Brian's page has a transcription of Adolf FUCHS' farewell sermon to his parish in Koelzow, as well as a transcription of a letter he wrote later from Texas to friends and relatives in Germany. Adolf's daughter and my 3 G Grandmother, Ottilie Fuchs GOETH, published her memoirs Was Grossmutter Erzaehlt in 1915. Irma Goeth GUENTHER, one of her granddaughters, translated them into English and published them privately in 1969. At the urging of, among others, Professor Hubert HEINEN of the University of Texas at Austin, Mrs. GUENTHER published them with Eakin Press in 1982. Though now out of print, the volume is as Professor HEINEN characterized in the introduction of the 1982 edition "... a classic document of Texas pioneer days ... She wrote with the descriptive and objective eye - and at times in the manner - of a nineteenth-century realistic novelist and thus provided memoirs which are at once aesthetically pleasing and at the same time invaluable as a source for scholars, teachers and students ..." back to Quick Surname Index
