Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 35, Number 40, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 January 1903 — ALFRED McCOY. [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]

ALFRED McCOY.

For the above portrait we are indebted to the courtesy of the Indianapolis News The picture was published in that paper recently, together with quite an extended and very appreciative sketch, by W. H. Blodgett, the News’ staff correspondent. The sketch, while very interesting to outside people does not contain enough that is now of interest to those who know Ms. McCoy personally to justify republication here. Uncle Mac is now 72 years old. He has been in'quite poor health for some time past, from liver and stomach troubles, but is now steadily improving. The above.picture is a half-tone copy of a photograph taken 16 or 17 years ago. .
