The Somerset herald. (Somerset, Pa.): April 27, 1892
Francis May, a one-armed veteran of the war and one of the best known men in
Somerset county, died at his home near Markleton, in Upper Turkeyfoot township at an
early hour Sunday morning, in the 62nd year of his age. Death resulted from heart
disease. Mr. May had only been confined to his home for a few days, the disease
coming upon him with such swiftness and violence that the skill of his able
physicians was baffled from the inception. The funeral took place 2 p. m. Monday and
was conducted by comrades of the G. A. R. post. Francis May enlisted in Co. H. 85th
Reg’t., Pa. Vols. (Maj. Jas. B. Tredwell’s original Co.) in October 1861. He was
mustered out September 18th, 1864, on a surgeon’s certificate of disability. He
leaves a wife and four or five grown children.
