"In July May gave birth to a baby girl while her husband was fighting in the front lines in France. Soon after, word came to her that he was missing in action. Weeks and months drug past. Then word came officially that he was dead.
She had been left a bride, now a mother and a widow. Her heart was heavy but she would face it some way. This is life. More months passed and plans were being made for their future. Then one day while she was at church in 1919 her husband came walking in. What a surprise. Such a shock. Lots of joy and excitement.
But, he had not come back to her the same fine, strong bridegroom whom had left her, for he had been in wars and been wounded and aged in battle. His health had been broken to a certain extent. Instead of strength to no limit, he was shell-shocked and had terrific headaches. He had a hard time staying on a job. There was nervousness, discouragement, all of this he gave and took to give her and all of us liberty and freedom of worship, to live and do."
