Conesus Lake's L. M. Sackett Dies
The summer won't be quite the same at Conesus Lake this year. Leonard M. Sackett, known to cottagers past and present along the lake, died Sunday (May 23, 1954) following an extended period of poor health.
     About 50 years ago Mr. Sackett located at Conesus Lake and about 30 years ago opened up a business in what is now known as Sackett's Harbor on the west side of the lake. The business included a boat livery, cottages, an old-fashioned country general store, gasoline station, real estate and insurance.
     As one friend put it, "He was too busy for many hobbies." For years his store and other establishments were the center of activity for cottagers in the area. Until last year, when his health began to fail, Mr. Sackett personally ran the store.
     Only last week, Mr. Sackett returned to the lake after spending the winter with his son, John V. Sackett, in Syracuse. A few hours before his death, Mr. Sackett was taken to the Wyoming Community Hospital in Warsaw where he died.
     Mr. Sackett was born in Eckford, Mich., and attended Brockport Normal School (now Brockport State Teachers College). He held teaching posts in Geneseo and Conesus and at one time was principal of Margaretville High School as well as president of Margaretville Training School for Teachers.
     He was a member and past master of Margaretville Masonic Lodge, 389, and a member of the Odd Fellows. He was a charter member of Geneseo Grange.
     In addition to his son, John, Mr. Sackett is survived by another son, Leland D. Sackett of Geneseo, and a sister, Mrs. William J. Davy of Bergen.
     Masonic rites will be held at 8 p.m. today in the Findlay Funeral Home, Geneseo. Funeral services will be conducted there at 2 p.m. Thursday by the Rev. William H. Dilts, pastor of Geneseo Presbyterian Church. Burial will be in Scottsburg Cemetery, Scottsburg.

Mrs. Frances D. Sackett
The body of Mrs. Frances D. Sackett of Geneseo, who died Sunday at the home of her son, John V. Sackett, 161 Hope Avenue, was taken to Geneseo by Frank C. Snyder, funeral director, and the funeral will be held there at 2 P.M. Tuesday. The Rev. Joseph Sunter of Geneseo Presbyterian Church will officiate and burial will be in Scottsburg. Besides her son, who is head of the music department at Nottingham High School, Mrs. Sackett is survived by her husband, Leonard M. Sackett, and two other sons, Leland D. and John Sackett of Geneseo; a sister, Miss F. Elizabeth Dunn of Syracuse, and a brother, Benjamin H. Dunn of Albany.

Mrs. L. M. Sackett
Geneseo—Mrs. Frances D. Sackett, 69, wife of L. M. Sackett of Sackett's Harbor, Conesus Lake, died Sunday in Syracuse after a long illness.
     Mrs. Sackett was born in Scottsburg and was educated in Geneseo State Normal School following which she taught in Arkport and Napanoch high schools. In later years she assisted her husband in the operation of the Conesus Lake summer resort section, known as Sackett's Harbor.
     Besides her husband, she is survived by two sons, Leland D. Sackett, Conesus Lake, and John V. Sackett, Syracuse; a sister, F. Elizabeth Dunn, Syracuse, and a brother, Benjamin H. Dunn, Albany.
     Funeral services will be conducted at 2 o'clock this afternoon in the mortuary in Geneseo. Interment will be in Scottsburg Cemetery.

The birth date of 8 Sep 1872, recorded by Weygant, presumably from correspondence with the family, and also as reported by Leonard himself in Social Security records, would appear to have been a deliberately delayed date to fit better with his parents marriage date of 2 Nov 1871. It seems likely that Leonard never knew his true date of birth.
