October 10, 1889 Pike County KyArchives News The Georgia Enterprise October 10, 1889 A dispatch from Jamboree, Pike County, Ky., says: The old Hatfield-McCoy feud has broken out again, and at least three more lives have been sacrificed in the bloody vendetta which has lasted over seven years. The shooting occurred at a marriage at the farmhouse of Peter McCoy. His daughter was to become the wife of JOHN HANDY, a relative of the Hatfield gang, and members of both factions had sworn to prevent the union. Handy had never been connected with the dispute with the factions and refused to recognize the leaders. Tuesday night the bridal party assembled in McCoy’s house, and just as young Handy and Miss McCoy stood before the minister, a volley was poured through a window which killed both of them and fatally wounding the clergyman.
