ISU The May Agency | Serving Southern Indiana for 3 Generations
The May Agency has provided insurance expertise to central and southern Indiana for three generations and over 70 years. Charles H “Bus” May founded the agency in 1949. “Bus” started the insurance agency in Ellettsville, Indiana, after returning from his service in World War II. “Bus” also owned a prosperous residential/commercial construction business, and by 1967, he realized he needed help managing the insurance business. He called his son, Paul May, and asked him, “Would you like to give it a shot?” Paul decided to give it a try and found he enjoyed the insurance business. Shortly after starting in the insurance business, Paul was drafted and spent the next two years serving in the military. When he returned to Bloomington after his military service, the company opened a second office in Bloomington. Eventually, it combined the two offices into one Bloomington office located at the corner of 17th Street and Walnut Street since the late 1970s. Paul’s daughter, Sarah May, joined the company in 2002.
