• Notes

  May's mother was too ill with "consumption" to take care of her children. In 1900 they appear in the census in the Clinton Co. Children's house (May was 6 and Curtis was 13). In 1910 she appears as a servant in the household of John Rush in Pickaway Co., Ohio. Later she sent May with her brother on a train when May was 10-13 years old, to work as a hired girl on a farm in Martinburg, West Virginia. She was raised and sent to school by the family there. They sent her barrels of apples from the farm even after she was married because she was like one of their own family. May came home when her mother got sick and took care of her until her death and only then got married herself. Wilmington News-Journal, Wilmington, Ohio - 11 Jun 1928, Mon Decoration Day guests in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Moore were, Mr. and Mrs. Mead Lupp, and daughter, Carey Moore, of Dayton, Mr. and Mrs. George Albert, of Miamisburg; Mr. and Mrs. Lee Bisher and children, of Springfield; Robert Hardesty, of Xenia, and Curt Taylor, of New Burlington.
