Edith

There's a crime blotter article about Edith Jacobson that also mentions a Helen Roottree and a Lucinda Jacobson. In 1971, when she was 18, Edith and her sister Lucinda were arrested for trespassing at the Miracle Congregation's Church in Butler County. They were pretending to be Church employees in an attempt to get into the room where the Church houses their weekly tithings. The church didn't press charges. They were caught by Helen Roottree, who was there at the time while her husband Miracle was away preaching. Helen Roottree was quoted as saying "Jesus forgives, and so do we. The Lord works in mysterious ways, and I am confident He has brought these young women to us for a greater purpose."
