De FUNIAK CITIZEN
DIED LAST SUNDAY
Robert Edward May, Broker and Trav-
cling Salesman, Dies After Linger-
ing Illness.

Died, at De Funiak Springs, Fla,
Sunday evening, February 5, 1922, aft
cr a lingering illness, Robert Edward
May, SO years of age.
The form Of the foregoing simple
announcement would be all that were
necessary to convey to the world the
sad intelligence OF the going away of
the nations most heralded and best
beloved citizen, so why should 1t not
suffice to tell the story of the passing
to the great beyond OF one so humble,
so modest, so unobtrusive, as was Ed
May, Throughout all the years of his
life?
It may be that not a thousand men
in all Of the world knew Ed May by
sight or ever heard Of his name But
those who did know him appraised him
at the true value of his manhood and
loved him because OF his gentle, gener-
Gus, unselfish nature He was a victim
of the Great White Plague, and while
his pilgrimage upon that uncharted
journey of which none of us know any
thing was not unexpected, his pass
ing" was such a shock to those that
knew him best and loved him for his
geniality and generosity.
He was a native of the city of New
Orleans, where he lived until he came
to Pensacola to make his home some
fifteen years ago. He was by profes-
sion a salesman and from early man
hood until he located IN Pensacola to
enter the merchandise brokerage bust
ness, he was ION the road and was re-
garded as among the most ethical and
high class men of his craft. AS a
broker, his success was no less con- |
spicous than had been his career as
a travelling salesman, nor will his place |
represented in the capacity of broker. |
Weaknesses?
Frankly, yesI
But is it not written: LET him who |
is without sin, cast the first stone?"
Ed May was human, intensely hui
man!
His was nature as finespun as any
nature with which the world comes
in contact. Above all things else he
was honest; and he was the personifi-
cation of sincerity. He loved his fellow
man with q passionate affection, and
whatever he had of the worlds sub
stance he held in trust for division
with those less fortunate than he. In
consequence he died without a dollar.
But If they be men, there are many of
his craft and others who will renem-
Der him long ere his name has been
forgotten as a synonym Of generosity
and unselfishness. 81
With him when the end came was
his sister. Mrs. Annie NJ. Nebling,
whose home Is in New York. Besides
her he is survived by two brothers, |
whose homes are in New Orleans, and
q sister who lives in Iowa.
His remains will arrive in the city
from Dc Funiak Springs at 9:45 this |
and will be carried to the I'M
dertaking parlors of Nofthup & Wood, |
where funeral services viii be con- |
Quoted by the Independent Order OF
Elks of which order he was q member, |
and on the 1870 train tonight, accom- |
panied by a delegation of local EIks |
and Mrs. NebIng, the body will be |
carried to New Orleans, where It will |
be laid to rest in the family plot, where
are buried his father and mother.
A FRIEND.
