nos Epyeru, the second person of the
Teso tribe to accept the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh, suffered a stroke during the night of March 1, 1995, and ascended to the Abhá Kingdom from Soroti Hospital in Uganda. His body was buried the next day in Kumi.
Mr. Epyeru was seventy—eight at the time of his passing. Born in 1917 in Opot, Teso, Uganda, he trained as a teacher and held a bachelor’s degree in education. In 1937 he married Edisa Ilemungolet, and their marriage produced six children.
He became a Bahá’í in 1952, and during the Ten Year Crusade he pioneered to Eldotet in Kenya. During the time of the Intercontinental Teaching Conference in Uganda, he made a traveling teaching trip to Monrovia, Liberia.
Mr. Epyeru served on Local Assemblies, on the National Teaching Committee, and on the National Spiritual Assembly. He also worked to translate Bahá’í literature into Ateso—the language of his people.
