COY.--Miss Mercy G. Coy died in Sodus, New York, December 28, 1891, aged 86 years and 6 months. She was a native of Great Barrington, Massachusetts, but removed when a little girl with the family to Hillsdale-on-the-Hudson. She was the last survivor of eleven children; all but one reached advanced age. She was converted at age 12, and the following year united with the Methodist Episcopal church. Nearly sixty of her seventy-three years of church connections were in Sodus. Her Christian life was uniform, active, exemplary. She was cheerful, earnest. In business--for she kept a millinery store for many years--she was accurate and judicious. She was a great reader, and had a retentive memory. She took the Northern Christian Advocate from its first publication, and before that read The Christian Advocate. She loved to talk over the doings of the General Conference and the affairs of the church generally. She was always at church on Sundays and at the mid-week prayer-meeting. Her last sickness was short. An hour and a half before her death her pastor sang, "On my journey home," which she enjoyed.
