MMUUS PAST PRESIDENTS

Following is a list of all those who have served as presidents of May Memorial in its long history. The church’s archival records have not revealed the names of anyone serving as president and/or board chairman earlier than 1890, although we trace our roots back to around 1835. Several people began playing leadership roles in those early years. Certainly there were people who served in a top leadership role, but different titles no doubt were used. Examine our two church histories on-line for information on early leaders.

Including only the names of presidents does little to account for the many people who have served this institution in a leadership role. However, they can serve as a symbol of the many dedicated people who have volunteered their time to ensure the development and continuation of our hallowed organization.
