Historian Ginger Pedersen gives us an exciting lecture about West Palm Beach’s Murdering Postmistress: Lena Clarke. Lena Clarke was many things: writer, poet, composer, postmistress...murderer. This sordid tale of twisted love, the occult, grand theft, and murder takes place during the 1920s West Palm Beach boom. The crime and trial made national headlines.
