Husband of Elizabeth (Moore) McCoy, 1826-1912.
This stone was erected in 1993 by my father, Samuel William McCoy, who was this Samuel's great-grandson (as well as sharing his names).
Family anecdote:
My father believed that one of the Samuels (either this one or his son of the same name) was a member of the North-West Mounted Police (the precursor to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police) for several years. My father also thought the Samuel in question might have been active during the North-West Rebellion of 1885, but was not certain. As this Samuel would have been 57 or 58 at the time, it seems unlikely - but not impossible.
I did manage to find an item in the National Archives concerning a record for a Private Samuel McCoy (Private, "G" Company 7th Battalion Fusiliers), in connection with "North-West Rebellion military bounty land warrants and money scrip" (12-12-1885), but as this descriptive record is in process, there is currently nothing to see. There is also another archive item called "FERGUSON & GEMMILL, OTTAWA POWER OF ATTORNEY FROM SAMUEL MCCOY TO WILLIAM ALEXANDER GUNN OF LONDON" (1885-1886), but again there is nothing to see at present.
