     The information on this family comes directly from Geoffrey Brown's book, as this is his direct line. The marriage of May and Eugene had been scheduled to be held at the Bonnell Family farm but was held instead at Neversink as Eugene had the measles.
     They owned and operated a store in the village of Neversink Flats. Eugene also taught school and was involved in the conservation law enforcement. Around 1905, the couple decided to move to Burns, OR on a land grant that they had obtained. They sold the store in Neversink and traveled west as far as the railroads ran to Vale, OR and then continued by stagecoach traveling around the clock. At 3 AM, May determined that they would go no further; they transferred to the return stage and returned to Neversink via the Southern Pacific Railroad through Portland, San Francisco, Sacramento, San Antonio, Washington, DC, New York City, and Liberty, and opened a new store in competition to the one that they had just sold.
     May was actively involved with her husband in running the dry goods side of the store, performing most of the buying function on her twice a year trips to New York City. When on these trips, she stayed with Anna Kortright Apple, granddaughter of her mother, Sarah Ann Hotchkin, in New Rochelle. She suffered from degenerative arthritis in her later years, and died of heart disease. A resolution of respect from her local Rebeckan Lodge erroneously gives her date of death as 23 March 1956. Eugene also died of heart disease. Much of the information came from the recollections of their daughter, Helen Cross Brown.^3,4,5
