At about the age of 4, the family moved to Omaha, NE and then out to Utah. According to John's autobiography, his father disappeared (whether he died or left is uncertain) and his mother remarried. His step-father was very strict and John tried to run away several times. At the age of 11 John is found living with Edward & Nellie (Robertson) LeMay. This was as a result of a "flip of a dollar" with another person Edward worked with. John later took the name LeMay but left Humpert as his middle name. In his early teens, he was enrolled at the Shattuck Military Academy in Fairbault, MN. At the age of 16, he became a printer's apprentice and worked for several years during vacation time in Duluth MN, learning a great deal about the printing trade. John moved to South Dakota in 1896, and came to Northville in 1900, whereupon he purchased the Northville Journal, becoming its editor and publisher. On the 1st of May, 1902, he married Miss Mary Elsom, a Northville native, and daughter of Joseph Elsom.
