MAY - ARCHIBALD - S. - - - 5-30-1854 - 1-28-1936 - HUGHES Cemetery

Archibald S. May, a well-known farmer of St. Francis County and numbered among
its younger citizens, was born in that county in 1854, being the son of R. A.
and L. C. May, natives of North Carolina and Georgia, respectively. With the
exception of a few months spent in Texas he has passed his entire life in
Arkansas. Mr. May was not fortunate in receiving a liberal education, the
advantages at the period of his boyhood being far from satisfactory, but by
constant and close application to study of late years he is conversant with many
topics of importance of the past and present. He was married in December, 1888,
to Miss Mollie Taylor, a daughter of James H. and Lucinda C. Taylor of Arkansas.
Mr. May is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and also of the
Wheel. His principal business is that of stock raising, and he is a man who
stands high in his community-possessing true worth and integrity and being a
liberal supporter of all public enterprises.
