Death of a Former Resident.

  James L. McCoy, who was at one time a resident of this city, died at 
his home in Punxsutawney, Jefferson county, on Friday last, aged 60 
years.  The immediate cause of his death was hemorrhage of the lungs.  
Mr. McCoy was a native of Indiana county.  He resided here from 1873 to 
1877, during which time he was general agent for the Singer sewing 
machine company.  From 1877 to 1883 he lived on his farm near Fostoria, 
this county, in the latter year removing to Punxsutawney where he made 
his home until his death.  He was a good man and a consistent member of 
the Methodist Episcopal church.  His wife and three children survive to 
mourn his departure.  The children are Mrs. W. A. Ambrose, of this 
city, Mrs. John A. Crawford, of Tyrone, and Charles, who is in business 
at Bradford, McKean county.  The body of Mr. McCoy was consigned to the 
grave yesterday.  Many of our readers will hear of his death with 
regret.
