Edwin's obituary
Died, at his home, south of Brooklyn, Thursday morning, Sept. 3, 1896, of apoplexy, Edwin Sackett, age 73 years, 4 months and 28 days. Deceased was born near Buffalo, N. Y., April, 6, 1823, and left the state of his nativity ten years later, locating in Berien County, Mich., where in the year 1850, he was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Hall. By this union twelve children were born, ten of whom, with the faithful wife, survive to mourn the loss of a loving father and husband. In 1855 he moved to Poweshick County, Iowa, where he resided until his death. He was one of the pioneer settlers of this county and was known far and wide for his cordial hospitality. He was a man whose honesty and integrity were never questioned; a good neighbor a firm friend, and perfectly upright in his dealings with his fellowmen. For his many traits of character he was esteemed by a large circle of friends. He was industrious from youth and provided a good home for his family, to whom he was greatly attached. His last illness was of short duration. He arose in the morning and was engaged in the performance of his ordinary duties when taken sick. He continued to grow rapidly worse. All that human hands could do was of no avail, and within two hours he passed into the valley of the shadow of death. The funeral services were held at his late home Saturday, at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. W. S. Knight, after which the remains were laid at rest in the I. O. O. F. Cemetery. The funeral was largely attended by friends and neighbors, 123 teams being at the house. There were thirty-three grand children, twenty-nine of whom were present at the funeral. The family have the sympathy of all in this great hour of sorrow.

Elizabeth's obituary
Mrs. Elizabeth Hall Sackett Overman died at her home in south Brooklyn at 8:10 p.m., January 14, 1909, aged 79 years, 6 months and 30 days. Deceased was born in Ohio, June 15, 1829. While a child with her parents left her native state and located in Berrien County, Michigan, where in the year 1850 she was married to Edwin Sackett who departed this life twelve years ago and to this union there were born 12 children, 8 of whom survive to mourn the loss of a most devoted mother. In the year 1855, they moved to Poweshiek County, Iowa where they resided until her death.
     Early in life she gave her heart to God and united with the Methodist Church. By her pure unselfish character, her kindness and charity towards all, her memory will forever bear in the hearts of her children, her friends and neighbors. She was a great sufferer for years with lung trouble but God in is wisdom spared her to her family until they have grown to men and women. She lived for those she loved, always thinking and planning for their comforts and happiness. In the year 1903 on September 10, she united in marriage with J.B. Overman with whom she lived until death separated them. It is hard to give mother up but the Heavenly Father said, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth, they shall rest from their labors and their work do follow them.
     The funeral services were held at the M.E. Church at 2:00 Saturday afternoon conducted by Rev. W.S. Kight and Rev. W.L. Clapp after which the remains, followed by a large concourse of friends and neighbors, were tenderly laid to rest in the IOOF Cemetery.

In 1851 he engaged in the wagon making business on his own account at St. Joseph, Mo., making a specialty of fitting out trains for emigrant parties, who were taking the overland route to the Pacific slope. In 1852, with his own teams and wagons, he joined one of these companies, consisting of 33 men, one woman and one child, and journeyed with them through the Indian country, over the Salt Lake route, down the Humbolt, up Carson, and over the mountains to Lake Tahoe, reaching Sacramento in the month of August. There, after trying his hand at mining, he again engaged in wagon making, but soon removed to Napa, Cal., where, after making a return trip to New York State and a prospecting tour through Northern California, he settled down to the life of a farmer, at which occupation he, in 1906, was still engaged.

Children of Kirtland Sackett and Nancy Henery


1388. Kirtland Sackett, 1831, of Napa, Cal. son of (613) Pliny and Nancy Bartell Sackett, was married, Nov. 5, 1861, to Nancy Henery, daughter of Samuel Henery. He was born at Boston Center, Erie Co., N. Y., and accompanied his parents to Berien County, Mich., in 1838. When well advanced in his "teens" he went to Niles, Mich., and there served an apprenticeship as a wheelwright. He subsequently worked at his trade in Chicago, Ottawa, and Peru in Ill., and at St. Louis and Weston in Missouri. In 1851 he engaged in the wagon making business on his own account at St. Joseph, Mo., making a specialty of fitting out trains for emigrant parties, who were taking the overland route to the Pacific slope. In 1852, with his own teams and wagons, he joined one of these companies, consisting of 33 men, one woman and one child, and journeyed with them through the Indian country, over the Salt Lake route, down the Humbolt, up Carson, and over the mountains to Lake Tahoe, reaching Sacramento in the month of August. There, after trying his hand at mining, he again engaged in wagon making, but soon removed to Napa, Cal., where, after making a return trip to New York State and a prospecting tour through Northern California, he settled down to the life of a farmer, at which occupation he, in 1906, was still engaged.
