She was turned down as a nurse in WWlI because of mastoid trouble for which she eventually had to be operated. She was nurse at a cloth mill in Inman, S.C. where she pioneered many of the community health techniques used today. She made a profession of her work as a nurse. Though I saw her very seldom, I was very impressed by her and she influenced my life very much. Shortly before she died, a nurse told me there was nothing wrong with May other than old age except she could not see, or hear. She had a very sharp mind.
