway 25/178, South of the City of Greenwood, Northeasterly to the intersection of United States Highway 25/221 and State Road 101 (Sweetwater Road) "SCHP Corporal Henry Clyde Yonce Highway" and erect appropriate markers and signs along this portion of highway that contain the words "SCHP Corporal Henry Clyde Yonce Highway".
