Exhortation #63

"Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the LORD." (Lev. 19:18)

It was on the front pages of newspapers in 1880's, when the Hatfield clan of Virginia feuded with the McCoy clan from across the border in Kentucky. Historians disagree on the cause of the feud which captured the imagination of the nation during a 10-year run. Some say the feud originated from the Civil War tensions: the McCoys sympathized with the Union, the Hatfields with the Confederacy. Others say it began when the McCoys blamed the Hatfields for stealing hogs. As many as 100 men, women and children died. In May 1976, Jim McCoy and Willis Hatfield, the last two survivors of the original families, shook hands at a public ceremony dedicating a monument to six of the victims. Jim McCoy died Feb. 11, 1984, at age 99. He bore no grudges, and had his burial handled by the Hatfield Funeral Home in Toler, KY. James 5:9 says, "Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door."
