Mr. May has well deserved the prosperity which he now enjoys, for he has risen almost entirely through his own well directed efforts and sterling characteristics. Commencing in life at the foot of the ladder which leads to success, he has, year by year, ascended in the scale, until he is now the proprietor and owner of six hundred acres of well improved farm land. Mr. May was born March 4, 1848, near Wentzville, upon the farm where he makes his home. His father, Charles D. May, was a native of Rockingham County, N.C.; while his mother, who in her girlhood Mildred Remy, was born in Kentucky. Capt. Charles P. May, the grandfather of our subject, was one of the first settlers of St. Charles County, to which he came in 1830. He was a gallant soldier in the War of 1812, and was one of the sturdy pioneers who helped to lay the solid foundations of the prosperity which now has come to this section of the state. Charles D. May was a farmer by occupation, and was also a tobacco manufacturer. He died June 12, 1881, and his wife, whose death occurred some years previously, departed this life February 24, 1876. They were the parents of seven sons and one daughter, of whom only six sons still survive. Robert F. is the only one of the family now living within this county. Mr. May, whose name heads this sketch, received his education in the school at Rockingham, but his privileges for obtaining knowledge were somewhat limited. In the fall of 1864 he enlisted in the Confederate army as a private soldier, and served for six months. Returning to St. Louis, he obtained employment there for a short time, and in the summer of 1865 worked for Walter S. Pitts, who was then operating the old homestead belonging to his father. Later he was in the employ of Benjamin F. Walker, after which in company with his brother, Charles P., and two of the younger sons, he managed the home farm during the summer of 1866. April 3, 1867, Mr. May was united in marriage with Victoria A., daughter of R. W. Scruggs, of this township, and the young couple continued to live at the home of Mrs. May's father for the next two years. For the four years following they resided on a portion of the Warren W. Walker Farm, which they leased from the owner. In the fall of 1872 Mr. May purchased the old farm, a tract of eighty acres, and has since lived thereon. From time to time he has added to his possessions, which now number six hundred acres. He is a practical and progressive agriculturist, and is fully abreast of the times in whatever pertains to farm management. Politically he is a Democrat. The union of Mr. and Mrs. May has been blessed with nine children, six of whom are living, as follows: Robert A., Sarah Mildred, Victoria A., Albert Warren, Dryden and Katie. Robert A., the eldest, is now attending the Missouri State University, is preparing himself for the Bar, and will graduate in 1895. Victoria A. is receiving her education at Woodlawn Seminary, and the other children have all been given good advantages. Henry Miles passed away at the age of thirteen years; Nora Lee when nineteen; and Emma Cleveland when three months old.
