Knight of Baha'u'llah
Louise Groger died 22 March 1999 in California. She was born 11 April 1907 in San Francisco, California to a Catholic family. She became a Baha'i in 1936 and served on the Local Spiritual Assembly of San Francisco from 1938 to 1949. After the untimely death of her husband in 1950, Mrs. Groger pioneered to Puntas Arenas, at the southern tip of Chile. She remained there for two years before returning to the United States. After the launch of the Ten Year Crusade, Mrs. Groger decided to return to Chile. She settled on Chiloe Island - the first Baha'i to do so - and thus became the Knight of Baha'u'llah. She offered her home to young boarders, and sold fruit, jam, vegetables and flowers to earn her living, before her return to California.
The Universal House of Justice wrote after her passing,

ISLAND GREATLY LOVED LOUISE A. GROGER. HER SETTLEMENT AND
LONG YEARS PIONEER ING THIS REMOTE ISLAND WILL EVER ADORN
