While Joseph Lancaster and two of their sons served in the Civil War, Eva continued to publish the Ranger by herself never missing a weekly issue.   Texas historical marker No. 8400, located in downtown Brenham, makes note of Eva’s dedication to the Ranger during the Civil War.  The Lancasters eventually moved their paper to Navasota after the Civil War.   Eva Lancaster was inducted as member #330 of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas with her papers being signed by early Texas preservationist Adina de Zavala and Mrs. Anson Jones, 1st DRT president. It includes photos of both Joseph and Eva Lancaster as well as his gravestone in Navasota’s Oakland cemetery.
