A concurrent RESOLUTION

to request the department of transportation name the portion of South Carolina highway 576 in marion county from its intersection with united states highway 76 to its intersection with united states highway 501 "douglas mcroy wiggins memorial highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this portion of highway containing these words.

Whereas, Mr. Douglas McRoy Wiggins was born on March 25, 1929, and died on February 2, 1984. He was the son of Elly James Wiggins and Lula Wiggins; and

Whereas, he and his wife Allyson were the proud parents of two beautiful daughters, Dianne and Teresa; and

Whereas, born and reared in Marion County, Mr. Wiggins was a 1948 graduate of Marion High School and a successful farmer, motel owner, and public servant; and

Whereas, as a businessman, he owned multiple farms on which his diversified operation included the production of tobacco, soybeans, and corn. He also owned and operated the Sea Bair Motel and co-owned and operated the Red Cape Inn, both in Myrtle Beach; and

Whereas, as a public servant, he was a member of the Marion County Board of Commissioners from 1971 to 1976, when he resigned due to illness; and

Whereas, he held a number of positions with the Marion County Farm Bureau which included membership on the board of directors, and terms as vice president and president; and

Whereas, he was a faithful member of Shiloh United Methodist Church where he served on the board of trustees;

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to forever recognize the accomplishments of this exceptional son of South Carolina by naming a portion of highway in Marion County in his honor. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request the Department of Transportation name the portion of South Carolina Highway 576 in Marion County from its intersection with United States Highway 76 to its intersection with United States Highway 501 "Douglas McRoy Wiggins Memorial Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this portion of highway containing these words.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
