The Nellie Grey McFarland Endowment

In September of 2014, Nellie Grey McFarland, the oldest living member of Oxford Baptist Church, died at 105 years of age. Nellie Grey was raised on a Granville County tobacco farm by her grandfather and her mother after her father died when she was eight days old. During her early years, her family had no electricity, no running water, and no car. She was, however, raised by dedicated, loving Christians.

Nellie Grey graduated from high school and was a graduate of Duke University. She also earned a master’s degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She was a teacher, coach, school administrator and wife of O. D. McFarland who passed away in 1981.

Nellie Grey was a kind, generous, thoughtful Christian and a beloved friend of all who knew her. At her death, she left her entire estate to Oxford Baptist Church to be used to create and support “mission programs benefiting world hunger and the poor only.”

The McFarland Endowment is restricted for “mission programs to benefit world hunger and the poor only” and will be used for causes that qualify and are aligned to the McFarland Endowment Procedures and Practices. Allocations are made in accordance with the wishes of Mrs. McFarland and that are aligned to the Mission and Vision Statements of Oxford Baptist Church.
