Bill > H5190

This resolution, passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate (indicated by "the Senate concurring"), requests that the Department of Transportation, the state agency responsible for roads, designate a specific section of Saluda Street in Rock Hill, South Carolina, as "Officer Robert M. McFadden Memorial Street." This designation will cover the stretch of Saluda Street between Johnston Street and Albright Road, and appropriate signs will be placed there to commemorate Officer McFadden. The resolution provides context by detailing Officer McFadden's life, including his birth in 1896, his service as a sergeant in World War I, his joining the Rock Hill Police Department in 1923, and his tragic death in a car accident on November 3, 1933, while responding to a call. It also highlights the large public turnout for his funeral, his burial with full military honors, and his posthumous induction into the South Carolina Law Enforcement Officers Hall of Fame in 2020, emphasizing that it is fitting to honor his memory with this street naming.
