To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (S. 1289) to request the Department of Transportation to rename the interchange at Exit 101 on I-20 in Kershaw County the "Richard Thomas Holland Interchange" in honor of his children, etc., respectfully

RONALD N. FLEMING for Committee.
TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO RENAME THE INTERCHANGE AT EXIT 101 ON I-20 IN KERSHAW COUNTY THE "RICHARD THOMAS HOLLAND INTERCHANGE" IN HONOR OF HIS CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN, ONE OF WHOM IS SENATOR DONALD H. HOLLAND, AND HIS GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN.
Whereas, Richard Thomas Holland, the son of James R. Holland and Amanda Hyatt Holland, was born December 1, 1856; and
Whereas, he married Lilly Vermelle English, the daughter of Thomas and Mary English, in 1877; and
Whereas, Richard and Lilly had ten children named Edward L., Nella R., John, Thomas Jim, Martha Emma, Charlie, Bessie Vermeil, Arthur R., Georgia Anna, and Eugene; and
Whereas, Richard was a planter who owned three hundred forty-seven acres of land in the Beulah community, located about six miles from Camden; and
Whereas, he was a lifelong resident of the Beulah community of Kershaw County; and
Whereas, his life served as an example to be followed by his ten children, his many grand and great-grandchildren, and by all who knew him; and
Whereas, Richard died at the age of eighty-six after a long and productive life; and
Whereas, I-20 now divides the property that was Richard Thomas Holland's former plantation; and
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly believe it would be a fitting tribute to Richard Thomas Holland and his family if this interchange were named in his honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina request the Department of Transportation to rename the interchange at Exit 101 on I-20 in Kershaw County the "Richard Thomas Holland Interchange" in honor of his children, grandchildren, one of whom is Senator Donald H. Holland, and his great-grandchildren, and the department is further requested to install appropriate markers or signs at places as the department considers advisable containing the words "Richard Thomas Holland Interchange".
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation and to Senator Donald H. Holland.
