Ruby J. Struven
Ruby (Hebe) Struven (1882—1973)
Ruby Jean Struven (née Moore) was born in the town of Hume, NY on November 4, 1882. She was the ninth out of ten children of Reuben Moore (born circa 1817) and Ellen McBride Moore (born circa 1842), both from New York State and she was also the younger sister of Lua (Louise) Getsinger (née Moore) . Hebe, as she was commonly called, came from a Baptist tradition and accepted the Baha'i Faith around 1896-98 in Hume, NY. Her belief in Bahá'u'lláh probably occurred through the influence of her older sister Lua (1,2).
