SUDDEN DEATH OF WELL KNOWN CITIZEN
George McCoy, of McCoysburg, Died Suddenly Wednesday Morning at His Home
George McCoy, an aged and highly respected citizen of Jasper County, died quite suddenly Wednesday afternoon at his home in McCoysburg, across the street from the home of his son Reed, the well known merchant of that place. Mr. McCoy had been in poor health for some time, but had been feeling about as well as usual lately. Tuesday he was taken quite sick and nothing could be done to relieve him and he sank rapidly until the end came. He would have been 84 years of age had he lived until October 27th. He was a brother of Alfred McCoy, the former well known Rensselaer banker and stockman.
He came to Jasper County in 1855 and settled near McCoysburg, where he lived until he sold out some years ago and went to Grant County, near Marion, where his daughter, Mrs. Ella Kelly, lived. He later returned and located on a farm north of Lee, and across the White County line, where he lived until about a year ago, when he moved to McCoysburg. His first wife was a sister of Ezra and Holdridge Clark, of this city. Two children born to that union survive, viz., Alfred E., who lives near Gifford, and Mrs. Ella Kelly, of Marion. After the death of his first wife in 1864 he was married to Naomi Ott, and to this union two children, Reed, of McCoysburg, and Frank of Indianapolis, were born. He is survived by his second wife and the four children.
The funeral will be held Friday morning at 10 o'clock at the school house in McCoysburg, and the remains will be shipped to Marion, where burial will be made.
Mrs. William Daniels and George and John Ott are related to the deceased by his second marriage.

OBITUARY OF GEORGE McCOY
George McCoy fell asleep and passed to the beyond August 23, 1911, aged 84 years, 9 months and 27 days. He was born Oct. 26, 1827, near Lisbon, Ohio, where he lived until 1854, when he moved to Jasper County on a farm near McCoysburg. He was married to Ruth Clark in the year 1849. To them five children were born of which Alfred E., and Ella M. Kelley are still living. In 1863 his wife Ruth passed to the beyond.
He was married to Naomi Ott in 1864, and to this union three children were born, of whom two are still living, Reed and Frank P. These four children and the wife were present to mourn the loss of husband and father, a friend to all and a neighbor who was noted for the many kindly deeds, always ready to lend a helping hand and will long be remembered as a true friend and neighbor.
For a number of years his body was frail, but his strong will-power seemed to tide him over many serious attacks of sickness. His last sickness was of less than twenty-four hours duration and he passed away wearing that ever-peaceful smile he so often greeted us with in life.
The funeral was held at McCoysburg Friday morning at 10 o'clock conducted by Rev. E. M. Kuonen of the Barkley circuit. Burial in Marion cemetery on Saturday morning at 9 o'clock.
The funeral will be held Friday morning at 10 o'clock at the school house in McCoysburg, and the remains will be shipped to Marion, where burial will be made.
