A concurrent RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION NAME THE INTERSECTION OF CHERAW ROAD AND PARK ROAD IN THE TOWN
OF CASSATT IN KERSHAW COUNTY "THOMAS C. CLARK AND AUDREE A. CLARK INTERSECTION"
AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS LOCATION CONTAINING THE
DESIGNATION.

W
hereas, Thomas Ceasar Clark Sr. was a dedicated
resident and homeowner of Kershaw County from 1947 until his passing in 1981. A
veteran of the United States Army, he faithfully served his country during
World War II; and

W
hereas, Mr.
Clark married Audree Adamson Clark, and together they became the proud parents
of eight children, seven daughters and one son, building a strong family rooted
in faith, perseverance, and community; and

W
hereas, Mr.
Clark worked diligently to provide for his family, owning and operating a
pullet farm on more than fourteen acres in Cassatt, becoming known as one of
the first pullet farmers in the Cassatt community. In addition, he produced and
sold vegetables at the Columbia Farmers Market, further contributing to local
agriculture and commerce; and

W
hereas,
committed to personal growth and education, Mr. Clark earned his GED through
night classes at Hickman School in Cassatt. Alongside his wife and children, he
plowed, cultivated, and maintained his land, establishing a legacy of hard work
and self-sufficiency; and

W
hereas, the
Clark family has lived, worked, and built their lives in Kershaw County for
more than a century. Though the property is no longer a pullet farm, it remains
a lasting testament to the family's heritage and to the enduring spirit and
values instilled by Mr. and Mrs. Clark; and

W
hereas, a
devout Christian, Mr. Clark was a member of Canty Hill Baptist Church, where he
served as a trustee; and Mrs. Clark was a committed member of Hyco Baptist
Church, where she faithfully served as missionary president for forty years.
Together, they attributed their achievements to their unwavering faith and to
placing God first in their lives, values they passed on to their children and
grandchildren; and

W
hereas, it
would be only fitting and proper to honor the remarkable lives, service, and
contributions of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas C. Clark Sr. by naming an intersection in
Kershaw County in recognition of their lasting impact on their community. Now,
therefore,

B
e 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 intersection of Cheraw Road and Park Road in the
Town of Cassatt in Kershaw County "Thomas C. Clark and Audree A. Clark
Intersection" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this location
containing the designation.

B
e it further
resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of
Transportation and presented to the Clark family.
