William McCoy, Builder of McCoy's Hostelry, Now Victoria, Is Stricken at Age of 68.
William McCoy, dean of the hotel fraternity of Chicago, died yesterday at his residence, 5640 South Park avenue, at the age of 68. He leaves a widow and four children, Mrs. Kane, Ella F., Frank, and William E. McCoy.
