Note:   From: "San Jose Mercury Herald", 17 May 1919 EARLY PIONEER DIES AT BROTHER'S HOME --- William Henry May, One of State's Early Settlers, Dead at Advanced Age. --- William Henry May, one of the early pioneers of the west and for the past 35 years a resident of this state, passed away May 13, 1919, at the home of his brother, E. A. May, at 3424 Roosevelt avenue, Berkeley. The May family, of which the deceased was the fifth child and one of the eight children, have a notable history as pioneers in the west and especially in the settling of this state. Four of their number have died in California after a residence of 30 years and none before they reached the advanced age of 73 years, that of William H. May being 81 years of age. They family are all long lived, the father being 92 when he passed away. The deceased leaves two brothers, E. A. May of Berkeley, and R. R. May of this city. ACTIVITIES OF DECEASED In his early life, Mr. May was closely connected with the activities of the western pioneer countries, working on the construction and maintenance of the first telegraph line to the coast, through what was then hostile Indian country. He was also engaged in the early mining in Wyoming and Colorado, and was familiar with the territory where the great mines were discovered. He lived in the new large cities of these states when they were simply mining camps and was personally acquainted with the pioneer celebrities of those states. Mr. May was in Denver, Colo., at the time "Wild Bill" was made marshal in order to deliver the town from the reign of "gun men." He came to California in 1874, residing in Tulare county and at Morro until 1912, when he came to this city to make his home with his brother, E. A. May. He was the brother of the late O. G. May and of R. R. May of San Jose. His wife died 20 years ago, and he had no children. Private funeral services were held at the Oakland Crematory Wednesday, May 14. *** Timeline: 1838: born New York - worked on transcontinetal telegraph (1861) - mined in Wyoming and Colorado 1870: Possibly in Bingham Canyon, Salt Lake, Utah Territory (mining area)? 1874: Moves to California (obit) 1880: Resides Tule River, Tulare, California (Federal census) 1898: Resides Orosi, Tulare, California (Voter Reg) 1900: Resides Morro, San Luis Obispo, California (Federal census); 1912: Moves to Berkeley, Alameda, California (obit) 1919: Dies Berkeley, Alameda, California (obit)
