Requesting that bridge number 11-17-0.10 on County Route 17 in Gilmer County, West Virginia, be named the “Lucille Stalnaker Bridge”.

    Whereas, The new bridge replaces earlier bridges that were both low water bridges and were washed out by high flood waters; and

    Whereas, The new bridge is two hundred thirty feet long, twenty-two feet wide and twenty-three feet above normal water level; and

    Whereas, When the earlier bridges were washed out the community was hard hit by their losses; and

    Whereas, The Division of Highways District 7 Engineer Richard White has said that the new bridge will serve the community well for many years to come; and

    Whereas, Lucille Stalnaker, a retired school teacher who lives in the family home near the bridge, is the person most responsible for ensuring a new bridge would be built that could withstand flood waters; and

    Whereas, Lucille Stalnaker for years persisted in contacting state and local officials and representatives, the media and her fellow citizens; and

    Whereas, Lucille Stalnaker remembers when she both as a student and teacher how she had to cross the river in a small boat to get to school; and

    Whereas, As residents of and visitors to Gilmer County owe a debt of gratitude to Lucille Stalnaker it is only fitting to name the bridge after her; therefore, be it
