File info[edit]

Caption A memorial service was held October 2nd 1966 at the gravesite in Inglewood Cemetery in California, of Thornton Chase, the very first American believer of the Bahá'í World Faith. This spot has a very special significance to the many Bahá'ís who unfailingly come from near and far to assist at this commemoration, as it was specially blessed by 'Abdu'l-Bahá Himself in 1912 when he dedicated it as a holy place. The Bahá'í Victory chorus sang some hauntingly beautiful songs as prayers were read and flowers were laid on the tombstone.
