Aunt Sally McC0y's Death.

For half century nearly every
body in Tyler county has known
Z" Aunt Sally Mccoy" one Of the
sisters from whom the town of Sis
tersville took its name. She died
recently at the age of "a years and
is mourned by all the people of the
community, old and young.
In noticing her death the Tyler
Democrat said: "She was bonn in
Brooke county, W. Va, in 1898 ;
she came to this place with her
fathers family of twenty-five chill
bred in 1906. She was the mother
of eight children, six of whom are
dead. She has been a widow since
1885. AS a child she gathered
wild flowers where the streets Of
the town now are. She saw the
keel boats float down the river,
then a narrow and deep stream.
She has seen the fiat boat super
seeded by the steamer. Again, she
saw the steamer partially fal. into
disuse by the railroad. She has
seen the log cabin with its punch
con floors replaced by elegant
houses with carpeted floors and fine
furniture. She has lived under
every President of the United
States from George Washington to
Grover Cleveland. Sistersville, she
saw planted in the wilderness when
she was child, and hunted
ground berries among the corn,
where now stand su bstantial houses
and handsome stores"
