Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are delighted to learn that Eddie Lucious Cain celebrated his one hundredth birthday on Friday, February 1, 2019; and

Whereas, a native of Clarendon County, Eddie Lucious Cain was born on February 1, 1919 to the late Lucious Cain and Lelia Butler Cain. With two brothers and three sisters, he was the third child in a family of six children. He received his formal education at Liberty Hill Colored School in Summerton, South Carolina; and

Whereas, in his youth, Mr. Cain worked on his family's farm planting tobacco, corn, and cotton, and as an adult, he continued the family tradition of farming, along with his wife and children, until his family began to pursue other professions. However, he still maintained ownership of the one hundred twenty-acre farm. Mr. Cain also pursued a career with Georgia Pacific for over twenty years, retiring in the mid 1980s; and

Whereas, Mr. Cain was married to the love of his life, the late Mazel Gibson, for seventy-five years. Together, they had two sons and seven daughters. Only one of their children has departed to be with the Lord, his loving daughter, Mrs. Mamie Y. Gibbs; and

Whereas, having grown up in a loving Christian home where he was introduced to God at an early age, Mr. Cain is a devout Christian and has been a lifelong member of Laurel Hill A.M.E. Church; and

Whereas, in his free time, Mr. Cain enjoys seeing the changes around Davis Station, new subdivisions, golf courses, Walmart, restaurants, and other stores; and

Whereas, the Senate is proud to honor this son of South Carolina at the celebration of his one hundredth birthday, and the members join with his family and friends in congratulating him for reaching this important life milestone. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate Eddie Lucious Cain on the occasion of his one hundredth birthday and wish him a joyous birthday celebration and much happiness in the days ahead.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Eddie Lucious Cain.
