A. J. Harman d: 27 May 1914 Ford farm south of Prestonsburg, buried in May Cemetery. Age at death: 43 Farm south of Prestonsburg owned by Maggie's father, Edward Ford. Sometime before 1908, possibly as early as 1906, Lee moved his family to the farm Maggie's father purchased from John Mayo in 1904. The large two-story frame home near the riverbank on the "Ford farm" suited the May family very well. Southie, Tommie, Curtis and Josephine stayed at the Ford hotel with their grandparents during the week, when attending school in Prestonsburg. Lee was Sheriff of Floyd County from 1910 to 1914. Maggie died on the farm in 1914 and about 1924 Lee moved back to town. May Cemetery in Prestonsburg, KY Gravestone of Lee P.
