Ed: It appears that Joel Bascom Sackett had a varied background. His headstone lists him as Rev. Joel B. Sackett and the following quote gives a bit about the Doctor: "Joel was a Christian minister of the Camelite sect. At times he also functioned as a doctor. Joel died February 1, 1904, at a place called Little Prairie Round just west of Marcellus, Michigan and he was buried at the Little Prairie Round Cemetary." - [Andrew P. Sackett, "Ancestors and Descendants of Frederick Plummer Sackett"; page 76] Thurmon TSFA Historian On Sun, 25 Apr 2004 18:35:20 -0700 "Ed Page" <edpage@nwi.net> writes: > Here he is..... > > 1870 Us Census...
