Bill > HR1391

This resolution dedicates a bridge in Clinch County, Georgia, located on State Route 168 over Camp Creek, as the Edna Sirmans Sessoms Bridge. The dedication honors the life of Mrs. Edna Sirmans Sessoms, who was born in 1892 and passed away in 1994. She was the daughter of State Senator Frank B. Sirmans and was married to Alexander Kelly Sessoms, with whom she became a prominent figure in Georgia's naval stores industry and a significant landowner. After her husband's death, she continued to manage the family's timber holdings and was instrumental in pioneering the modern forest industry in south Georgia, ensuring sustainable forest management for generations. The resolution also directs the Department of Transportation to install appropriate signage and instructs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to distribute copies of the resolution to Mrs. Sessoms' family and the Department of Transportation.
