The earliest Bahá'ís living in Ireland are thought to have been the Culver family. Henry Culver was the U.S. consul in Queenstown (now Cobh) from 1906 to 1910. He and his wife were Bahá'ís, but appear to have treated their faith as a private matter, perhaps because of Henry's official position. They had learned of the Faith from the Magee family while living in London, ON. In 1910, Henry was appointed United States Consul in St John, New Brunswick, and the family arrived there that September. Despite his almost immediate attempt to be transferred back to Europe, Henry spent the remainder of his consular career there, retiring from the service in 1924. In 1925, Henry and Mary moved to Eliot, Maine, and were active in the Bahá'í community there and with Green Acre Bahá'í School. Henry died in 1936 and Mary in 1937.
