Husband of Gerda Luyties. "Granddaddy was born in Anderson, SC in 1877 just a few months after his young father (John Blair Prevost) died of pneumonia. He and his mother moved to Washington, DC to live in the home of his grandfather, James Lawrence Orr, formerly Governor of South Carolina, who had also been Speaker of the US House of Representatives and later US Ambassador to Russia. Marshall was educated in Washington, DC. He attended and played football at Princeton University. He was very athletic, loved to wrestle, play footfall and tennis. He was a prolific reader, philosopher, musician and poet. A serious artist, and art collector, he studied at the Art Student League in New York City and after moving to Greenville in 1911, mentored many art students at his studio at 1 Washington Place. He formed the Fine Arts League of Greenville which eventually became the foundation of the Greenville Art Museum. Marshall & Gerda Prevost and their two young sons, Marshall & Gerry, moved from St Louis to Anderson, SC and began building their home at 1 Washington Place (now 701 E. McBee Ave) in Greenville, SC which was completed the end of 1911 or early 1912. Their third son Tournay Prevost (1912-1953) - my father - was born in 1912, followed in 1914 by Herman Christie Clare Prevost ("Christie" 1914-2002) and finally in 1920 a daughter, Gerda Luyties Prevost (McCahan 1920-1993). My Aunt "Gerda Jr", 6'3" tall, was a distinguished Professor at Furman University and well respected clinical psychologist, having earned her PhD at Columbia University in NYC."
