The resolution, introduced on February 13, 2025, requests the Division of Highways to name a specific bridge in Lewis County, known as the Glady Creek Box Beam, as the "U.S. Army PFC William Harrison Lowther Memorial Bridge." This honor is proposed to commemorate PFC Lowther's significant contributions to his community and country, particularly his service during World War I with the American Expeditionary Force, where he fought in France and the Argonne Forest. Born in 1888, Lowther lived a long life, reaching the age of 105, and was recognized for his longevity and contributions by various public figures and organizations.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of establishing a lasting memorial to honor PFC Lowther's legacy. It includes provisions for the Division of Highways to create and install signs identifying the bridge with its new name. Additionally, the resolution mandates that a copy be forwarded to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways to ensure the request is formally acknowledged and acted upon.
