The feud grew in part from Civil War conflicts, romantic entanglements, family-oriented discord, property and election disputes, and mountain pride. Violence surrounding clan leaders Anderson Hatfield and Randolph McCoy eventually involved the governors of Kentucky and West Virginia, and deaths and time brought the feud to an end. Among some 500 graves in Dils Cemetery are the resting places of Randolph McCoy; his wife, Sarah; their daughter and son, Roseanna and Sam; and Sam's wife, Martha. This Appalachian vendetta, spanning from the Civil War to the 1890s, became well known, and Dils Cemetery is part of the Hatfield-McCoy Feud Historic District.
