Ethel Bergstresser (Stewart) McCoy (1893 – 1980), of New York City, was a philatelist who created a number of stamp collections, and was active within the philatelic community. She was the daughter of Charles Bergstresser (1858-1923), one of the founders of Dow Jones & Co. ==Collecting interests== Ethel McCoy is most noted for her collection of United States airmail stamps, which included a block of four, acquired in 1936, of the famous “Inverted Jenny” listed as C3a in the Scott catalog. During the 1955 American Philatelic Society Convention, held in Norfolk, Virginia, the very valuable block was stolen. In 1979, the year before she died, she bequeathed the block, if it could be found, to the American Philatelic Research Library. In an investigation led by philatelic “detective” James H. Beal, the two stamps on the left side of the block of four (positions 65 and 75) were eventually recovered.
