"May", as she prefered to be called was a wonderful cook. She graduated from "Normal School", a teaching school and was also a court stenographer.
May was always beautifully dressed and stylish. She had her own dressmaker.
She married Herbert Astle on September 24, 1900, they didn't have any children. She was his 2nd wife.
She had breast cancer but did survive it, although she became withdrawn because it was so devastating and she had to have one or both breasts removed, I am not sure which. She died of old age, three years after her twin.
Twins run every other generation on the maternal side in our family. May and Jennie's grandaughters: Martha and Jean are twins (who died at 97, on the same day, one trying to save the other!).
