Struven Family
About 100 years ago, during World War I, the first Bahá'í family in Worcester, the Struvens (Howard C. and Hebe Struven and their son Howard Douglas) moved from Baltimore, Maryland to Worcester, Massachusetts.

The Baltimore years
On Christmas day, 1882 in Baltimore, MD, Rosa and Dietrich Struven, immigrants from Bremen, Germany, were blessed with the birth of their youngest son, Howard Christmas. Little did they know of the impact that this young boy, and his brother, were to have on the advancement of the Revelation of Bahá'u'lláh in this country and the world, and specially, in the city of Worcester (1, 2).
