Hertzog 1857-1940 was a photographer with studios in Nazareth Pen Argyle and Bethlehem Pennsylvania; a self-professed faith healer; author of the book "Wonderful Experiences" on Christian healing; and a failed rapist. <br /> He amassed a fortune but investments in the Union National Life Insurance bad mining stocks and flooded land along the seashore depleted his wealth. He declared bankruptcy in 1914 but continued in both of his businesses. <br /> Hertzog was arrested in March 1919 after being accused by Mrs. Mabel Rice a young married woman of Quakertown of assault and battery with attempt to commit rape. An article in the Intelligencer Journal of Lancaster stated that Mrs. Rice was the sister of Rev. O.G. Romig a local pastor and wife of Harry Rice a steelworker and believer of "pow wow healing". Mrs. Rice had been quite sick for some time and decided to try Dr. Hertzog as a last resort. She stated that he was extremely religious in the beginning but grew more bold in his actions as treatments went on. He even got her permission to use a room of her house to treat other patients all women. Hertzog wrote a confession witnessed by acting Magistrate Funk admitting to making improper advances upon Mrs. Rice knowing her to be a married woman that he should not have done so and that Mrs. Rice committed no wrongdoing and was pure of character.
