Tipsword - Doty fued, Beecher City/Mocassin IL
Hello everyone!
I have heard a few times about a Tipsword-Doty fued that occured in either Beecher City or Moccasin, IL.The respective families lived across an alley from each other, and someone named "Ace" instigated the fued.Could this possibly have been Acel D. McDonald, son of Harley Acel McDonald and Mary Ann Tipsword?All I have heard is one simple explanation from an older cousin, as this happened during his fathers' lifetime.Apparently "Ace" instigated some things, and the men went at each other with 2x4's originally intended to support clothslines.One man had his eye socket badly damaged, and couldn't see out of that eye.
ANY INFO would be greatly appreciated!
