1914 Virginia 

I didn't find anything else about May or her family. After reading all articles my conclusion is that she was a spoiled brat and when she didn't get her way she went to drastic measure until she did. The article mentioned a sister who stood up and fought for her, she must of loved May inmaesurably. I hope she turned her life around and became a lady and did something extraordinary with her life to of made her parents proud. I am sure they were very embarrassed by her actions.
