PICKENS — Pickens County Sheriff Rick Clark will honor his predecessor C. David Stone next week for his 44 years of service to the county.

At 9 a.m. on Aug. 23, the current L.E.C. Road in Pickens will be renamed to C. David Stone Road with a special ceremony.

“We wanted to honor Sheriff Stone in a way that would last for generations,” Clark said. “It is fitting that the road he came to work on every day will now be named after him and in honor of his service to Pickens County for over four decades.

“I would like to thank the local officials who contributed to the process of making this vision a reality and I invite all of our citizens to come out and attend this dedication to Sheriff Stone.”
