     Miss Flora C. Sackett, 77 years old, died yesterday at the home of her sister, Mrs. W. B. Garlick, 1410 North Sixth street, Kansas Side. Telegrams were sent to almost every state in the Union telling of her death. Miss Sackett, "Auntie Sackett," as she was familiarly known to thousands of boys and girls whom she has taught in Kansas Side public schools for more than thirty years, is said to have been one of the most popular teachers in the city.
     She came to the Kansas Side in 1876 and started teaching in old Armstrong. Later she was a teacher in old Kansas City, Kas., now the first ward of the Kansas Side. Miss Sackett later became a teacher in the Central school and continued in service until 1908, when she retired.
     Funeral services will be at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon from 1410 North Sixth street.
