Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives pause in their deliberations to honor Moses Middleton for his many dedicated years of service to his community; and
Whereas, born to the late Evalina and Moses Middleton, Sr., he is the oldest of their fifteen children; and
Whereas, he was educated in Charleston County public schools, graduated from Ryder Business Technology School in Atlanta, Georgia, and received a certificate from welding school in Charleston; and
Whereas, for twenty-five years, he worked as a longshoreman, beginning as a lift-truck operator, then as a tractor-trailer driver, and later he was promoted to a delegate's position; and
Whereas, elected to serve on the trustee board, Moses Middleton retired as chief delegate; and
Whereas, his extensive work in his community includes his service on the Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments, on the town council of Hollywood, and as the mayor pro-tem of Hollywood; and
Whereas, a member of St. Mark African Methodist Episcopal Church of Ravenel, he served his church as a class leader, a member of the steward board, assistant church superintendent, and president of the Christian Church Union for many years; and
Whereas, he is a member of Prince Hall Lodge #46, the Arabian Temple #139, and the George Washington Carver Consistory #162; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the years of service that Moses Middleton has given to his community and for the example of hard work and dependability that this son of the Palmetto State has established. Now, therefore,
