She was the daughter of Thomas P. James and Missouri Light James. She was the wife of Caleb Wesley Presnall.
MRS. MAY J. PRESNALL LAID TO REST HERE THIS MORNING
Beautiful in its simplicity, pathetic in the circumstances it called to mind was the funeral of Mrs. C. W. Presnall which took place at ten o'clock this morning from the Campbell-Lewis Mortuary.
The chapel was filled with friends of the deceased and a fragrant bower of floral offerings covered and surrounded the casket where it rested under the chapel arch. Rev. Frank Harper Hays of the First Presbyterian church and Rev. H. C. Henderson of the South Methodist church conducted the service and spoke with feeling the comforting words that were solace to aching hearts. There was no music. No anthems were sung. The soft measured words of the ministers in their turn alone touched the silently responsive chords in the room where so many had gathered to pay their last respects to the deceased.
Members of the Rotary club in a body were present. The service was short, lasted not quite half an hour, and then the funeral cortege wended its way to a grave in the Masonic cemetery where Rev. Davis of Des Moines, N.M., pastor of the church attended by the mother of the deceased, Mrs. Thomas James, spoke a benediction. Pallbearers were E.H. Jeffryes, W. R.. Lewis, J. H. Harmon, Carl Frymire, O. M. Hood, and B. A. Rhoades.
Attending the funeral from nearby places were some close relatives and friends of the deceased and her husband. The mother of the deceased, Mrs. Thomas James of Des Moines, N.M., two brothers, John James of Des Moines and Light James of Clayton, N. M., and their families, sister and brother-in-law, Mr. And Mrs. W. H. Plunkett of Clayton. Mrs. Wood of Vernon, Tex., sister of Dr. Presnall, was present with her daughter, Anna May, and Dr. and Mrs. Edmondson of Clayton, intimate friends.
Surviving Mrs. Presnall besides her mother and the two brothers and one sister present at the funeral, are four other sisters. They are Mrs. Dove J. Kennedy of Huxley, Alberta, Canada; Mrs. E. B. Jordan of Weatherford, Tex.; Mrs. O. W. Gibbons of Dallas, Tex., and Mrs. H. B. Drew of Winters, Cal.
