Albert Edward May died at West Hartford, Connecticut, U.S.A., in January, 1930.
An American by birth, he spent the whole of his professional career in the Western Continent, and mostly in the United States. His technical training was acquired at the Michigan Mining School, and at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, where he graduated with the degree of M.E. in 1896. After a short engagement with the Sellers Ore Co., Minnesota, he was for four years in the employ of the Eastern Oregon Mining Co. as assayer and superintendent of plant.
In 1901 he went to Brazil as reduction officer to the Lathom Gold Mining Co., Ltd., at Caethe, Minas Geraes, where he remained for some years. He was back in the United States, in Texas, in 1918, and shortly afterwards established himself at Brookline, Massachusetts, where he practised in a consultative capacity. In 1929 he removed to West Hartford.
Mr. May was elected an Associate of the Institution in 1902.
