Henrietta Emogene Martin Hoagg - known to the Bahá'ís as
Emogene - learned of the Bahá'í Faith in California in 1898 from Mrs. Phoebe
Hearst, and after studying with Lua Getsinger became "the first confirmed
believer in California."
In 1899, in Milan, she received her first Tablet from
'Abdu'l-Bahá, in acknowledgment of her acceptance of the Faith of Bahá'u'lláh.
In 1900, she visited 'Abdu'l-Bahá in Haifa, and afterwards, at His suggestion,
studied for a month with the outstanding Bahá'í scholar Mirza Abdu'l-Fadl in
Port Sá'íd.
