From Mr. S. Rush Crockett:
"Birdie Ellsworth of Mason City, Iowa (descended from John Bateman and Kiturah Halsey) had heard about John Trigg Halsey being murdered by his brother-in-law, Madison Shelton, and she wanted to know if I knew any details about the murder. I asked Elmer Williams what he knew about it. I believe John Trigg Halsey was Elmer's great grandfather. Elmer said that Shelton was living in a log cabin, now gone, that stood near the present Albert place in the Cove. It seemed that Trigg Halsey was trying to get Shelton to move and he wouldn't leave. So Trigg Halsey took a fence rail and was attempting to knock down the chimney that stood outside the cabin. Shelton came out and shot him. Evidently he thought by tearing down the chimney Shelton would have to move."
Madison Shelton removed to Knox Co, KY
