Hatfield and McCoy Feud
October 27, 2022 · FB Group
According to the May 22, 1944 edition of LIFE Magazine, Bud and Rhoda McCoy posed for the photograph at left on the day they married, on Sept. 17, 1907. When a LIFE Magazine photographer, Walter Sanders, visited the couple in 1944 they recreated the same pose for the image at right.
Bud was the grandson of Asa Harmon McCoy. Asa had been killed in 1865 by Devil Anse Hatfield (or Uncle Jim Vance, based upon the various accounts told), and a son of Lark McCoy, who played a bold and leading part in the Hatfield and McCoy Feud. In that issue, LIFE said Bud was "too young to kill Hatfields during the family war, and has no ill will toward them now."
The article further explained that Bud worked at a nearby coalmine at the time, and liked to pluck his banjo and sing traditional hymns with his beloved wife after supper.
