Read More	Artemissia May Best Workman was born to polygamist James May and Rhoda Ann Lang May in what was known as the "Calls Fort" area (between Brigham City and Honeyville) of Utah, U.S.A., probably in the old James May home. She was schooled in Cardston, Alberta, Canada area schools and was a member of the Women's Provincial Championship basketball team coached by school principal J.T. "Jim" Ross, after finishing school. Mish (Artemissia's nickname) first clerked in Cardston and then founded the "Model Millinery" women's dry goods and hat store with her sister Eunice. The store was successful, even after Eunice moved on in 1930 and Artemissia ran it well into the 1950's when she retired. Mish first married Fred W. Best, a farm implements agent for the Massey Harris Company. He died in a car accident on Kimball hill in 1918. He was about 45 years old. Many years later, she married Joseph M. Workman, a livestock dealer and divorced father of six children. Joseph had been very active in the Mormon church prior to moving to Cardston. Mish did not leave a legacy of children, but rather one of work and the entrepreneurial spirit that has appeared time and time again throughout generations of Mays.
