McCOY, John - {from Elm Springs) The funeral and burial of John McCoy, whose death occurred at Robinson Thursday night, took place at Elm Springs Saturday. The Masonic lodges of Robinson and Elm Springs had charge of the burial while the funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Y.A. Gilmore. Alex Greathouse and W.S. Luper, old friends of the deceased, made short talks at the funeral. Mr. McCoy was a Christian and for years had been an exhorter in the Methodist church. He found no greater pleasure than in the services at the house of God. He was not successful financially but he left his family a richer heritage in his good name than if he had bequeathed houses and lands. Mrs. Jesse Delozier of this place is a sister of the deceased.
