May moved to Edmonton in 1904, where he was postmaster until 1913. He married Elizabeth Reid in 1890 and one of their sons was pilot Wilfred Reid "Wop" May. May dissolved a business with Arthur Mack in 1898, and began an implement dealership, called May & Hunt, in 1890. This business he sold to Fred Tilk in 1902.
