Marion Stone Merriman Wachtel was born in Santa Barbara, California in 1909 and died in Palo Alto, California in 1991. Marion married Robert Hale Merriman on their graduation day in 1932 from the University of Nevada, Reno, and served with him in the Abraham Lincoln Battalion as he commanded American volunteers in the Spanish Civil War. Following Bob's presumed death, (reported lost in battle in 1938), Marion, in 1939, married Emil Wachtel, a San Francisco attorney who shared her life-long dedication as an advocate for freedom. They are survived by three sons, Joseph, Jeffrey, and William Wachtel. She remained active in the Abraham Lincoln Brigade whose members had served in Spain and was employed as an administrative assistant at Stanford University near their home in Palo Alto, California.
