Megan Mercer awarded 4-year UL scholarship Scholarship based on her performance at Kentucky Junior Science and Humanities Symposium; recipient is now a sophomore at Louisville's Ballard High School Click on headline for complete story with photo By E.H. Lepiarczyk II Miss Megan Katherine Mercer, of Indian Hills, received notification of earning a four-year University of Louisville scholarship. Based on her recent outstanding performance at the Kentucky Junior Science and Humanities Symposium, Miss Mercer was awarded this prestigious scholarship. Miss Mercer is a sophomore at Ballard High School in Louisville. The daughter of Mrs. Richard Charles Mercer, of Indian Hills, and the late Dr. Mercer; Miss Mercer is the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gerhard Lepiarczyk, of Louisville. Mrs. Lepiarczyk is a native of Adair County. Miss Mercer is the great-granddaughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Marion Grider, who were lifelong residents of Adair County. Miss Mercer is the niece of Mr. Erwin Heinrich Lepiarczyk II, of Adair County. Miss Mercer has many relatives in and near Adair County. Some of Miss Mercer's ancestors were among the earliest pioneers of Adair County. Burton Ridge, Neatsville, and Pellyton are communities which are named in honor of Miss Mercer's ancestral families! Family members of Miss Mercer are extremely proud of her. She maintains a 4.0 grade point average standing and serves as vice-president of her class. She is in contention to become valedictorian of her class. Her father's family may think that she inherited her brilliant mind from Dr. Mercer's family. Members of her Lepiarczyk family know that genius is inherited from their ancestral family. However, Miss Mercer's Adair County ancestral families are blessed with brilliant minds as well. Many scholars are in her Grider, Burton, Bryant, Harmon, Perryman, Smith, and Bowyer ancestral families too! Her grandmother, Mrs. Lepiarczyk, expresses that Miss Mercer's brilliant mind is a gift from God and always reminds Miss Mercer to be thankful for this precious gift. Mrs. Stella Frances Grider Cross, of Louisville, Miss Mercer's great-aunt, is the first Grider to have been graduated from the Columbia High School. Miss Mercer's late great-grandmother, Effie Burton Grider, is the first Burton to have attended the Columbia High School! And, Miss Mercer's late second-great-grandmother, Mary Margaret Bryant Grider, was also an Adair County scholar. She attended the Zion School; when pupils called it "the college." During the 19th century, the Zion School was possibly the only brick school in Adair County outside of Columbia. Zion and Joppa community residents were quite proud of Zion Baptist Church and Zion School! In the early 1940s, Zion School was the first school where Miss Mercer's late great-aunt, Nona Marie Grider Cook, would teach. And of course; Miss Mercer's uncle, Mr. Erwin Lepiarczyk, proudly led his Adair County High School pupils, as their beloved teacher, to their first acclaimed Kentucky state awards in German! Miss Mercer's mother and uncles are all alumni of the University of Louisville. Miss Mercer is also the niece of Mr. David August Lepiarczyk. Lepiarczyk family members would be very pleased should Miss Mercer decide to accept her newly offered scholarship. Miss Mercer aspires to a career in medicine. Her uncle, Mr. Erwin Lepiarczyk, encourages Miss Mercer to be a plastic surgeon. She will be able to enhance the classic beauty of Lepiarczyk family members, so that they may enjoy their golden years more gracefully. This story was posted on 2009-03-01 18:18:12
