Obituary on Jehu May, the subject of this sketch.
Brother Jehu May after a brief illness passed away February 2nd, 1899. He was born on October 24, 1817, aged 81
years, 3 months and 2 days. He was married to Elizabeth F. Thornhill, November 18, 1838, who still survives him. To them were born 11 children, seven of whom
still survive. He joined the Bogue Chitto Baptist Church by letter November 3, 1877, being a faithful member until God called him home. He was a faithful student of the Bible, which was a lamp to his feet and a light to his pathway, a
regular "landmarker" and he had the courage of his conviction ever ready to defend what he believed to be right. We extend to his wife and children our sympathy, and pray Gods grace to console and comfort. S.C. Walker, L.R.
