Obituary "Cap" McCoy Contributed by Carol Couch   Waco Times Herald, Tuesday, Jan. 22, 1903 Cap McCoy, the well known Sixth Street saloon man, is dead after a brief illness of pneumonia. He was taken sick rather suddenly and the malady progressed rapidly, soon depleting his vitality and impairing his lungs hopelessly. The remains were shipped yesterday to Ennis, Ellis County, his old home, where interment will take place today. Cap was known to many people in the city and was a kind and generous man true to his friends and generally liked. His death came as a surprise to many who did not know he was ill. [Note: In the inventory of Myrtle Cemetery, Ennis, a "Cap" McCoy is shown with death date of 1930. Another listing is that of "C. J. S.
