Deaths
In Bennettsburg, N.Y., Sept. 10th, Mrs. Gratia Sackett aged 82 years.
She became a member of the Baptist church in early life, and was permitted to witness the conversion of her husband and a large family of children. A mother in Israel has gone to her reward.
—The Examiner and Chronicle, New York, NY, 18 Nov 1869, p 5
Died, near Bennettsburg, at the residence of her son, Sept. 10th 1869, Gratia Sackett, aged 82 years 7 months and 24 days.
The subject of this notice, whose maiden name was Gratia Perkins, was born at South Kingston, R.I. At about the age of 14 years she was hopefully converted and united with the Baptist church at that place, where she lived until a short time previous to her marriage, in 1814, to Philo Sackett of Columbia Co., N.Y. In 1828 they removed to the town of Hector, now Schuyler Co., where she has since resided. She lived nearly 50 years with her companion when death separated them in 1863. It was a great satisfaction to the aged parents to see all their children pleasantly settled near them, and entertaining a like precious hope in the blessed Redeemer. But their labours are ended and they have entered their rest. Truly "the memory of the just is blessed."
