Williams and Sarah Strahl OBITUARY THE CHARITON HERALD-PATRIOT Chariton, Iowa Thursdsay, May 4, 1922 MRS. MARGARET MAY Margaret Williams, daughter of David and Sarah Williams, was born May 13, 1847, in Somerton, Ohio, and departed this life at 5 o'clock on Monday morning, April 24, 1922, at the home of her son, Charles May, near Williamson, Iowa. At the age of six years she came with her parents by boat to Iowa, settling on a farm in Jefferson county, near Fairfield. She was left motherless at the age of thirteen years, after which she made her home with her sisters until her marriage. On November 9, 1871 she was married to Darius Bell. Only two short years passed when death came into the home, taking her young companion and leaving her with an infant son to mourn his going. She remained a widow for six years and was then married on Nov. 25, 1878 to Joshua May. They took up residence on the old home farm in English township and lived there until October 1, 1902, when she was again deprived of her husband. She was the mother of four children, Melvin D. Bell, of English township; Sarah J. Messler, of Lacona; Charles T. May, of Williamson; and Mrs. Lola Pentzel, of Fairfield, all of whom, with eight grandsons and one granddaughter, survive her. Mrs. May is the last of a family of ten children. For several years she has been in failing health and since her husband's death has made her home with her children, who have been untiring in their love and devotion and have done everything possible for her comfort. She joined the Presbyterian in early life and was a faithful worker and attendant until failing health prevented. Mrs. May's family life was ideal and her neighborhood for miles around felt the influence of her gentle, kindly spirit. Beauty of form and feature may have added to something, but the grace of her spirit outshone all else and bound her friends to her with strong cords of love and affection. Many hearts are saddened by the departure of this good woman, but while her passing from this world is mourned all have the assurance of her sojourning in our Father's House of the unending life. Funeral services were held at the English Presbyterian church Wednesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Frank Larrick, of Derby. Interment was in Spring Hill cemetery.
