The Rev. Dr. Ibrahim G. Kheiralla and his daughters, Miss Nabiha and Miss Labiha, who arrived here yesterday on the steamship St. Louis, have returned from a visit to the interior of Persia, accompanied by some Americans. Dr. Kheiralla was a clergyman of the Church of England, but withdrew from his charge some years ago and went to Persia as the pupil of a Persian community and brotherhood from which he emerged with radical views concerning the interpretation of the Bible. All teaching by members of the brotherhood is imparted orally, and persons to whom it is given promise to receive no pay or reward of any character for imparting it to others. Those who can grasp the teachings, it is claimed, become members of a great mystic fraternity possessing occult powers. This fraternity, it is said, has many members in the United States, and recently a small company of the initiated, under the guidance of Dr. Kheiralla, left this country to visit the heads of the fraternity in Persia and to receive special communications." *[http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=7602&iid=ILT623_286-0445&fn=Abraham&ln=Kheiralla&st=r&ssrc=&pid=11491636 1900 Census of Chicago, Cook County, Illinois] showing "Abraham Kheiralla, Head, Nov 1849, born Turkey, immigrated 1892, Missionary work; Labida, daughter, May 1877, born Turkey, immigrated 1899; George, son, Apr 1879, born Turkey, immigrated 1896, Doctor of Medicine; Harif Schehab, Head, Dec 1869, married one year ago, born Turkey, immigrated 1899, Salesman Oriental Goods; Nabida, wife, May 1875, married one year ago, born Turkey" *''Historical Newspapers, Birth, Marriage... online at www.ancestry.com "15 Apr 1904 Ibrahim G Kheiralla, Augusta S Linderborg" *[http://www.h-net.org/~bahai/notes/vol2/ch.1903-04.html A few mentions of him] by [[Thornton Chase]] *[http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=7884&iid=ILT624_268-0266&fn=Ibrahim+G&ln=Kheiralla&st=r&ssrc=&pid=4982884 1910 Census of Chicago, Cook County, Illinois] showing "Ibrahim G Kheiralla, head, 60, married first time, 6 years ago, born Turkey, immigated in 1893, Author; Augusta, wife, 56, married first time, 6 years ago, mother of zero, born Finland, immigated in 1876, Medical Doctor; Etta Streeter, Lodger, 33, widow, mother of zero, born Indiana, Own Income; Bertha Lyons, Lodger, 31, Single, born Indiana, Saleslady" *[http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=7602&iid=ILT623_286-0445&fn=Abraham&ln=Kheiralla&st=r&ssrc=&pid=11491636 World War I Draft Registration] showing "George I Kheiralla, resident of Rapid City, South Dakota, born Apr 25, 1879; Export Merchant, self-employed in Rapid City; nearest relative Anna Kheiralla wife of Rapid City.
