MEADVILLE EARLY TRIBUNE REPUBLICAN, Wednesday 30 May 1888 Obituary of Mrs. Mercy Sacket "Died at the residence of her son, Zavan Sacket, in Wayne, Ohio,March 26th, 1888, Mrs.Mercy Sacket, at the advanced age of 94 years and 23 days. "Mr. Editor, I cannot refrain from asking of you the privilege of occupying a little space in the crowded columns of your paper, to write as briefly as I can, some things in memory of the long and useful life of this esteemed Christian friend. She was a dear good aunt and in the long ago she lived in this neighborhood and was married by Justin Dewey, Esq. to Isaac Sacket, her second husband, a brother of Rolin Sacket, Zavan Sacket, James Sacket, Joseph Sacket and my father, Jabez B. Sacket. As intimated, at the time of this last marriage she was a widow and had one daughter, whose name was Laura Butterfield, respected and beloved by all who knew her. From here the family moved into Ohio and resided for some time in Orwell, and then moved to Wayne township and there she has lived for the last 40 years. Her husband died March 29th 1869, aged 86. By this marriage she had two sons and one daughter. Zavan, the oldest, lives on the homestead, is married, with children around him. Isaac, the second son, was killed at the battle of Bull Run; and Coralin is the wife of J.W. Covert, a well-to-do farmer, residing in Orwell, Ohio. "At the age of 20 this cherished friend was hopefully brought into the fold and family of Christ, and every day since that happy change, she exemplified the religion of Jesus by her devoted faithfulness in his service. She had been a member of the Methodist Church for 74 years, and truly it may be said that in death her children have lost a precious mother, and her connections a true friend, and that a mother in Israel has fallen to sleep. E.B.R.S. Mead, May 25th, 1888."

I received copies of obituaries today taken from the MEADVILLE EVENING REPUBLICAN dated 27 Feb 1904 and from the CRAWFORD JOURNAL 3 March 1904 that contain a surname I heard my grandmother, Grace (Chase) Ogg, granddaughter of Martin L. Chase and Laura (Sackett) Chase speak often of when I was a child. The surname is Fleck. "Mrs Edson S. Sackett died at her home in Blooming Valley Feb 26, at the age of 80 years. She is survived by her husband, one son, W.E. Sackett, of Saegertown, and two daughters, Mrs. Lavina Fleck, of Tryonville, and Miss Agnes Sackett, residing at home. The funeral was held from the Blooming Valley M.E. church at 11 a.m. Tuesday and the remains were laid to rest in the cemetery there." Independent of this obit, while browsing Olmsted Co. MN censuses etc for names that sound familiar from childhood memories I discovered Fleck family(ies) moved to Olmsted County in the mid to latter part of the 19th century. So the Flecks' she spoke of weren't just farm people she knew, they were related - oh, the questions I would love to ask her.

Dianne: As I understand this, Edson S. Sackett and his wife Fedelia Goodrich had a daughter named Lavina who married a man named Fleck and they were living in Tryonville, Crawford Co., PA in 1904. Maybe they would be listed there in the 1900 and/or 1910.

Last week I recounted how I was with my Dad, Uncle Glen, and my brother Donal in Artesia, NM when my youngest sister was born in Oct, 1938 at Mount Pleasant, Titus Co., TX. Shortly after receiving the news, Dad decided to go back to be with Mother. We went back to Marietta, OK to leave Uncle Glenn there and then we headed for Mount Pleasant, TX to get Mother and see the new baby. On the trip back from New Mexico the clutch on the car had started slipping worse which made climbing the hills a slow process. Dad also had the problem of the tires on the car getting worn out. Two of the tires had gotten so bad [worn out] that Dad was forced to buy two new tires to replace them. But he decided to "make do" with the other two. For a little background to what follows: It would be hard for young people today to understand what automobile tires were like in the 1930s. The only cords I remember that were used in tires at that time were cotton cords. [ Rayon, and steel belted tires came later.] So if one could not afford to have all his tire repairs done at a tire shop or garage; he would carry a jack, tire pump, and a patch kit for repairing flats on the road. As the tire tread got thin, there was an increase of the chance that a small rock on the road could cause an break in the tire cords on the inside of the tire. So, along with patches for the tire tube [no tubless tires then] a supply of "boots" were carried along to place in the tire to cover internal breaks to reinforce the weak spot in the tire as well as keeping the break in the cords from pinching the tube causing it to lose the air. There were also "tire liners" which would go inside the tire to reinforce the whole tire. And if one could not afford to buy some of these "supplies" he would make them. Now for the trip from Marietta, OK to Mount Pleasant, TX and back. ... The distance from Marietta to Mt. Pleasant is about 165 miles. It took us the better part of two days to make the trip. Donal told me that on the trip from Marietta to Mt. Pleasant and back we had thirteen flats and blowouts !! This meant that we spent lots of time along side of the road repairing tires and tubes and pumping air into them. [Most of the air for the tires was supplied by me and Donal working a hand pump.] I remember Dad taking blownout tires that had good tread and trimming the beads off so that they could be slipped over a bald tire. He would peel the tread off bald tires that had good casings, to make inner liners. He would rivet boots inside of tires that had holes where they had blownout; but had "too good a tread to throw away." I don't remember much about the visit with Grandma and Grandpa Sackett. Probably because it was mostly an "adult world" there. Mother was the 11th of 12 children. So most of her siblings had married and moved away from Mt. Pleasant. Of the three sisters who still lived in Mt. Pleasant, two of them, Mae and Ione, were childless. Aunt Ophelia had one daughter who was the same age as my brother Donal. So most of my associations with my Sackett cousins came after we moved to Yuma, AZ where three of Mother's sisters and her younger brother lived. Two of those cousins were in the same high school class with me. While in Mt. Pleasant; I do remember that it was something of a shock to me when Grandma Sackett wanted me to kiss her and she had snuff in her mouth. Recently my sister Elysse expressed the same thought to me about when Grandma Sackett would say: "Come here and kiss Grandma." Ah, that generation and their snuff !! While we were in Mt. Pleasant there was a picture taken of our family. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~teking/sackett_docs/pictures/193 8-fam.jpg Well, on the way back to Marietta from Mount Pleasant Dad, Donal and Mother were in the front seat with the rest of us in the rear seat. Not far from Mt. Pleasant, near Talco, TX a radiator hose broke filling the car with steam making it impossible to see. Donal was sitting in the middle of the front seat with the gear shift and emergency brake levers between his legs. [Now, I have neglected to say that Dad had also been having a problem with the hydrolic brakes on the car leaking fluid so in order to save fluid he had been using the emergency brake to make normal stops and had allowed Donal to do some of the breaking.] So, when the car filled with steam; Donal grabbed the emergency brake and locked up the rear wheels. When the car came skidding to a stop, Dad not only had a radiator hose to repair; but there were two rear tires with flat spots in the tread !! When we got back to Marietta our family of five moved into a three room house [shack?] with Grandma and Grandpa King and my cousin Joyce, who is 10 months younger than me ... But thats another story. Thurmon

Nancy: The "FIRST STEP" in this article touches upon the task of one getting the information collected put into a coherent form. And how intimidating it can be for one researching the families who are ancestors, or related. But it doesn't say anything about the task of those of us who have gone "totally nuts" and are trying to trace ALL the descendants of one individual. Or ALL the individuals with ONE surname !!! I am presently closing in on having 20,000 names as SACKETT descendants and SACKETT spouses; along with some parents of spouses. Thinking this is quite an accomplishment ... I received a letter from Ed Phinney in which he said that he is closing in on 50,00 names of descendants of "Mother Finney" (ancestor of Mercy Finney m. 204-Reuben Sackett and of Joel Finney m. 644b-Anna Sackett). Ed says that publishers tell him that it would take 4 volumes of 900 pages each to cover all of his material !! And for the problem of making sure all of the pieces fit properly; that is where the mailing list is so great, and so helpful. One needs "other eyes" to help see inconsistencies that one will miss; just as with trying to proof read your own manuscript. As for the EYES FOR DATES I've found that the genealogy programs are very good at letting me know when there are suspicious dates like parent too young, birth before parents' marriage, birth less than 9 months from a siblings birth, & etc But I will say that, as a "history nut", the part that gets me "sidetracked" most often is the matter of local history and how it relates to those who migrated to, of from, a place. Why did they leave where they were? Why, and how, did they chose the place they migrated to? Researching this aspect of the movements of just my Sackett ancestors can be a daunting task. But trying to do this for the movements of the Sackett family as a whole becomes something like a "Mission Impossible". But ... Like I said; I'm a "history nut." So, let this serve as a request for information from those who have done research into the motivations for the migrations of their Sackett ancestors and how it relates to the history of their place and time.

Hi, Folks! I thought this article covered so much of what so many of us do that I thought it would be nice to share it with you all. Some of you are not quite into the research as much as the rest of us, but it might help you understand us die hards a little better after reading this article. It also illustrates that a family historian or genealogist's work is NEVER done! :} Ancestry Weekly Digest, 7 June 2003 ==================================================================== "LOOKING AT OUR FAMILY HISTORY WITH NEW EYES," by Juliana Smith ===================================================================== When we become family historians, something seems to come over us--an urge to collect and gather as much information as we can find on our ancestors. While family members shake their heads in wonder, we save every scrap of information we can find. We keep old birthday cards, greeting cards, and letters for any clues they may contain. Photographs of unknown individuals from the past are preserved, because you never know--they might be related. Even envelopes are saved because they have addresses and date stamps to place our families in a particular place and time. We search databases until the wee hours and request records from faraway repositories. We collect books and photocopies of every scrap that we can find that may lead us on, amassing huge piles--oops, I mean FILES of paper. But all of this collecting is for naught if we don't take the time to put together what we've found and take a close look at it. I hesitate to use the word "analyze" because that makes it sound tedious and boring, but that's what we have to do--but for the family historian it's not at all tedious or boring. This is the fun part--taking the pieces we've collected and turning them into family history. I'm always on the lookout for quotes to include in the newsletter and when I saw today's quote on a poster at my daughter's school, it struck me as particularly applicable to this subject. "The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." --- Marcel Proust It's not that we physically need new eyeballs (although after long, late-night sessions looking at census enumerations written in the world's worst handwriting, trading mine in for a newer and clearer set has crossed my mind). Rather, by gathering our findings and giving our research a fresh look and a new perspective--a new set of eyes so to speak--we can better analyze our findings, ensure that we're on the right track, and clear the way for the next steps in our search. FIRST STEP--GET IT TOGETHER Looking at the mass of data we've accumulated can be an intimidating prospect, so it's best to focus. Working with one individual or family at a time will make the project more manageable. Gathering the pertinent records, it is helpful to put the information into some kind of form. Inputting it into our genealogy software or just taking the information from the records and writing it on forms like a pedigree chart or family group sheet can be helpful. >From there, we want to look at all the pieces of information and make sure they fit. After all, we don't need any strangers in our family tree. What we really need to do is play "devil's advocate" to our own findings; questioning what we have found to ensure that we have the correct pieces to our puzzle, and not someone else's puzzle. Here are some ways those different "eyes" can come in handy. EYES FOR DATES Are the dates we have found corresponding? For example, was the mother old enough to be bearing children or was she giving birth at age 9? Arranging events in a chronological format and including ages can help pinpoint this type of error. Did they move from place to place, and if so, would they have needed passage on the Concord to travel the distance they did in a particular time frame? Rates of travel can be found in history books and old newspapers and can be helpful for putting travel into perspective. Dates and places of birth should be looked at carefully. If one child was born in Ireland in May 1816, and another was born in the U.S. in June 1816, chances are there is a mix-up somewhere. Possibly the dates and places we have are wrong or maybe we have combined two families. EYES FOR GEOGRAPHY While we've all probably pinpointed an ancestral home on a map before, have we really taken a look at the topographical features of the location? What modes of transportation were available in that area at that time? Were there natural hazards such as lakes, mountains, or deserts that would have had to have been crossed or avoided in order to travel or migrate? Where was the closest bridge or ferry that would have taken an ancestor to worship, to his or her work, or to visit family? If a parent or sibling was ill, would the trip have required an overnight (or longer) stay? The answers to these types of questions can lead us to new records, to discover migration routes, and possibly even to locate those "disappearing" ancestors. It's also a good idea to get familiar with neighbors and the neighborhood. Did they live in a predominantly ethnic neighborhood or was there an ethnic neighborhood nearby where they may have gone to shop, work, or worship? Who were their neighbors? They may have been relatives or neighbors from the "old country." Were there any changes in civil jurisdictions? Border changes throughout the history of an area may dictate where the records for a particular time period can be found. EYES FOR HISTORY Historical events left an imprint on the lives of our ancestors, just as the events of today affect us. Wars, disasters, and economic factors all had an effect and may have caused our ancestors to make decisions that altered the course of their lives. Knowledge of the events that took place during our ancestors' lives add interest to our family histories, as well as giving us greater insight into the choices they made and leading us to more records. Was an ancestor of an age to serve during a military conflict? Were there battles fought nearby? Did an economic downturn or crop failure cause your ancestor to change professions or relocate? What disasters--natural or man- made--might have impacted your family? Did society dictate when or to whom someone should marry, or where someone could work or live? Did the women typically leave home only to marry, or were they allowed to work and be independent? While there are always exceptions to the rule, a look at local histories, newspapers, and social histories may provide some interesting answers when you are asking yourself, "Why did they do that?" WHAT ELSE? There are doubtless other "eyes" you'll want to don as you assess your findings, including relationships, ethnic customs, legalities, medical considerations, housing, etc. Where the questions we ask of ourselves turn up more questions, more research should be done until we are satisfied that we have answered them and reasonably explained any discrepancies. If we are to discover who these people were and what their lives were like, all of these factors should be considered. Not only will it enhance our family history with added interest, but it will also help ensure that we are indeed researching our family history and not someone else's. ____________________________________________________________________ Juliana Smith is the editor of the "Ancestry Daily News" and author of "The Ancestry Family Historian's Address Book."

Hi Thurmon, Near the end of your information you mention Edward Curtis Sackett b.10 Jul 1831 residing in Berdan, Green Co. IL. A couple of days ago I happened to visit the Carrollton (about 3 miles south of Bardan) Cemetery and ran across these grave stones. This is not my Sackett line but hopefully will be of use to someone: 1. Large stone with SACKETT acorss the top and below a star with GAR in the center then: Edward C. Sackett 1831 - 1917 Mary E. Bradley, his wife 1843 - 1916 Also beside the large stone a small military stone inscribed: Lieut. Edwd C. Sackett C.O. P 41 ILL. INF. 2. Large headstone with SACKETT with two smaller stones marking the graves: William M., APR 21, 1869 - July 25, 1919 Julia, His Wife, June 7, 1868 - Oct. 16, 1945 3. Smaller stone with Sackett across the top and below: James C. 1879 - 1942 Ora B. 1883 - 1930 4. Small stone: DAU.

Thurmon, I have enjoyed your "tales". I have many times longed for more details about my own Sackett ancestors - what they were like and what they did. I wish they had kept more "tales" alive! My Grandpa Sackett was a wonderful man and had lots of stories to tell. We often comment that we wish they had been written down...... Peggy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thurmon E.

I really enjoy your stories Thurmon, they always brighten up my day. Linda Carlisle Lewis seeker54@charter.net

Can we please change the subject line - from "is this a SACKETT list anymore" to what ever a person is talking about? I think we loose interest and don't pay that much attention when the subject line is the same thing over and over - AND am sure we loose a lot of good information.

I did not get it from a web site but by going to the church, when some of my husband's family came over from Canada. But please free to e-mail as I'm writing a book about Granny Sackett my husbands Granny Formally Elsie Pocock of Kent who was sent to Canada as a child. She was placed with a children's charity on the death of her mother as the father was unable to cope. He could not read or write. He had placed an X on a document and when he returned to see his three girls they had been shipped to Canada. But that is another story.

Hi, this information came from one of the vicars of that church. I will try to find the information document for you. All my husband's family are mostly from Canada. But I do believe that they came in the beginning from California or some place mid west. I seem to have hit all the Sacketts in the world. Even as far away as India. I know when I visited Kentucky to write about the breeder's cup and the derby. I found that my name caused a lot excitement because the local collage has a main hall named after one Sackett more famous than I. But please tell me about your search.
