Fayetteville Democrat

Mr. J.H. McRoy died about 5 o’clock Tuesday evening after a long and painful illness. The funeral took place at 2 o’clock yesterday from the Christian Church, Rev. N.M. Ragland officiating. A large number of friends paid their last respects to the deceased by their presence. The body was interred in Evergreen Cemetery. Mr. McRoy came to Fayetteville in 1845 and before reaching his majority made the trip across the plains in 1849 to California where he remained for two years in the gold fields, returning in 1851. In 1852 he was married to Miss Jetra Coates, who with four children, survive him. Mr. McRoy has always been a good citizen, a kind-hearted, generous and charitable man. For more than 50 years he has been identified with this town and its people and his death removes another of the landmarks which are rapidly disappearing.
