It took me several days to research this story and find out all I could about Gertrude. I Wish I could have found more.

Here are  the facts:

Gertrude Grace Johnson was born on 13 Aug 1895  in Garra, New South Wales Australia. To Charles Arthur Johnson &  Susan Staines. She was number 6 of 8 children born to this family. All born in Australia. 

Gertrude was a part of the'free love religious cult' and had been a member for six years by 1919.  Little is known about the inner workings of the Free Love Mission. It was said that there was a lot of sex going on between members even married couples.  I suppose it's not much different than the 1960s free love movement in America. It was quite shocking for the time. She became acquainted with the group near Molong in rural NSW, where she had embraced its doctrine of free love, faith healing, and intermarital sex. “There is no condemnation for those who believed in Christ Jesus”, the sect members were said to take drugs, fornicate with multiple partners and bear children outside of wedlock.
