_______

A concurrent RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 
NAME the portion of Fred Nash boulevard from its north end to its intersection 
with Harrelson BOULEVARD in Horry County "Cornelia Brigham Intersection" AND 
ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS LOCATION CONTAINING THE DESIGNATION.

Whereas, a native of Florence 
County, Cornelia Thompson Brigham was born in 1916. She married her husband, 
Guy Brigham, and the couple moved to Horry County; and

Whereas, a devout 
Christian, Mrs. Brigham was a godly woman who was active in her church and 
community. She lived a faithful life to God and served as a pillar in her 
community. She said that without God she could not have survived; and

Whereas, her husband, 
Guy Brigham, passed away in 1951, leaving her a widow at the age of thirty-two 
with eight children. She never remarried, and never learned to drive a car, but 
she worked hard every day of her life to raise her children to become adults of 
whom she was very proud; and

Whereas, Mrs. Brigham 
often walked to work at Lakewood Elementary School, where she worked diligently 
in the school's lunchroom; and

Whereas, in 1981, at 
the age of sixty-five, Mrs. Brigham was tragically hit and killed by a drunk 
driver while walking near the intersection of Fred Nash Boulevard and Harrelson 
Boulevard; and

Whereas, Mrs. Brigham leaves 
to cherish her memory her three children, James Brigham, Jean Brigham, and Monnie 
Tanner; as well as many other relatives and friends; and

Whereas, it would be 
only fitting and proper to pay tribute to this daughter of South Carolina by 
naming a portion of road in the State in her 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 Fred Nash Boulevard from its 
north end to its intersection with Harrelson Boulevard in Horry County 
"Cornelia Brigham Intersection" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this 
location containing the designation.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation 
and presented to the family of Cornelia Brigham.
