The winner was 12-year-old Marian Richardson, who attended a one-room schoolhouse in Floyd County, Indiana, correctly spelling the word sanitarium. Jean Pierce of Kenmore, New York placed second after failing to correctly spell pronunciation.[3][4] Winner Marian Richardson, later Byrnes, became an environmental activist in Chicago, and died on May 20, 2010.[5] References1. ^(31 May 1938).
