Mrs Emogene Hoagg was directed to Italy. (H.M.

Alaskan Baha'i history: The historical archives of the Faith record that the first Bah�'� to reside in Alaska was Ms. Margaret Green who taught the Faith in Juneau from 1915-1918 while supporting herself by work as a public librarian. Although there had been several teaching trips and some temporary residence in Alaska in the 1920's, it wasn't until 1939 that the Bah�'� Faith was permanently established in Alaska [by Honor Kempton]. Honor Kempton was the first Pioneer to Alaska (1939) under the first Seven Year Plan and enrolled Janet (Whitenack) Stout, the 1st new believer in Alaska the same year. Janet was then so inspired by Ms. Kempton that she herself pioneered to a very small interior village, Tuluksak on the Kuskokwim River, where she taught school. (see: High Endeavours) Honor Kempton is regarded as the "Mother" of the Alaskan Baha'i Community.
