"He was such a sweet boy."
Melvin Russell May, aged 7 years, 2 months and 17 days, eldest child of Ira and Nettie May, was called home, October 2, 1922. Stricken with diphtheria that refused to yield to good care and medical aid, he was released from pain, leaving behind him a father, brother and two sisters, besides many other relatives and friends. His mother preceded him in death.
Melvin was a lovable child with a sunny disposition, and endeared himself to schoolmates and teacher. We leave him with Him who doeth all things well. ~Newton Press: 10-6-1922
