Mr. McCoy was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him, because of his honest, fair dealings with his fellowman and his exemplary life of good deeds. He was devoted to his family and kind and courteous to his friends. His passing has caused a pall of sorrow over the entire county where he was widely-known.
The deceased is survived by his wife, the former Miss Emma Kate Nelson of Celina; and three children, a son, Lee McCoy, by a former marriage and two daughters, Miss Robbie Kathryn McCoy who is attending college in Denton; and Miss Emma Sue McCoy, a McKinney High School student.
