According to his death record, Charles Edward died on May 10, 1934 of Chronic Nephritis and senility. He had been a farmer by trade. He was a widower at the time of his death. He was buried in Maple Lawn Cemetery according to his death record but I am unable to find a photo of his Tombstone.  There are other May Family members in this cemetery including his son Lewis Phillip May.
