Cincinnati (OH) Commercial Tribune, December 29, 1890, p. 1. VETERAN PASTOR RESIGNS Salem, Indiana, December 28-Rev. William McCoy preached his farewell sermon at the Mill Creek Baptist Church, four miles west of Salem, this morning after a continuous pastorate over this charge of 47 years. His resignation was offered 30 days ago and was accepted yesterday. There was a large crowd in attendance, people coming in sleighs, wagons and buggies from all over the county. The services were interesting and appropriate. An interesting sketch of the work of the church was prepared and read by the retiring pastor.
