General Notes: Husband - Charles W. May

---

He was married in 1848, and resided in Allegheny and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, until 1859, when they moved to Beaver. At the breaking out of the war of the rebellion he raised a company of soldiers and was commissioned captain of the same Nov. 13, 1861. The company was assigned to the 101st Regiment, P. V., and known as Company F. They took part in the siege of Yorktown, the engagements at Williamsburgh, Va., Fair Oaks or Seven Pines, the seven days' battle before Richmond, the engagements at Kinston, N. C., Whitehall, N. C. and Goldsboro, N. C., also in the skirmishes at Blackwater, Va., and South West Creek. He had command of the regiment after the battle of Fair Oaks, but resigned Jan. 17, 1863. He then removed to Pittsburgh, being employed as a master and pilot of steam-boats on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and lived there until 1875, when he moved to Beaver Falls. He was elected to council for the 6th ward Feb. 18, 1879. He established the hardware store of May & Co. June 19, 1879, and continued in business until September, 1886, when he sold out to Merriman & Dawson.
