regret at the passing of Mr. E.B. Register; and for other purposes.

and Georgia Normal College in 1933, and was a graduate of International
Correspondence School, and many courses in banking and finance; and
WHEREAS,
he met DeWeese Thomas while serving in the Civilian Conservation Corps, and they
were married in August of 1936, and he began his career shortly thereafter,
starting with the Washington Sales Company in North Carolina, then with the
Georgia State Prison in Reidsville before beginning his career in banking, first
as a book keeper with the Tattnall Bank and continuing in the banking industry
in Savannah, Tifton, and Claxton, then returning to the Tattnall Bank, where he
worked the remainder of his career; and

County Hospital Authority, Tattnall County Development Authority, Reidsville and
Tattnall Chambers of Commerce, Sons of the American Revolution, and
Reidsville´s Grand Rascals; and
WHEREAS,
more than all of his civic honors, his affiliation with the Reidsville Baptist
Church was most dear to him, and he served as deacon, chairperson of the Board
of Deacons, Sunday school teacher and superintendent, chairperson of the finance
committee, member of the Board of Trustees, and director and treasurer of the
Baptist Training Union, and he served as treasurer of the Tattnall-Evans Baptist
Association; and
WHEREAS,
he is survived by his wife of 68 years, DeWeese, two grandsons, E. Bert Register
III, and Michael T. Register, and two great-grandchildren; and

the passing of this quiet but great man has left a void in his family and his
community, and it is only right and proper that his life be recalled and
honored.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body express
regret at the passing of Mr. E.B. Register and extend sincere condolences to his
grieving family and friends.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed
to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to Ms. DeWeese Register.
