the neighboring children with their music, was always a part of
her home. Singing was a delight to her as well as to those about her,
particularly at church where others could join her. Her favorite song
was "A Rock That Is Higher Than I" which expressed her innate
and deep religious feeling. After her children were no longer in
school, she organized a P.T.A. in Llano, and gave the organization
continuous support.
She so aroused the potential in her four children that they tried
their wings early. Her husband, Ernst Marschall, called his wife die
liebe Lutz, and he always directed their children to "your good
mother."
Mrs. M. was not soft-hearted, though there was tenderness in her.
Pride of birth was an innate part of her. In her hometown, when a
certain man returned from the penitentiary and was walking the
town streets all alone, Mrs. M. made her way across a street to shake
his hand.
The capabilities of Lucy Marschall would have fitted her for wider
paths, but circumstances narrowed her life. She was, however, widely
known. Nearly everyone who knew her considered her a great woman.
The intrepid spirit of John O. Meusebach, who faced the savage
Comanche Indians in their own territory and made a treaty of lasting
peace with them, lived on in his daughter. She never quailed at look-
ing life in the face; she came out the victor.
The 244 county historical survey committees of Texas, in
cooperation with the Texas State Historical Survey Committee,
continue to conduct an ever increasing program to inspire interest
and appreciation of Texas history. They are promoting school
essay and poster contests in connection with Texas Civil War
Appreciation Week, April 20-26, while continuing their efforts
to erect historical markers, to mark graves of Civil War veterans,
to establish local museums, and to organize special programs and
centennial observances on the Civil War in Texas. Professor
Allan Ashcraft of Texas A and M University is writing for the
historical survey committees a series of articles on "Texas and
the Civil War" which began to appear in a number of the state's
newspapers in February. Among the recent publications of the
State Historical Survey Committee are a Directory Texas His-
torical Museums and a pamphlet entitled Discover Texas' His-
torical Buildings, both lists being organized by city or town
in alphabetical order.587
