October Lunch & Learn: The Grace Lusk Trial
Advertisement
Although the story of the murder of Mary Roberts by Grace Lusk is familiar to many in Waukesha, the details of Grace’s trial and conviction are a story onto itself. In this presentation, John Schoenknecht will focus on the details of Grace’s trial in the very courtroom in which it happened. The story of “Waukesha’s Love Triangle” was featured in newspapers across the country.
John Schoenknecht is a retired Waukesha Public School art teacher. He is the author of several books about Waukesha history, wrote a history column for the Waukesha Freeman, edits Landmark magazine and volunteers in the Huelsman Family Research Center.
