Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 80, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 June 1901 — McCoysburg is Flourishing. [ARTICLE]

McCoysburg is Flourishing.

W. R. Lee, who recently purchased a hardware stock at Harvey 111., has leased ground of Alfred McCoy at McCoysburg and is now hauling lumber for the erection of a business room there, in which he will conduct the store. McCoysburg now has two good general stores, a blacksmith shop, a hotel, a feed grinding [establishment and its citizens are anxious to secure a drug store and a doctor. It is an important stock shipping point of the Monon, and the present southern terminus of the Gifford railroad. With these advantages there is a chance for McCoysburg to some day become a right good little town.
