Excerpt from Sheriffs of Oneida County
Generous almost tokind and benevolent spirit. Among them was the killing of Nathan Allen while hunting, near Augusta. The murderer wasa drunken, revengeful Indian. An other was the great Indian riot at Oriskany in which several Indians were killed. But the saddest of all was the Halleck tragedy at Westmoreland. Betsey Halleck, who was once a kind and indulgent mother, in afit of insanity slew her four daughters and then took her own life. Before per forming this awful deed she prepared shrouds for each and neatly laid them away for her victims. The real cause of her trouble remains a mystery, but those who knew her best thought it a religious delusion. She sought to remove herself and children from the sorrow and troubles of a cold and selfish world. The great trouble in Kipp's first term was caused by illegal sale of liquor. The law was now such that Sheriffs were appointed for one year or during the pleasure of the Governor.
