Description

May MacFarlane was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1873. She was the third child of Daniel MacFarlane and Mary MacQueen MacFarlane. She had a younger brother and a younger sister. She suffered a childhood illness early in life which left her almost totally deaf; however she learned to read lips when she was quite young. She was a very independent thinker even with her hearing disability. Her father Daniel was a captain on the Great Lakes for a ship that carried iron ore to processing plants. Her mother Mary was a housewife some 10 years younger. In 1882, when May was eight years old, her mother died of consumption (TB). Her father hired housekeepers to help raise the children for a few years. In 1889, at his sisters pleading, Daniel sent the three youngest children by train to Pullman, Washington to live with his sister Hannah Elizabeth "Libbie" (née MacFarlane) Crawford (1841-1900) and her husband Jacob "Jake" Barclay Crawford (1840-1918). May was only 15 years of age at that time and was very small. However, she was put in charge of her younger brother Johnnie and her little sister Bessie on the train trip west. She was a strong woman, even at such a young age. Jake owned and operated a meat market in Pullman, Washington at the time. The children lived with Jake and Libbie for several years. In 1892, May married Charles Leonard Hull (1860-1946) who was the son of Harvey and Anna (née Crawford) Hull who homesteaded on Spring Flat Creek between Colfax and Pullman.
