OBITUARY

Maggie Teresa Mccoy, daughter
of Enos and Mary Rapp was born
in Missouri, August 26, in the year
of 1868 and departed from this
life Sunday, June S, 1855, at the
age of ninety-one years, nine
months and ten days.
She was united in marriage to
Elmer Mccoy on March 30, 1886,
and to this union were born six
children; two sons and four daugh-
ters; Wilbert, Grant, Floe, Mary,
Ethel and Helen. Helen died at
the age of fourteen months. Grant,
who had reached young manhood,
died January 10, 1913.
Mrs. Mccoy spent most of her
life in and around West Jefferson.
She was from a family of ten
children. All of her family have
passed on except her sister, Mrs.
Mary Carter, of West Jefferson.
She had been in declining health
for the past two years, and though
it is hard to give up her earthly
presence, the thought that she is
in His loving care and with her
loved ones, comes as a soothing
balm. She was a kind and devoted
mother and leaves to mourn her
loss, one son, Wilbert Mccoy;
three daughters, Mrs. Floe Zane,
Mrs. Mary Seaman, and Mrs.
Ethel Herrick; two grandchildren,
Mrs. Leonard Martin and Gene
Herrick; two great grandchildren,
Bill and Bob Martin, besides a
large circle of other relatives and
a host of friends.

Heart failure, known medically
as congestive heart failure, now
affects over two and half million
people in the United States and is
steadily increasing, DR.. Brown
points out, because Of the advanc-
ing age level Of the population. Il
results when any form of heart
disease damages that organ SO
that 1t can no longer pump an ade-
quate supply Of blood through the
system. This failure results in the
accumulation Of fluids in the BODY
cells and eventually in the lungs
and this eventually causes tbe
heart to give out unless the strain
is iessened. In 1920 it was OBJ
served by chance that certain or
gano-mercurial drugs, then beinp
experimental on in the treatment
OF other diseases. caused the BODY
cells to lose their excess fluid and
this gave relief to congestive heart
patients. This observation revived
interest in the long-forgotten
properties Of mercurial compounds
and laboratory researchers began

pounds that could be used in The
treatment Of heart failure.

filed with the agency an an
peal in which he declares he
declares his notice of dismis-
sal is invalid because of his
Civil Service status and his
employment as a veteran.
The HHFA gave "budgetary
considerations" as the excuse
for elimination of DR.. Horne's
position and that OF his as

Horne said if his appeal to
the Housing Agency is turned
down he will carry it to the

Mrs. Morrow's only comment
was that her 20 years in gov

She also expects to appeal
