JOHN McCOY
John McCoy was born in Pendleton County, in 1850, and was reared at Franklin, where his father had large business interests, and was one of the leading factors of the place. He was very carefully educated, and took a classical course at the famous Washington and Lee University at Lexington, Virginia, at the time that Gen. Robert E. Lee was its president. After completing his course in that institution John McCoy returned to his home and took charge of his father's farm and stock interests, and it was the need for assuming these responsibilities which kept him from continuing his studies and preparing for a professional life. He continued in the same lines of business throughout his life, and died June 19, 1919, universally respected.
A loyal democrat he gave his party a faithful service, and was its successful candidate as representative to the House of Delegates in 1890, and he was twice re-elected to that office on the same party ticket. While he was adverse to practical politics, his service in the House interested him and he regarded it as time well spent. For many years he served the Presbyterian Church as an elder, and was a member of it from early youth.
