The resolution requests the Division of Highways in West Virginia to rename bridge number 30-3/5-13.59 on County Route 3/5 in Mingo County from the "Baisden Family Memorial Bridge" to "The Landen, Fannie, Katherine, Ab, and Laura Baisden Family Memorial Bridge." This change honors the legacy of the Baisden family, which includes Landen and Fannie Baisden, who were married for 65 years and had a significant impact on their community, as well as their descendants, including Katherine, Ab, and Laura Baisden, who contributed to the local culture and values.
The resolution highlights the lives and contributions of these family members, emphasizing their roles in the community, their dedication to family, and their involvement in church and education. It calls for the installation of new signage to reflect the updated name of the bridge and directs the Clerk of the House to forward a copy of the resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways. This renaming serves as a lasting tribute to the Baisden family's influence and commitment to their community in West Virginia.
