We have been unable to learn any particulars as to the funeral, but presume hat interment was made at Otho, Iowa, where his wife and son are buried. Mr. May was 70 years of age, being born in 1841, in Durham county, England. He came to this country in 1881, locating in Iowa, and following the death of his wife there moved to Higbee. A more honest or honorable citizen never lived among us, and the news of his death came as a shock to all who knew him. He is survived by five children--Thomas, Nicholas, John, Richard and Miss Susie. The NEWS joins the community in sympathy to the bereaved ones.
