At the age of 16, Lucy and her sister
Emma went to
India to work with
the Salvation Army there. Emma married
Frederick Tucker in 1888. The Booth-Tuckers soon moved to
London because of Emma's failing health, and Lucy followed. On 18 October 1894 Lucy married Colonel Emanuel Daniel Hellberg, a
Swedish officer. As was the custom in the Booth family, the couple added 'Booth' to their married name, becoming Booth-Hellberg. They went on to have five children together: Emma, Eva, Lucy, Daniel and Ebba Mary Booth-Hellberg. Their son Daniel died in infancy in 1896. Lucy returned to India with her new husband and they together commanded the Indian Territory, taking on the names Ruhani and Raj-Singh respectively. They were appointed to
France and
Switzerland in 1896. "Commissioner Lucy" died at Bromma in
Stockholm on 18 July 1953, at the age of 85. ==References==
