ARCHITECTS DRAWING OF PROPOSED LUTHER MEMORIAL MUSEUM

"Since 1939 when historic Luther Hall burned, much has been said about the desirability of preserving the beautifully proportioned arch- es which are all that remain of this building which for many years housed so large a part of the coll- ege. The ravages of the weather are taking heavy toll of them.

DR. JOHN HILL LUTHER MRS. ANNIE JAUDON LUTHER

"In the preservation of the arches the past and the present should be indissolubly linked. Since the college Museum has far outgrown tlq space provided in Wells Science Hall, what could be more flttlng than the erec- tion of a ~ i l t h e r Ib4emorial Mtbeum?

A WORTHY PROJECT Through the kindness of the of8-

cers of Mary Hardin-Baylor College, of Belton, Texas, and of Miss Doris G. Jones of Waco, Texas, we are per- mitted to present the picture of one oi our most distinguished . Luther8 and Ns wife, and the proposed Lu- ther Memorial. ~ l s o , President Oor- don 0. Singleton has granted us permission to use the text of the College Bulletin of July. 1946. -

More room is needeckto display pro- perly the valuable items which link each glorious year of the past cen- tury to that second century which is to bring more honor and pres- tige to this historic institntion. The space now occupied by the Museum is needed urgently for class rooms.

"Many persons have left definite imprints on Mary Hardin-Baylor College but none more lasting than that of Dr. John Hill Luther, who was the last president a t Indepen-

( ~ 6 . W. Goodrich Jones), her children, the children of the latr Annie Luther (Mrs. W. B. Bagby), who expressed a wish that such a memorial to her parents should be erected, and frien&, gifts approxi- mating $3,000 have already reached the college."

"You can have a part in preserv- ing the historic past that is tra-

I ditionalbed in the arches, memori- alize a great man and woman an6 provide adequate museum space bj sending in your contribution tc 1 the Luther Memorial Fund. It wlll be necessary for many inter- ested persons to g i v ~ o math how small the giit."

CONNECTICUT YANKEES John Luther, born 1782, resided

in Hadlyme, Conn. The following account of his wife is from "All Ye Olde Folks in Connecticut.", published in 1884.

"Mrs. Lucy Luther was born in Hadlyme, Jan. 6. 1784, and always resided there. Her childhood was spent in the manner of the time, but as a farmer's daughter, she was unlike her assoc!ates. Timidi- ty was a stranger to her - boldness and daring her characteristics.

"A fondness for horses manifest- ed itself, and, her father having the means, she was enabled to gratify her taste for horseback riding. Unbroken colts and very spirited animals were her choice always, and it became well known that Lucy Lord had no equal in the use of the bridle.

"In 1811, she married John Lu- ther, a farmer who varied his time as a'ship caulker at various yards on the Connecticut River."

Mrs. Luther lived to be 103 years and 9 months.

YOUR MEMBERSHIP Often business people pay bills

only on receipt of a statement. Others who have had little contact with busin-, resent a statement, considering it ' a "dunning letter."

From time to time, many of you have asked for a statement of how you stand in regard to dues in the LUTHER FAMILY ASSOCIATION, and only in such cases have we sent the lnformation. But, with constant work on the genealogy, Association records to be kept, and now the immense amount of work in publishing "The Luther Family9' and keeping those records, mail coming faster than we can reply (of which we me glad), our spare t h e has more than disappeared.

So we intend to print and send .to all members, a card whereby check marks will indicate how you stand: PLEASE don't consider tNs a "dun", and if a remittance will cause the least inconvenience, "skip it", and feel assured that we are grateful for all your interest and favors. Most of us whb are getting along in years, find that our income has not kept pace wlth the outgo. The Association and re- union were formed, not for finan- sial gain, .but to promote a c l W and lasting bond of kinship, and to find a way to publish the Luther Genealogy. Any remittance that you send will be added to that fund.

There are many Luthers whose addresses we do not have. If you

will tell them to write for lnfor- matlon, you will confer a favop
