Frank Hoffman
Albert Frank Hoffman (d. May 24, 1950) was an early Chicago Bahá’í who assisted with facilitating the publication of the earliest English language Bahá’í literature.
Background[edit]
In 1900 Hoffman co-established the first Bahá’í publishing company in the United States with Charles Greenleaf and Arthur S. Agnew and was one of the co-owners of the body,[1] assisting with its functioning for its first year of operations.[2] He also wrote to the Bahá’í community of Racine to provide advice on establishing administration of the community that year.[3]
Hoffman corresponded with Shoghi Effendi after he began serving as Guardian of the Bahá’í Faith in 1921.[4] He passed away in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1950.[5]
