Doc Rutherford had a rich history in Matewan W.V, once a close friend to William Anderson (Devil) Anse Hatfield, He even named one of his sons Elliott Rutherford Hatfield. Eventually though his son Cap Hatfield gunned down Docs son John and grandson Named after him as well.
He is listed dying the same year his grandson also named Elliott Rutherford died, I wonder if its a mix up, as I see that a lot.

There is confusion on if his middle name is Eberle or Elliott.
John and his nephew Elliott, who are buried in the same grave, were gunned down by Devil Anse Hatfield's son Cap and his step son Joe Glenn on election day in 1896.
His name and dates are Wrote on the back of Elliot Rutherford's headstone. Though this is not his father Elliott. They are in the same grave.
We did a video on this on Youtube, Hillbilly files legends and locations channel.
