For the past 5 years the library has been quietly building an online service that has become valuable not only to Henderson County residents and businesses, but also to people across the country. Our local history librarians are recording every obituary printed in The Gleaner and making that information freely available and searchable from the library’s website. This is an enormous project that will take years to complete. The library has microfilm copies of The Gleaner dating back to 1880 and the goal is to record every obituary or death notice printed in each of those issues.
The index grows daily and today it includes over 30,000 obituaries from 1981 to the present. Librarians are inputting data from the years 1979 and 1980. You can search by the decedent’s name, name of spouse, maiden name, names of survivors, date of death, place of death, and more. The obituary record will give you all of this information (if present in the obituary) along with the date that the obituary appeared in The Gleaner. In addition, any newspaper articles related to the death of an individual are listed in the obituary record (e.g. if the person was murdered, died in a car accident, etc.).
The library receives emails from across the country from genealogists who have searched the obituary index and found unknown relatives. Many times these researchers want to know if the library has any other information on their family members. Frequently the library will send copies of obituaries from The Gleaner to individuals (for a small fee). Our local residents use the service when they have forgotten or misplaced the death date of a friend, acquaintance or relative, or the names of the children of a friend who passed away. Local businesses also use the service to keep up with clients and customers.
The obituary index is one of the library’s most used online services. To access it, start here or visit our Genealogy page. For more information, please call the library at 270-826-3712 or contact our Genealogy Department.

New Year's Resolution: Learn about Investing
Training tip from Morningstar Investment Research Center by Lars Wasvick.
During the past few months it has been nearly impossible to avoid bad news about the financial markets. Even worse is trying to make investment decisions or discuss investment matters when you might feel rusty or out of step. No need to worry; Morningstar is here to help with our Investing Classroom.
Last month I began following the drama in the auto industry. I heard a lot about equity, liabilities, market capitalization, and the rest of the financial lingo. Rather than skip through the messy terms in the newspaper, I decided to take a refresher course so I could better understand the situation.
If you go to the Help and Education page of Morningstar Investment Research Center, you will find our Investing Classroom. There are courses on stocks, mutual funds, and portfolio analysis. The nice thing about Investing Classroom is that it can help anyone--from the novice to the expert. You will find course levels ranging from basic terms at the 100 level to derivatives and contemporary theories at the 500 level.
The Stocks module is great for anyone looking to get information on choosing stocks to invest in, or just to get an idea of the terminology surfacing in the news. It also includes information on how to calculate ratios, read financial statements, and much more. In the Funds catalog, you will find a plethora of information about how to examine and go about buying a mutual fund. You'll also learn the differences between specialized, growth, and value approaches, along with all the essentials of mutual fund investing.
In the current market, or any market for that matter, having the knowledge to make sound decisions about your investments is paramount. Investing Classroom teaches you how to determine the best kind of mix for you, strategies for buying and selling, and how to rebalance your portfolio. Hopefully you'll discover that even in a struggling market, there are investment opportunities out there.
Morningstar Investment Research Center is great tool for new and veteran investors. It's chock full of unbiased analyst reports, tools for evaluating your portfolio, and lessons on how to invest. The best part is that it's free to all valid library cardholders! Begin now or learn more.

Don't Make These 3 Investment Mistakes
Investing tip of the month from Morningstar Investment Research Center, by Christopher Davis, Morningstar Fund Analyst.
Whether it's the Dutch tulip craze of the 17th century, the dot-com mania of the late 1990s, or the most recent rush into real estate, there's no shortage of examples of investors behaving irrationally.
In the world of traditional economists and finance professors, though, that's not supposed to happen. If investors are rational decision-makers, then emotion-driven bubbles shouldn't be possible. Yet human weaknesses can limit our ability to think clearly. Many studies of investor behavior have shown that investors are too willing to extrapolate recent trends far into the future, too confident in their abilities, and too quick (or not quick enough) to react to new information. These tendencies often lead investors to make decisions that run counter to their own best interests.
The idea that investor psychology can result in poor investment decisions is a key insight of an increasingly influential field of study called behavioral finance. Behavioral-finance theorists blend finance and psychology to identify deep-seated human traits that get in the way of investment success. Behavioral finance isn't just an interesting academic diversion, however. Its findings can help you identify--and correct--behaviors that cost you money.
What common mistakes should investors avoid? Here are a few key behavioral-finance lessons worth heeding.
1. Don't read too much into the recent past.
When faced with lots of information, most people come up with easy rules of thumb to help them cope. While useful in some situations, these shortcuts can lead to biases that cause investors to make bad decisions. One example is "extrapolation bias," the overreliance on the past to assess the future. Instead of doing all the necessary and possibly tedious homework in researching a potential investment, investors instead "anchor" their expectations for the future in the recent past.
The problem, of course, is that yesterday doesn't always tell you what tomorrow will bring. If you don't believe us, just ask investors who swarmed red-hot technology- and Internet-focused stocks in 1999 and 2000 expecting the good times to continue. They didn't, and most folks ended up suffering huge losses. Those who dove into real estate or natural-resources funds in more recent years are learning the same lesson now.
It's also worth pointing out that you can make the same mistake in the other direction. This past year was a horrible year for the markets, but that won't last forever either. Just as it's a mistake to assume the good times will never end, it's also foolish to think the bad times will never end.
2. Realize that you don't know as much as you think.
In a 1981 study asking Swedish drivers to assess their own driving abilities, 90% rated themselves as above-average. Statistically speaking, that's just not possible. But most of us are just like the Swedes: We think that we're more capable and smarter than we really are. As an investor, you should check your excessive optimism at the door. You might believe you're more likely than the next guy to spot the next Microsoft, but the odds are you're not.
According to several studies, overconfident investors trade more rapidly because they think that they know more than the person on the other side of the trade. And all that trading can be hazardous to your wealth, as University of California, Berkeley professors Brad Barber and Terrance Odean put it in their 2000 study of investor trading behavior. The study looked at approximately 66,000 households using a discount broker between 1991 and 1996 and found that individuals who trade frequently (with monthly turnover above 8.8%) earned a net annualized return of 11.4% over that time, while inactive accounts netted 18.5%. Investors who traded most often paid the most in brokerage commissions, taking a huge bite out of returns.
All that trading might've been worthwhile if investors replaced the stocks they sold with something better. But interestingly, the study found that, excluding trading costs, newly acquired stocks actually slightly underperformed the stocks that were sold. That means that rapid traders' returns suffered whether or not fees were taken into account. Some researchers have come to a similar conclusion studying fund manager trading--standing pat is often the best strategy.
3. Keep your winners longer and dump your losers sooner.
Investors in Odean and Barber's study were much more likely to sell winners than losers. That's exactly what behavioral-finance theorists would predict. They've noticed that investors would rather accept smaller but certain gains than take their chances to make more money. On the flip side, investors are reluctant to admit defeat and sell stocks that are underwater in hopes of a rebound. As a result, investors tend to sell their winners too early and hang on to their losers for too long.
One way that investors can avoid leaving too much money on the table is to rebalance their portfolios less often. Rebalancing involves regularly trimming winners in favor of laggards. That's a prudent investing strategy because it keeps a portfolio diversified and reduces risk. But rebalancing too frequently could limit your upside. Instead, rebalance only when your portfolio is out of whack with your target allocations. Minor divergences from your targets aren't a big deal, but when your current allocations grow to more than 5 percentage points beyond your original plan, it's time to cut back.
You also shouldn't be afraid to sell a loser because it will turn a paper loss into a real one. Hanging on to a dog in hopes of breaking even is a bad idea because you may be forgoing a better opportunity. The trick is knowing when it's time to cut bait. That's why it pays to have clear reasons in mind for your purchase of any investment right from the get-go. If your expectations don't pan out, then it's time to sell.
4. It's all about discipline.
Fortunately, you don't have to be a genius to be a successful investor. As Berkshire Hathaway chief and investor extraordinaire Warren Buffett said in a 1999 interview with Business Week, "Success in investing doesn't correlate with IQ once you're above the level of 25. Once you have ordinary intelligence, what you need is the temperament to control the urges that get other people into trouble in investing." It's true that not everyone is gifted with Buffett's calm, cool demeanor. But challenging yourself to avoid your own worst instincts will help you reach your financial goals.
