[Harry Sackett] was born June 7, 1877, on the family farm northeast of Gobles, Michigan. He was raised there and was always very dependable and seemed to take a man's place in the work on the farm from the time he was twelve years old. He worked at home until he was about twenty-four years of age. Then for about four years he worked on a farm at farm labor. Then he worked in a hardware store for a time. After he married he ran a dray in Gobles for about a year and then went on to a farm and later purchased a farm of his own. At about the age of fifty he moved to Battle Creek, Michigan where he worked in the Kellogg Food Factory until a short time before his death. He was a religious man (Seventh Day Adventist), and, in the words of his brother, Frank, was a wonderful man.
