A house RESOLUTION

 

To thank John William Tucker, Jr., and ruth sadler haney for their family's generous donation of a historic traditional southern ladderback chair to the South Carolina State Museum.

 

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives was pleased to learn that John William Tucker, Jr., and his cousin Ruth Sadler Haney made the substantial donation of a historic traditional southern ladderback chair to the South Carolina State Museum; and

 

Whereas, the chair fits into the parameters of the museum's collection plan because of its age, provenance, and potential contribution to the museum's effort to build a deep collection of significant South Carolina-made or owned furniture. The chair will be the third oldest piece of furniture in the museum's collection, only behind a Southern Queen Anne Dressing Table (c. 1750) and a tea table from Berkeley County (c. 1790). The chair's maker is unknown; and

 

Whereas, Joseph John "J.J." Fretwell was the former owner of the chair. He was an Anderson County farmer, salesman, banker, and entrepreneur who owned, organized, or directed numerous businesses including The Peoples Bank of Anderson, Anderson Hardware Company, Peoples Furniture Company, and the Anderson Cotton Mill. He was also a founding trustee of Anderson College; and

 

Whereas, John Tucker's donation is just one of his many contributions to this great State. One of his most notable contributions being his past service to the South Carolina House of Representatives representing District 6; and

 

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for this donation to the cultural history collection at the South Carolina State Museum and appreciate the educational value this piece of history brings. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

 

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, thank John William Tucker, Jr., and Ruth Sadler Haney for their family's generous donation of a historic traditional southern ladderback chair to the South Carolina State Museum.
