Story

The H. McNelty School of the First Baptist Church

Born in Mississippi

JULY 29, 1929

Sister Edna E. McNelty was married to Rev. Harry McNelty of the First Baptist Church of Melrose Park, Illinois. She later became the Directress of The H. McNelty School of the First Baptist Church.

​

They both were advocates of uplifting Black people and relentlessly worked to do so until both closed their eyes and went to be with the Lord.

"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and contempt. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever."
-Daniel 12:2-3
