A while back we had a query concerning Alton Sackett of MN. In the discussion which followed there was speculation that he was the same person as Elihu Elton Sackett. The person posting the query insisted that they were not the same. In the MN Deaths Index we have: SACKETT, ALTON CertID# 1972-MN-001413 Date of Birth: 10/12/1892 Place of Birth: MINNESOTA Mother Maiden Name: SKINNER Date of Death: 01/06/1972 County of Death: PENNINGTON SACKETT, ELIHU ELTON CertID# 1967-MN-006377 Date of Birth: 12/27/1892 Place of Birth: MINNESOTA Mother Maiden Name: BIRCH Date of Death: 03/13/1967 County of Death: MARTIN So both of them were born in the same year which led to the confusion.
