I've used my handy-dandy 1895 U.S. Atlas; but I can't locate May, Texas. It's supposed to be in Brown County. If someone can describe its location to me, I'd appreciate it. I believe my ancestor, Mary Elizabeth Hope Crunk Ridgway, and possibly others, may be buried there. Sheila
May, Texas is located approximately 17 miles north on US Hwy.183. I have distant cousins that live in May. The May cemetery is not far off the Hwy. I have a book of cemetery listings of the cemeteries in Brown Co., It list one Ridgeway, on pg 199, and that was Clear Creek Cemetery. Unless I overlooked the name on that page it was not listed. Since I am not from Brown Co., I am not very familiar with the area, only since attending annual reunions am I learning where places are. Hope this helps.

May, Texas, is about 17 miles north of Brownwood, on US 183, according to the contemporary Rand McNally altas I have. I grew up in Brownwood and remember May, but it's easily been 50 years since I was through there and can't vouch for what you will find now.
