Mr. Jens Peter Hoy, 66, well known tailor, head of the firm of J.P. Hoy, west of the post office, passed away Sunday afternoon at the family home, 109 S. Holbrook. He was a native of Copenhagen, Denmark. When he was a youth he entered the Danish Army. When he was only 14 he learned the tailor's trade. By a custom of lucky numbers, he being the winner, he was released from the army which gave him an opportunity to embark to America when he was 21. When the United States prepared a World War record of services of World War veterans the names of Mr. and Mrs. Hoy appeared as giving many sons to their country.

Bourbon County Attorney Charles Warren said that such a request for funds could be approved in a special legislative session.
