Virginian Pilot July 9,1905
BRIDE 4 MONTHS; DIES OF TYPHOID

Mrs. F.A. McCoy Succumbs To Fever At St. Vincent's Hospital, Norfolk

Mrs. F.A. McCoy, who had been ill some time with typhoid fever, died at 11 
o'clock last night at St Vincent's Hospital, Norfolk. 
Mrs. McCoy had only been the wife of Frank A. McCoy, a well known young man of 
this place, four months.  Before her marriage she was a Miss Doyle and resided 
with an aunt at Newport News, and it was there that her husband first met her.
She was a very young woman, not more than 19 years old, and had many friends.  
She resided with her husband, who is a machinist in the navy yard, at 309 
Berkley avenue.
No arrangements for the funeral had been made last night.

************************************************
The funeral of Mrs. Frank A. McCoy took place yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock 
from her late residence, No. 309 Berkley avenue.  The solemn service of the 
Protestant Episcopal Church was conducted by the Rev. E. W. Cowling, assisted by 
the Rev. Messrs. W.H. Edwards, pastor of Memorial M.E. Church and E.T. Welford, 
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, of Newport News.
Messrs. John B. Morgan, W.W. Colonna, Henry McDonough, P.M. Pritchard, Russel A. 
McCoy, Arthur G. McCoy, Henry F. McCoy and J. Clarence McCoy were the 
pallbearers.
The attendance was very large, notwithstanding the afternoon was very 
disagreeable.  A large delegation of Mr. McCoy's friends and fellow workers from 
the navy yard attended in a body.
The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful, the bier being literally 
covered with the choicest and most costly flowers made into the most exquisite 
designs.  A harp made of roses and evergreens with a white dove holding aloft 
its snowy pinions perched upon it was the gift of Mr McCoy's friends in the navy 
yard.
Not in many years has a death cast such a gloom over the entire community as 
that of Mrs. McCoy.  Young, healthy, beautiful, accomplished, loving and loved, 
it is beyond the ken of man to know why she was thus snatched as it were from 
the arms of her devoted husband and from the circle of relatives and friends, 
upon whom she lavished the highest type of affection.
