In December of 2005, an important piece of history was destroyed when the building at 4553 N. Milwaukee Avenue was demolished. This structure had been the place of business for the John V. May Funeral Home for over 80 years. Between 1914 and 2004, more people passed though the John V. May Funeral Home on the way to their final resting place than any other funeral home in the area.John V. May, born in 1888, was a life-long resident of Chicago. The 1910 Census records indicate that he lived in Jefferson Park with his 56 year-old father, John Sr. and his mother, Kate. At this time, May Jr. was most likely working with his father at a delicatessen at 4357 N. Milwaukee Avenue, which the family operated until 1914.
