     Adnah Sackett was born in Southwick, Mass., and after receiving a common school education, went to Providence to learn the jewelry business. Soon after reaching his majority he began manufacturing jewelry on his own account, introducing machinery to a greater extent than it was being used by any other manufacturer of jewelry in the country. Politically he was a Democrat, and was the nominee of his party for the Mayor of Providence and Governor of Rhode Island. He was universally recognized and respected as a successful business man and public spirited citizen, filling with credit many responsible positions, both public and private, of influence and trust.
