VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO CONGRATULATE THE TOWN OF HEMINGWAY ON ITS ONE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY.
Whereas, in 1732, the King of England gave the first land grants to a group of Scotch-Irish settlers who had made their way up the Black River to the area now known as Williamsburg County; and
Whereas, in 1880, B.G. Lambert owned considerable land in the northeastern portion of Williamsburg County. He operated a general store at the junction of Stage Coach Road and Kingstree Road; and
Whereas, the Hemingway family eventually succeeded the Lambert family as the major land owner. When the Seaboard Railway came through, it connected Lamberts to other areas and businesses began to establish; and
Whereas, a petition for a charter for the town was filed with the Secretary of State on February 18, 1914. The town received its charter on June 22, 1914 and was named Hemingway in honor of Dr. W.C. Hemingway, whose leadership led to its development. 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, congratulate the Town of Hemingway on its one hundredth anniversary.
