Zach and the Mulhall family were also friends with the Miller Brothers of 101 Ranch Fame in nearby Ponca City and often performed with them and shared talent for their shows when needed.
Will Rogers and Tom Mix were also integral parts of the early years of the shows and Will (then performing under the stage name, "The Cherokee Kid}") is credited with teaching Lucille how to twirl-another talent for which she was known.
Carrie Nation visited Mulhall in 1901 to tell the town saloons about the evils of liquor and warning that she would return.
[5] In 1907, ''Leslie's Weekly'' carried a picture of Lucille, calling her the world's champion lariat thrower, a title she won in San Antonio.
However, besides the water tower collapsing, the wedge tornado also leveled 60–70% of the 130 homes in Mulhall and destroyed the Mulhall/Orlando Elementary School.
Lucille's Restaurant, located in the old Bank Building, was one of the few original structures to survive the tornado.
The restaurant boasted eclectic photographs of Lucille and her family during the heyday of their lives and performances in Wild West shows featured in the decor.
