May 30, 2024 – Silvina Epperson , announces Mallory Wheat as the recipient of a $1,000.00 scholarship from the Hopkins County Genealogical Society. Mallory, a 2024 graduate of Cumby High School, was the winner of the 500 word essay contest titled “My Favorite Ancestor.” HCGS received thirteen wonderful entries this year and the judging was very tight. Each entry was very touching as the seniors shared their family members and how that person had influenced them personally. Congratulations to Mallory and best wishes for her great success in the years to come.
