I am trying to locate the papers of H. Leo Eddleman. He was president of
Georgetown College, 1954-58 and president of New Orleans Theological
Seminary, 1958-1970.
Born in 1911, in Morgantown, Mississippi, Eddleman graduated from
Mississippi College. After finishing his doctorate at Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky, in 1935, he was appointed as a
missionary to Palestine, where he worked for six years in Jerusalem, Tel
Aviv, and Nazareth. During his stay in Palestine, he married Sarah Fox,
another missionary. As war threatened to engulf Palestine in 1941,
Eddleman returned to the United States to teach Old Testament and Hebrew
at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisiana. He taught there
for over a year before moving to Louisville to assume the pastorate of
Parkland Baptist Church. He stayed for ten years. In addition to being a
pastor, Eddleman served as superintendent of the church’s elementary
school principal and as a professor of Hebrew and Old Testament at
Southern Seminary. He was also moderator of the General Association of
Baptists in Kentucky.
Can anybody help me?
