A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE MARGARET SNODDY CULCLASURE OF SPARTANBURG COUNTY ON THE OCCASION OF HER ONE HUNDREDTH BIRTHDAY AND TO WISH HER A JOYOUS BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AND MUCH FUTURE HAPPINESS.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are delighted to learn that Margaret Snoddy Culclasure of Spartanburg County will celebrate her one hundredth birthday on May 21, 2018; and

Whereas, the third of five children born to Samuel Miller Snoddy and Leila Dunlap Snoddy, the young Margaret came into this world on May 21, 1918, when the twentieth century was still in its youth, and she has been witness to nearly all the incredible changes and developments that have come to this nation from that time into the second decade of the twenty-first century; and

Whereas, in 1772, Margaret's ancestors, John and Jane Snoddy, arrived in South Carolina from Ireland. Among the family members was three-year-old Isaac Snoddy, who founded Margaret's branch of the family. Members of the family have lived in the Welford area of Spartanburg County since that time and still live at the family-owned New Hope Farm, located at the intersection of what is now I-85 and State Highway 29. Margaret, in fact, was born in the Rogers House near the site of New Hope Farm; and

Whereas, also in 1772, the family helped in the formal organization of Nazareth Presbyterian Church, of which Margaret and her family are members today. Further, the family played a part in the Revolutionary War; and

Whereas, at the end of the Great Depression, Margaret graduated from WLT High School. There, she met classmate James Wesley Culclasure, whom she married on April 5, 1941. They settled in Greer, and James worked at Pacific Mills in Lyman; and

Whereas, James served in the United States Army during World War II, and Margaret went home to New Hope Farm. As did many women in wartime, Margaret worked at a job normally held by a male: driving a school bus; and

Whereas, James returned home, and a promotion from Pacific Mills took the couple to North Carolina. Margaret, a homemaker during this time, spent the latter part of her pregnancy at home in Spartanburg County and gave birth there to her only child, Ann. Promotions for James moved the family around in North Carolina before he became the personnel director for a division of Firestone Steel Products. This brought a move back to Spartanburg; and

Whereas, after James passed away in 1970, Margaret began a career with the Spartanburg County Library. Later, she moved to Union to be near her daughter and her grandchildren, Molly and Jay. Today, she resides with her daughter and her son-in-law, Tommy Campbell, in Spartanburg County. She delights in being the great-grandmother of Pressley Campbell, Shelby Barker, and Thomas Barker; and

Whereas, Margaret is still an active member of Nazareth Church and has been a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Huguenot Society. Her life has revolved around very active family and community services, such as Mobile Meals. She is still avidly learning and participating in the twenty-first century; and

Whereas, the House of Representatives is proud to honor this truly lovely lady at the celebration of her one hundredth birthday, and the members join with her family and friends in congratulating her on reaching this extraordinary milestone. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Margaret Snoddy Culclasure of Spartanburg County on the occasion of her one hundredth birthday and wish her a joyous birthday celebration and much future happiness.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Margaret Snoddy Culclasure.
