2013 Hursh Memorial Scholarship The Oliver C. and Roberta
M. Hursh Memorial Scholarship, $13,800 each: co-valedictorians
Daniel Bacon and Sara Shane
Daniel, son of James Bacon and Kimberly Shoultz, plans to attend
Illinois College. Sara, daughter of Douglas and Michelle Shane,
plans to attend the University of Illinois at Chicago.
They are the second recipients of the Oliver C. and Roberta M.
Hursh Memorial Scholarship. Mr. and Mrs. Hursh did not have any
children of their own, but education remained very important to the
two of them. It was their belief that our society is doing too
little to encourage the real achievers among us. For the next 19
years, the valedictorian and salutatorian of Lincoln Community High
School will each receive 25 percent of the annual earned income of a
trust.
