     M. A. McCOY, a member of the firm of McCoy & Horton, proprietors of
the Scenic Theatre at Derry, N. H., was born in Westboro, Mass. He was
reared and educated in his native town, and began industrial life as an em-
ploye in a shoe factory, being thus occupied for four or five years. He then
followed the trade of painter and paper-hanger for awhile, after which he
went to work for F. J. Howard in repairing and setting up moving picture
machines. About six years ago, with his present partner, he bought out the
business and, removing to their present location, constructed what is now
known as the Scenic Theatre. It has a seating capacity of 520 people, and is
kept in steady operation, all the leading and favorite pictures being shown as
they come out. The theatre is a popular place 0£ amusement and instruction
and the enterprise is flourishing and in a prosperous condition. Mr. McCoy
belongs to the Knights of Columbus. He was married in 1909 to Miss Annie
Nedeau, of Lewiston, Me., and he and his wife are the parents of two sons,
John and Francis. The family belong to the Catholic church.
