Mr. McCoy is superintendent of the public schools of Elgin. He is a stranger to this community, but has the bearing of a man of responsibility, with the apparent qualities that should make him worthy of the excellent young woman who is now his bride. Mrs. McCoy is a graduate of the Monticello public schools and also attended the State Teachers' college at Cedar Falls. She has taught in the Newhall public schools during the past year. She has a host of friends in Monticello who have been won by her modest demeanor and charming manners. They will all wish Mr. and Mrs. McCoy nothing but happiness during what is hoped may be a long and prosperous life. They will make their home at Elgin following a short wedding trip.
