The bill, S. 1108, is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly to honor Cornelia Brigham by naming a section of Fred Nash Boulevard in Horry County as the "Cornelia Brigham Intersection." The resolution requests that the Department of Transportation erect appropriate markers or signs at this location to commemorate her legacy.
Cornelia Brigham, a native of Florence County, was a devoted mother and community member who faced significant challenges after the death of her husband in 1951. She worked tirelessly to raise her eight children and was tragically killed by a drunk driver in 1981 while walking near the intersection in question. The resolution aims to pay tribute to her life and contributions to the community by officially naming the road segment in her honor.
