Saturday night, S. McCoy, an old and respected citizen, died at his home in Celina and was buried in Cross Roads Cemetery. Mr. McCoy was born in Alabama in 1854 and was therefore 57 years old at the time of his death. When a young man, Mr. McCoy settled in Louisiana, and it was there he married the wife who survives him. After living in Wise County for a short time the family moved to Celina. As a result of that union, eight children were born - four boys and four girls - all of whom are living in Celina, except two, J. R., E. A., and D. A. McCoy live in Celina, Texas while the other brother W. E. McCoy lives at Marble Falls, Texas. The daughters are Mrs. F. M. Bennett, Mrs. W. L. Mallone, and Miss Velma, and Mrs. R. L. Carroll of Hereford, Texas. All of the children were present at the funeral except Will and Mrs. Carroll. Mr. McCoy joined the Baptist Church at the age of 32 and has lived a consistent Christian life. Funeral services were held at the Baptist Church Sunday afternoon, the funeral sermon being delivered by Rev. W. L. Newsom, his friend and pastor. A large crowd was present at the funeral and burial. Mrs. McCoy died here some years ago.
