ust 23, 1843, and died at his home in Remington, Indiana, on Sunday. March 9, 1919, at .the ate of 72 years, 6 months and 14 days. In his Infancy his parents left Virginia and came to Jasper county, Indiana, where he grew to manhood, and has made this county his permanent home. His father was a practical man in rearing his family, and all of his spns, including Jacob, were given some farm duties which they were expected to perform. When about fifteen years old, inheriting forty acres of land from his father's estate, he started out for himself as a farmer, but it was In the time of the civil war and men on every side were enlisting and he too, decided to volunteer. With ' this object its view he went to Indianapolis to enlist. When he reacned Indianapolis he learned that the regiment which he wished to Join was already completed, therefore 10 was not til] June 9, 1862, near Pittsburg, Pa., that he enlisted as a ‘member of Co. A, 11th U. S. Regulars. The first engagement in which he participated was the battle of Antetlam, following which were engagements at Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Mine Run. And whenever the battle of Gettysburg was mentioned in his hearing he most proudly told of the valor of bls regiment and Company, which went into the engagement 240 men and came out with only 118 survivors, he himself receiving a wound in the side in this battle Following tihis cams the battles of the Wilderness and in the series of engagements he was captured by the confederates and as (prisoner of war. Was taken to the prison at Andersonville, and later was to be taken to a prison at Florence. In transferring the prisoners from one prison to another the prisoners were driven in front of the soldiers in charge so that a rear attack by Federal soldiers qpuld * not recapture them. Because of those conditions Mr. May decided upon making a desperate attempt to get away and fortunately succeeded, and after many hazardous adventures finally rejoined his regiment, after the surrender of Richmond.

Although at the time of enlistment he was little more than a child, not sixteen years old, he went through three years of army life with the courage and strength of a to an, taking part in some of the greatest battles of the war. During the last part of his service he was transferred from Company A to Company B, in the same regiment, and was honorably discharged at Oanrp Winder, June 9, 1865. On December 3, 1868, Jacob A. May was. upited in (marriage with Elizabeth A. Ravenscroft. To this union five children were born: Elwood, who died at the age of fifteen years, Jessie, who died at the age of twelve years, Claude W. and Bertrand, the .two now living near Remington, and the fifth child, Artie, who died in Infancy. Last December 3, 1918, this couple passed th£ fiftieth mile stone of their married life. While he removed from the farm some six years ago and came to Remington to reside, it may be said that Mr. May followed an active life until the last. His was an orderly life and he. understood that with his failing health he was approaching death and said that he had no fear of meeting it. He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, Post No. 74, of Remington, and his fall makes andther break in the ‘‘Old Soldiers” rapidly depleting ranks. —Remington Press.
