Whereas, the Honorable Hoyt Jackson was born in and a lifelong resident of Dillon County; and
Whereas, he was the son of Shell and Lila Dillon Jackson, the father of two daughters, and the great, great nephew of James W. Dillon, the founder of Dillon County; and
Whereas, Mr. Jackson was an avid politician who served as a Dillon County Commissioner for a number of years, and a successful businessman who operated a farm and spent his entire life in the wholesale/retail grocery business; and
Whereas, he was a member of the Mackey Lodge #77, Woodmen of the World, South Carolina Defense Force during World War II, and served as a Civil Defense Air Raid Warden; and
Whereas, Mr. Jackson was a faithful and active member of Dillon First Baptist Church for fifty-three years where he served on numerous committees; and

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name Black Branch Road in Dillon County "Hoyt Jackson Memorial Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this road that contain the words "Hoyt Jackson Memorial Highway".
