Biographical Sketch of Lucy
Herlan
Lucy Herlan attended this Methodist Church in the central area of
Calais when she was a teenager. At that time she was living with her
sister Maria (pronounced Mariah but who often was just called "Ri")
who had tuberculosis. Maria was a dressmaker, and Lucy helped her with
the weaving, sewing, and housework during her illness. When Maria died
in 1877 just a couple weeks before her 37th birthday, Lucy
returned home to live with her parents, Jane (Mendenhall) and Jakob Herlan
until she married Georg Schaub in 1881.
