C. Lulu Blackman (1859-1945) was born in Wisconsin and died in Lincoln, Nebraska. After several years of sickness, she traveled from her home in Nebraska to Chicago, Illinois, in search of healing. While there, she received Christian Science treatment through prayer from Ellen Brown Linscott (formerly Ellen Brown) and also began studying Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. She received class instruction from Mary Baker Eddy in September 1885 and joined The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, in January 1894. Blackman was first listed in the directory of The Christian Science Journal as a practitioner in 1886. She later went through Normal class with Eddy and served as a practitioner and teacher until her passing.
