William H. MCCOY (1842 - 1920)
William H. MCCOY was born in Jefferson County, Tennessee, October 9, 1842. He was the youngest child of a family of six boys and four girls, and is the last survivor of the family.
His parents were William and Susanna MCCOY, who belonged to that class of southern pioneer opposed to the institution of slavery but always loyal to their country and its flag. The father having died when William was only three months old, all the care of this large family devolved upon the mother. Somehow she succeeded in entering the quarter section in Union township which became their home. She with these children made the overland trip to Indiana, locating first at New London.
Here they resided till Manley, the oldest son, cleared a patch of land and erected a cabin into which they moved, when William was about ten years old. Here he resided during his lifetime.
In 1863 he courted and married a neighbor's daughter, Lovinia ROSIER. To this union were born eight children, one, Lovinia J., died while young: the other seven are living: Joseph T. of Anderson, Mrs. Viola M. LEE, William S. and Richard O. of Greentown: Wilbur S. of Kokomo; Mrs. Etta M. LEE of Phlox and Charles, resident on the home farm. There are two step-sons, George HETRICK and Naul BALL, also twenty-nine grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Nearly all of these are present paying the last respects to their father.
Inured to the hardships of pioneer life and denied the opportunities of older settles communities, he early took an active part in education and religious work. Quite early in life he became a charter member of Center Grove and retained his membership at death.
In 1890 he was bereaved of his companion, who succumbed to a relapse of typhoid fever. In the fall of 1891 he was married to Amanda HETRICK who survives him.
During the Rebellion he responded to his country's call for volunteers and served in Company K, 137th Indiana regiment of infantry, receiving at the close of the war an honorable discharge for service.
He was a man of strong convictions of right and wrong, upright in his dealings with his fellow man, a devoted husband, a kind, sympathetic father, a wise counselor and a ready helper in community service. About a year before his death he began failing, no particular disease, just old age infirmities. His greatest affliction was the loss of his eyesight. He was very patient during the confinement, never complaining, always cheerful, conscious to the end. He expressed himself as ready and anxious to depart, only dreading the final suffering.
He counseled his children to prepare for eternity, while there was yet an opportunity, and meet him in the eternal home of the redeemed.
He expressed his gratefulness to the neighbors and friends for their attentions and kindness during his afflictions. Peacefully, at the old homestead, in the quiet morning hours of May 3,1920, he passed away. "Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him, and lies Down to pleasant dreams."
Aged 77 years, 6 months, 23 days.
