McCoy Is Found Dead At Home In Ward Four
Body Badly Decomposed; Evidently Had Been Dead Several Days
 
The body of A. D. McCoy of Ward Four of Franklin parish was found Saturday morning under 
a window of his home. The body had lain in the condition in which it was found for several 
days apparently, as the remains were badly decomposed.
Some time ago, the deceased had remarked to a negro living on his plantation that if he 
should disappear for an unusual length of time to search for him. The last time Mr. McCoy 
was seen was Wednesday, September 11, when the negro above mentioned conversed with him.
Mr. McCoy was 48 years of age and had been a resident of Franklin parish for several years, 
living in Ward Four.
