(By Delegates Burdiss and Browning)
Requesting that bridge number .015 located on Route 54 at the old
Mullens Athletic Field in the City of Mullens, Wyoming County,
be named "The H.E. 'Homer' Lilly Bridge."
Whereas, H.E. "Homer" Lilly was instrumental in shaping the
destiny of the City of Mullens into its present condition as a
bustling, growing and thriving community; and
Whereas, As a realtor he was involved in the real estate
development in and around the City of Mullens in the early 1900's,
selling many a young married couple starting out in life, land upon
which to construct their home; and
Whereas, As a member of the Board of Directors of the Peoples
Bank of Mullens, he helped many to attain financing to build homes
on the land he previously sold them; and
Whereas, The Peoples Bank of Mullens' continuing success and
existence is tribute to the life works of Mr. Lilly, being the only
Bank in Wyoming County to have survived the Great Depression while
continuing to this day to operate with the same vision and trust
that was instilled in its operation by Mr. Lilly; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Division of Highways is hereby requested to name
bridge number .015 located on Route 54 at the old Mullens Athletic
Field in the City of Mullens, Wyoming County, "The H.E. 'Homer'
Lilly Bridge"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of the Division of
Highways is hereby requested to cause to be fabricated signs to be
erected at each entryway of said bridge, containing bold and
prominent letters proclaiming the bridge to be "The H.E. 'Homer'
Lilly Bridge"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates
forward a certified copy of this resolution to the Commissioner of
the Division of Highways and to the Mayor and City Council of the
City of Mullens.
