She grew up in Garfield County, attending the one-room schoolhouses of Union on Meadow Gulch, Gould City on Deadman Creek and Pataha Flat School. At the age of 12, she went to live at A.M. and Myrtle Gentry's home. They had a 6-week-old baby named Edith, and she helped take care of her. When it was time to go to school in the fall, they kept her on and sent her to school at the Philomathean school located at the foot of Sweeney Gulch. She remained with them and graduated from Pomeroy High school in May 1937. Mae met Earl Kuhn at a grange dance in 1935. They were married Nov. 6, 1937. They moved to the Kuhn farm on Sweeney Gulch and farmed there for 42 years. She was a seventh-degree member of the Grange, belonging to the Philomathean and Pleasant Grove granges for 59 years. She served as secretary of Philomathean Grange for 35 years and was a 4-H club leader for 15 years. She had also been a member of Philomathean Home Economics Club and the Garfield County Cowbelles. Mae put in a lot of time working on the fair building when it was first built and she was on the fair board for several years. Mae liked attending ball games, camping, fishing and traveling. She loved her flower and vegetable gardens and made many beautiful stained-glass pieces before she lost much of her eyesight to macular degeneration. She was a member of the Clarkston United Methodist Church. Mae and Earl retired to Clarkston in 1979, and they were married 60 years when he passed in 1998. She was also preceded in death by her son, Robert Wayne Kuhn; grandson Scott Kuhn; and 11 siblings.
