Death of Mr.  Huff May

Obituary provided by Charlotte Patterson. According to the death index, Mr.  May died in 1929.

On the 12th day of June, the home of Mrs. Huff May was made sad when the death angel visited and carried away her husband and the father of eight children living. Mr. May had been in ill health for many years, but was in bed only a few days. We can not understand why he had to go but we know that God does every thing well. His place is vacant that can never be filled. His voice is still and his footsteps are silent. But the ones who knew him best, believed he is happy and numbered among the angels.

He is survived by a wife, Mattie May, three sons, Vernon May of Eutaw, Walter and Marvin May of Knoxville and five daughters, Nannie, Allie, Bessie and Buena May of Knoxville, and Mrs. Lester Spender of Eutaw. He is also survived by sisters, and other relatives. His body is now sleeping in the graveyard at New Hop church.

A Niece.
