Obituary from 'Indianapolis Locomotive'
"John McCoy was looking through the Masonic Hall, the floor of which is not laid in some
parts of the building and in the third story he stepped on a joist that gave way by splitting with the grain obliquely across and he was precipitated through an open hatchway in the second floor, to the lower room breaking his back, neck and one arm and killing him almost instantly. This occurred on the afternoon of
21 April 1850. He left a sick wife and two young children."
