FRANCES C. McKOY Frances Catherine Shell was born March 20, 1838; was married to Dr. John Gay in August 1854; and died Oct. 31, 1909. To this union a noble son was born the late Dr. W.F. Gay of Turin. The husband and son preceded her to the land above. She joined the Methodist church when a child only six years of age. She was again married to Mr. John T. McKoy in January 1875. To this union three daughters were born, Mrs. G.N. Strong, Mrs. F.O. Watkins and Mrs. W.S. Summers. Her home was the home of preachers. She was a leader in all woman's church work. At the time of her last marriage she became stepmother of several children to whom she was always kind and devoted. Mrs. McKoy lived in the Fourth district of Coweta county about thirty-four years. During this time she made many acquaintances and numbered her friends by the score. Too much cannot be said of this good woman's Christian virtues for they were many. We feel that we have lost a good, loving sister and neighbor. Her beautiful character was manifested in many deeds of kindness to her neighbors and friends. We can only bow in humble submission to the divine providence which removed her from our church. J.M. Haisten Mrs. W.F. Lands Mrs. M.L.
