A concurrent RESOLUTION

to request the department of transportation name the bridge that crosses the lumber river along united states highway 76 and south carolina highway 9 at the border of marion and horry counties "plan lanneau elvington, sr. memorial bridge" and erect appropriate signs or markers at this location containing these words.

Whereas, born in Horry County on December 3, 1903, Plan Lanneau Elvington, Sr., was a son of Adolphus and Margaret Catherine Elvington. He was a 1926 graduate of Pee Dee Baptist Academy and went on to attend Clemson College; and

Whereas, after college he devoted his life to a career as a farmer and agricultural leader in the Pee Dee area. In 1937, he was named to the Clemson Alumni Association's Scroll of Honor for distinguished agricultural services. He was named Farmer of the Year in 1952 and was a member of the US Department of Agriculture Committee. Mr. Elvington served as chairman of the Grange Tobacco Commission in 1955, was recognized as a Rural Electrification Minuteman in 1959, was a member of the American Tobacco Tax Council of Richmond, Virginia, in 1965, and the Master Farm Homemakers Guild in 1955. He also received the Goodyear Conservation Association Certificate of Merit for Outstanding Service; and

Whereas, he served on the board of directors of the Production Credit Association from 1937 to 1979 and became director emeritus of the board in 1979. Mr. Elvington also served on the board of directors of the Horry Electric Coop and the state AAA Production Market Association; and

Whereas, a community servant and a man of faith, Mr. Elvington was on the deacon board of Wannamaker Baptist Church for more than fifty years, serving a year as chairman, he was a trustee of Floyds High School for forty years, and was a Golden Anniversary Mason of Little Pee Dee Masonic Lodge 83; and

Whereas, throughout his career he was supported by his wife, Nava Rowell Elvington. They were the proud parents of four sons and two daughters who blessed them with fifteen grandchildren. Following a life well lived, Mr. Elvington peacefully passed away May 2, 1986, at the venerable age of eighty-two; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to honor Mr. Plan Lanneau Elvington, a man who devoted himself to his family, church, and community by naming a bridge on the border of Marion and Horry counties in his memory. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request the Department of Transportation name the bridge that crosses the Lumber River along United States Highway 76 and South Carolina Highway 9 at the border of Marion and Horry counties "Plan Lanneau Elvington, Sr. Memorial Bridge" and erect appropriate signs or markers at this location containing these words.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
