Miss Anna Sackett died this morning at her home on the corner of Oakland and Arcadian Avenues. She was 55 years old and this was her birthday. For some time past she has been a sufferer with consumption and for the past few weeks her death has been expected at any time. She was born at Granville, Wis., and came here with her parents in 1867 and has lived here ever since. She has considerable property and was charitably inclined. She educated and started in business Vincent Ertelmeyer, who died last February. She leaves a sister, Mrs. Sarah J. Teed of Kansas City, who is the only surviving member of the family. Mrs. Teed has been here for some time caring for her sister. FOR EDUCATION OF YOUTH. Miss Sackett disposed of her property by will made August, 1897. Under its provisions most of her estate goes to her sister, Mrs. Teed, though there are several legacies to other relatives and a bequest of two thousand dollars to trustees who are to keep that amount invested so the income shall be used for higher education of some young person who may be recommended by trustees of the Baptist church here for the four years now beginning, of the Methodist church for the next four years, and of the Presbyterian church for the next four: afterwards proceeding in the same order, indefinitely. The funeral will be held at the house at 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning, Rev. P.S. Everett officiating. Interment will take place at Wauwatosa where the other members of the family are buried. Another article same paper and date: FOOTBALL COST $5000 ONE GAME EXPENSIVE FOR CARROLL COLLEGE. The Late Miss Sackett So Shocked By a Game That She Canceled Intended Legacy. A game of foot-ball played by Carroll College students in the summer of 1886 cost that institution $5,000. Miss Anna M. Sackett of this city, who died last week, had a benevolent heart and was a strong believer in the best possible education for the young. She had lived here many years, had watched the work of Carroll College and believed that it was good. She decided to assist that work to the best of her ability and she made her will, giving a legacy of $5,000 to the Trustees of Carroll for the benefit of that institution. Under these circumstances she was naturally interested in whatever concerned the interests of the College, and during one summer she heard and read so much about foot-ball in the school that she decided to see a game for herself and ascertain what it was like. HORRIFIED AT THE GAME. So in the early autumn after the games were started she drove out one day to see a game between the College and a visiting eleven. She was astonished and horrified at what she saw. Her ideas of sport had never included the rough-and-tumble fury of foot ball. She was a fragile woman and the rough contest between the long-haired kickers and punters seemed to her merely an arrangement for maiming and killing those who engaged in it. She had no sympathy at all for the authorities of the college who encouraged such proceedings under the name of sport. She went home and sent for her lawyer. Under her direction he drew up another will which contained no legacy for the College, and she signed it, the former will being destroyed. So vanished Carroll's prospects in that direction. PROF.RANKIN'S FAVORITE GAME It is a conspicuous illustration of the irony of fate that the game of foot ball which has been so stoutly promoted and upheld by Prof. W.L. Rankin, president of the college, should cost the college a large sum of money just at the time of her greatest need. Every cent that can be collected for the college now is wanted as it was never wanted before. Fifty thousand dollars must be raised soon if the splendid gift of an equal sum by Mr. and Mrs. Vorhees is to be realized. Sums of five thousand dollars to be devoted to this fund come occasionally but not often. This unexpected legacy would have been a most welcome addition to the fund. Prof. Rankin is a strong believer in foot ball, works hard to keep a good team in the field, and enjoys a game like the youngest enthusiast. He has several times written letters to the papers setting forth the fine points of the game and asking for it a cordial public support. Miss Sackett knew nothing and cared nothing about the theory of the game. She saw only its roughness and she found that conclusive. Her position was that an institution that fostered foot ball did more harm in that way than it could do good in an educational way. And so she cancelled her bequest to Carroll College.

Rankin, president of the college, should cost the college a large sum of money just at the time of her greatest need. Every cent that can be collected for the college now is wanted as it was never wanted before. > > Fifty thousand dollars must be raised soon if the splendid gift of an equal sum by Mr. and Mrs. Vorhees is to be realized. Sums of five thousand dollars to be devoted to this fund come occasionally but not often. This unexpected legacy would have been a most welcome addition to the fund. > > Prof. Rankin is a strong believer in foot ball, works hard to keep a good team in the field, and enjoys a game like the youngest enthusiast. He has several times written letters to the papers setting forth the fine points of the game and asking for it a cordial public support. > > Miss Sackett knew nothing and cared nothing about the theory of the game. She saw only its roughness and she found that conclusive. Her position was that an institution that fostered foot ball did more harm in that way than it could do good in an educational way. And so she cancelled her bequest to Carroll College. > > Warmest, > > Kari Roehl > > > > > > > > ==== SACKETT Mailing List ==== > RootsWeb blocks attachments.

I just found this message .. it comes from a list I am on... I went back to the Archives .. put in SACKETT and .. there is a Connection to J. HOWE (that could be any name that starts with J) Hoping that it could be John ..HOWE.. Ira HOWE's father .. Ira married Elizabeth SACKETT ... (we do not know who her parents were..) I will investigate more and find out, if I can, IF John HOWE lived in any of the towns of Amenia: Ameniaville, The City, Wassaic, Amenia Union, South Amenia, Leedsville, Sharon Station <<<: GenConnecticut-L@rootsweb.com Message-Id: <199812051505.KAA16186@mime4.prodigy.com> Subject: [GenConnecticut-L] Gillett I don't have anything on Samuel, but find th following in Frenc's 1860 NY Gazetteer: The town of Amenia: Ameniaville, The City, Wassaic, Amenia Union, South Amenia, Leedsville, Sharon Station Richard Sackett purchased large tracts of the Indians in Sharon Station and in Sharon, CT, and settled in 1711. Mr Sackett was connected with the Livingstons in the settlement of the Palatinates at "German Camp" (now Germantown, Columbia Co.). Ulric Winegar and his son Capt. Garrett, were the next families. They removed from "German Camp" in 1724 and settled on the Oblong tract. The father died in 1754, aged 102 years. _______ Delamater settled soon after the Winegars, n.w. of Amenia Union. Henry Nase, Stephen Hopkins, Joel GILLETT, Hez. King,Abm. and Joshua Paine, J. Howe, and Elisha KINNEY settled previous to 1743. After this time the town rapidly filled up with settlers, mostly from New England.>>>> Any thoughts?? Jill
