Mary Laura "May" Herron



Believed to be Mary Laura "May" Herron. Census records for the Herron family indicate a daughter born in 1875 who is called "Mary L." one year, and "Laura" ten years later. There is no listing for a "May" but it would seem that this is a nickname for their daughter who was born May 23, 1875 and who died April 10, 1906.

The top of the stone reads: "May, daughter of W.A. and S.E. Herron." The inscription at the bottom reads: "Though lost to sight to memory dear. How desolate our home bereft of thee."
