DEATH AND FUNERAL<BR>
<BR>
It will be sad, sad news to her friends and the friends of her popular husband to read that Mrs. May, 
wife of Captain Sam May, of this city, is dead. After an illness of about 2 weeks, she breathed her 
last on Thursday afternoon the 10th inst., at 4-1/2 o'clock, and thus passing away to that world 
where there is no more sickness nor death. A long funeral cortege yesterday followed her remains to 
their last home in Myrtle Hill. We are sure no one could have the condolence of the community more 
than her bereaved husband in this his hour of sore affliction."
