From the Sullivan County Democrat, Callicoon, New York in September of 1967: BEGIN Jeanne Graner and Theodore Kille, both of Long Eddy, were united in marriage on September 16, at the Hankins Assembly of God Church. END transcription of Misc->3.44.jpg From the Echo, Long Eddy, New York in the Winter of 1984 (Vol III, No 6): BEGIN John May of Eminence Mr. May and his wife, Eva Emrick came to America shortly after the Civil War and were members of that large group of Ofer-Lois Germans who emigrated to America in that period and settled on the Basket. The Mays chose to settle in Eminence high on a mountain side over looking a beautiful valley below. Mr. and Mrs. May had one son Charles, who was seven years of age when they came to this country. Mr. May was a hard working man and a good farmer, and became widely known for his honesty. Like the other German settlers of that day, Mr. May gradually became familar with the English language, but he had a knack of putting such a humorous twist to his words, that his sayings were widely quoted and long remembered. Mrs. May lived to the age of eighty four, and a monument in the Red School House Cemetery bears the inscription, "Eva May, 1817-1901." Mr. May was at an advanced age when he lost his wife, and his son Charles, who owned the present John May farm in Goulds, tried to persuade his father to come and live with him. Mr. May, however, decided to employ a house keeper and spend his remaining years on the farm he had cleared and worked so long. It was about this time that the old Fernwood schoolhouse burned, and Mrs. Sarah Scott, who had been living in the building, was without a home. The old Fernwood District No. 11 had been discontinued in the late 1890's and by mutual consent of the taxpayers, Mr. Scott, who was working with Wallace LaValley on a wood chopping job, moved into the building. After Mr. Scott was taken with a sun stroke, his widow and young daughter, Gladys, made their home there until an early morning fire destroyed the building and all their possessions. When Mr. May heard of Mrs. Scotts misfortune he made arrangements for her to come and keep house for him, and a year later in 1902 Sarah Scott and John May were married. Mr. May was a kind and loving father to Gladys. Many years later Gladys married John Hall and had two children, a son Lewis and a daughter Katherine. The Halls stayed on with the elderly Mays and operated the farm until the time of Mr. May's death in 1927. John then moved his family to the former Fred Beecher place in Rock Valley where Sarah May continued to make her home with her daughter and family until she died in 1937. - Katherine (Hall) Kille END From the Sullivan County Democrat, Callicoon, New York dated March 5, 1996: BEGIN Katherine Kille Homemaker, 72 Katherine Kille of Liberty, a homemaker and a lifelong area resident, died Wednesday, February 27, 1996, at the Wayne County Memorial Hospital in Honesdale, Pa.
