The McCoy sisters were beloved fixtures of the Highland community for nearly 90 years and the last Jones descendants to live in the iconic West Main Street home. Granddaughters of C.P. Jones and his wife Martha Jane “Mattie” Wilson Jones, Elizabeth (age 7) and Mary Hille (age 9) McCoy moved into the C.P. Jones House in 1929 with their mother Mabel Jones McCoy after their father Dr. George McCoy died unexpectedly. After graduating from Highland High School, they attended Longwood Teacher’s College in Farmville and pursued careers as educators. Neither sister ever married. After a brief time away, Elizabeth returned to Highland to live with her mother in the ancestral home. Mary Hille retired in 1981 and returned to Highland and joined Elizabeth. Elizabeth passed away in 2012 at age 89, Mary Hille in 2018 at age 98.
