Euphemia Davison (née MacDonald; 9 October 1906—26 November 1996), also known by the stage name May Moxon[1]), was a dancer and choreographer.
Her stage name is thought to have been taken from her grandmother May[2] and uncle Harold Moxon, an acrobat.
[3] Davison began her dance career performing with her mother Martha McCandlish and her brothers as 'The Four McLeans'[2] at venues across Scotland.
[3] Her legs were badly injured, but she refused to let the surgeons amputate as she was determined to continue a career in dance.
[4] She went on to form many more troupes who performed under various stage names including the 'Moxon Girls', 'Moxon Ladies' and 'May Moxon Lovelies' until her retirement in the 1970s.
