Thurmon,   Great hobby I must agree.   For whatever reason you are very good at what you do and we are very lucky to have your dedication and love for history on our team.  Kathy James     --- On Sat, 7/11/09, Thurmon King <[email protected]> wrote: From: Thurmon King <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [SACKETT] Guy W Sackett, Sr. and Jr. To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, July 11, 2009, 10:24 PM Kathy, As Sackett Historian for TSFA; I work on ALL the Sacketts and Sackett descendants I run across, or those who have been submitted to me. I got started on the Guy W. Sackett b. 1887 in Illinois, son of William Hiram Sackett when  Alvin Oglesby sent me the Hess Cemetery listing for him and his wife, Della Mae Hendricks. The more I searched for him and his wife, the more interested I became. And when I used up all the resources I can access ... I asked for help. The members of the SACKETT mailing list are GREAT at helping those who ask. As for "what drives" me; I enjoy digging for information about people who lived in the past and am constantly amazed at how much information is being uploaded to the internet. In other words, it is my hobby.

Great job everyone. I was going to jump in and help but it looks like you have got it all covered. May I ask Thurmon who is this Guy Sackett ? and is he in your direct line or do you just find a name and research it for the beauty of it ? What drives you Thurmon ?

The family will receive friends 1 hour prior to service. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to: The Jacksonville Humane Society, Arrangements by George H. Hewell and Son Northside Funeral Home. ++++++++ Two things in this obit are interesting. 1). I have been unable to find a listing in the 1900 census for Guy W. Sackett, Sr.; 2) The wife of Guy W., Sr is given as Edith Mildred Wilson and one of the husbands of Della May Hendircks is given as Joseph Wilson. However, the information for Guy Sackett in Indiana doesn't seem to leave room for him to have also been in Florida. Thurmon SACKETT is a Discussion list for Sackett/Sacket Family Genealogy.
