Ruth White is most well-known as a Baha'i who challenged the authenticity of the will of Abdul Baha, the recently deceased former leader of the faith.  Most mentions of her life are quite abrupt, giving little to no background from which to form a biography.  This article serves to correct that imbalance.
  
 
In an online genealogy, unsourced, it is said that her birth name was Emma Decker, that her parents were Peter Decker and Anna Geiger and that she was born in Brooklyn.  Based on her several entries in the Ships logs below I think she was more-then-likely born in Litchfield County, [[Connecticut]].  Her birthday of 27 Jun is consistent, her birthyear being either 1886 or 1888.  I believe that someone has merged two different women together.
