Main Article Content
Abstract
Edna McKinney Tibbetts was one of the first very active American Bahá’ís. She was a daughter of Annie McKinney, who “…heard the Baha’i message from Mrs. [A.M.] Bryant in Denver, Colorado, in about 1898 and from the time of her [Annie’s] acceptance till her death she was a steadfast and faithful believer”. Edna was about 16 years old at the time and she also became a Bahá’í. This was just five years after the Bahá’í teachings were first publicly introduced in the United States at the 1893 World Parliament of Religions in Chicago.
