Herma Mae Hubbard Fields (1907-1994)

Herma Fields was the eldest daughter of Herbert Hubbard and Sarah Matilda Hoagland Hubbard. Her first name was a blend of her parents' first names. A descendant of the Truehart, Bergen, Hoagland, and Hagaman families, Herma was born and raised in Stoutsburg on the Sourland Mountain. At age sixteen, she took over the household after her mother's sudden death from an asthma attack.
