Hatfield - M'Coy Feud Ends As Boy Joins Army
"I'm a fightin' man from a fightin' clan, but from now out I'll do my
battlin' in the U. S. Army," said Tennis S. Hatfield, Jr., when he
enlisted last week at Charleston, WV. This 19-year-old grandson of the
late "Devil Anse" Hatfield, leader of West Virginia's famous feuding clan
of "way back there in the days of long barr'led rifles and careless
killings" is now a soldier enroute to service in Panama. Young Hatfield
stated that he is not interested in the old feud between members of his
family and the McCoys. "I just want to do my part now that this country
needs men to build its national defense. The army is great and I
recommend it to any boy who is looking for a good job at good pay," he
said. Pictured above are Private Hatfield and his father, T S. Hatfield,
Sr., former sheriff of Logan Co., WV.
