Jenabe Caldwell
Growing Up as a Baha'i Child in Montana in the 1920's and the 30's
"How can I ever describe that meeting! The woman speaker (Martha Root) at first appeared very nondescript, but received us with a love and tenderness I had not experienced before. When she began to speak, that hotel room surpassed royal palaces and her voice was that of a pure angel. My soul was set afire that night . . .." (From Night to Knight) as told by Jenabe's mother, Evelyna
Baby "Jeb", named after "Jinabi Fadil-i-Mazandarani"
"My first memory of this life took place when I was two or three years old... (my mother) took the prayer book and began to read to me. . . Suddenly the room seemed full of an unearthly light and my tiny body tingled all over." (from Night to Knight)
Jenabe with sisters, early '1930's
"As I grew older, the most precious time of all was during Sunday school, taught by my father and Auntie Victoria Bedkin."
