The 2013 I Found It In The Archives! Winner

Voters chose Nacogdoches, Texas, resident Misty Hurley as the winner of this year's contest! Hurley's essay, which was submitted by the East Texas Research Center, details her study of the logbooks at the Carson-Monk Funeral Home in Nacogdoches, which, she discovered, contain much more than mere listings of individuals. Hurley's prize includes complimentary airfare to the Joint Annual Meeting in New Orleans this August. Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's contest!
