    Boy Drowned—His Body Recovered.
    A boy about sixteen years of age, son of Alfred E. Barber, Tolland, who has lived with his grandfather, A. S. Barber, at No. 126 Wells street in this city, was drowned in the Connecticut river between 7 and 8 o'clock Saturday evening. He had been to the East Hartford side in a yawl boat, and was returning with two lads, when in sculling the boat his oar slipped and he went overboard. Yesterday morning several men dragged the river, and at about 10½ o'clock the body was recovered by Mr. Joseph Schalk. Coroner Holmes summoned a jury of inquest, consisting of Charles B. May foreman, Ralph Wallace, Henry A. King, John N. Palmer, Edward Sackett, and Francis Flynn, and a verdict of accidental drowning was rendered. The deceased has been one of the Courant carriers for three years, and was one of the most faithful in service.

    I. Chronicles, Chapter II.
       1. And it came to pass in the reign of Ulysses, the son of Jesse, and in the fifth year of his reign, that Simeon, the son of John, the son of Samuel of the tribe of Ford, who dwelt on the plains of Judea to the southward of Mount Rat, opened his mouth and spake unto Malinda, his wife, who was the daughter of Moses, the son of Benjamin of the tribe of Sackett, saying:
       2. Behold, have not these two sisters journeyed from a far city, where smoke ascendeth continually, even unto this land in which their fathers dwelt? and, behold, are they not yet with us?
       3. Therefore, is it not meet that we should assemble together the remnant of thy tribe and kindred that we may make merry with our friends?
       4. And she answered and said, as it seemeth good unto my lord, so do.
       5. So they sent forth and summoned all the tribe of Sackett who dwelt in the region round about.
       6. And in the eighth month and thirteenth day of the month, this people said one to another, come, let us arise and go unto the house of Simeon, and we will prepare food for the feast to take with us.
       7. And there came Orpha and Minerva, daughters of Benjamin, who dwelt together to the southward, and their charioteer was Frederick, of the tribe of Brinsmade; and with them three daughters of Marilla, the widow of Henry, the son of Benjamin, the son of Benjamin.
       8. From the northward, even from the country of Warren, came Eliza, widow of Myron, the son of Achsah the daughter of Benjamin.
       9. And Mary, the daughter of Justus, the son of Benjamin, and wife of George, who was a tiller of the soil, bringing their children and children's children.
       10. Also, Emily a sister of Mary, who dwelt where her forefathers had lived for many generations; now the husband of Emily was Henry, the son of Silas, and they, together with their household, journeyed southward.
       11. And Charles, the son of Achsah the daughter of Benjamin, drove in his chariot alone, for Phebe, his wife, was ill at home.
       12. Now, Lucy, the daughter of Justus, the son of Benjamin, who dwelt far to the southward, even by the sea coast, came with Louis, her husband, who was a skilful player of instruments, together with their children.
       13. Lucinda, the wife of Edgar, son of Sheldon, came also with her husband to the feast.
       14. And all the sons of Simeon, yea, and his whole household, together with all that had come from far were numbered, and their number was thirty and three.
       15. And it came to pass that when all the people were assembled, they had much pleasant discourse together, and Lois, a little maiden of the tribe of Ford, who had journeyed from a far country, even from beyond the sea, lifted up her voice and sang in an unknown tongue, making sweet music before all the people.
       16. Now, when the set time was come, the wives and daughters prepared the feast quickly from the many baskets full which were gathered in store; for they had all things pleasant to the taste and goodly to the eye.
       17. Now Darius, the son of Clark, the son of Benjamin, who was a learned man among the people, had sent a present to Orpha, a little tea, from beyond Jordan, even from China, and Orpha brought this present, and other goodly things to the feast, saying, let us all drink of it; and the fragrance filled the whole house where they were sitting.
       18. And when they were seated at the feast, Simeon, who was a ruler of the synagogue, arose and spake unto Henry, saying, it is meet that we call upon the name of the Lord; so Henry gave thanks unto the Lord; then all the people ate and were filled, and the fragments were many.
       19. Now it came to pass that Charles, not being in the presence of his wife, drank mightily of the tea, until he arose in his cunning and craftiness and seized upon all the sweets which were reserved for the hand-maidens who had served, and a fierce strife arose among the people; then the women arose and bound him with sinewy cords and the contention ceased not till all the sweets were devoured.
       20. When the even was come, the people departed from the house of Simeon and journeyed to their own homes.

    Death of Ralph Curtiss.
    The many relatives and friends of Ralph Curtiss of Waverley, Ill., were shocked and saddened by a dispatch on Friday last, telling of his death. Less than two weeks ago he was thrown from his wagon and a good deal shaken up, but, it was thought, not seriously injured. His relatives were expecting him with his wife, this week, to visit Warren. Alas for human expectations! "Our life is but a vapor."

    F.M.Sackett Ex-Kentucky Senator Dies
    Louisville Lawyer and Business Man Served as Ambassador to Germany 1929 to 1933
    Baltimore, May 18.—(AP.)—Frederick M. Sackett, 72, former United States Senator of Kentucky and ex-ambassador to Germany, died suddenly in a Baltimore hotel at 9:30 a.m. today.
    The senator was in Baltimore with his wife who is convalescing from a recent eye operation. He attended the annual meeting of the Association of Harvard Clubs.
    Senator Sackett was appointed by former President Hoover in December 1929, to succeed Dr. Jacob Gould Schurman as American ambassador to Germany. He relinquished the post in 1933.
    Senator Sackett was born in Providence, R.I., December 17, 1868, received a bachelor's degree from Brown University in 1890 and three years later his law degree from Harvard.
    After Harvard, he ppracticed law at Columbus and Cincinnati, went to Louisville in 1898. There he married Miss Olive Speed, member of one of Kentucky's wealthiest families.
    He continued as lawyer until 1907 when he virtually abandoned legal pursuits in favor of coal, public utilities, banking, real estate and cememnt interests.
    Resigned From Senate.
    Always connected with civic affairs, the senator served as Federal food administrator for Kentucky and as directorof the Louisville branch of the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank.
    In 1924 he received Kentucky's Republican nomination for senator and defeated Senator A.O. Stanley who sought reelection.
    He resigned the Senate in 1930 to accept President Hoover's appointment as ambassador to Germany. A few months after the Reichstag fire in 1933, he resigned his post, returned to the United States and seldom spoke of the genesis of the Nazi rise to power, despite the many interviews sought of him on that subject.
    Senator Sackett figured in the news again a year later when his wife's niece, Mrs. Berry V. Stoll, was kidnapped. With her abductor asking for a $50,000 ransom, one of the largest manhunts in Kentucky was launched, with county, state and Federal officers participating.
    The ransom was paid to the kidnapper and later Mrs. Stoll was found unharmed in an Indianapolis apartment house.
    A short time later, Thomas H. Robinson of Nashville, Tenn., was captured at Glendale, Calif., and sentenced to life imprisonment for the kidnapping.
    Since then, Sackett has remained in the background, tending to his Louisville business interests.

  • The North Haven Citizen, 21 January 2011
    Headstone missing for 40 years will return to North Haven
    headstone pic
    Pic: North Haven Citizen
    Last week, officials solved a North Haven mystery when they located a long-missing, two-centuries-old tombstone.
    Clinton's Sgt. Jeremiah Dunn recently reported that the town's Police Department found a 215-year-old gravestone while cleaning out the old Clinton police building. Through an Internet search, Clinton officers learned that a North Haven family was a likely source for the tombstone.
    In 1888, North Haven's Town Historian Sheldon Thorpe recorded an inventory of all the graves in the Old Center Cemetery on Town Green. In this inventory was the grave of Mrs. Ruth Sackitt, who died on March 27th, 1796. Born in 1755, she was the third wife of Mr. Solomon Sackitt.
    It is unknown when Sackitt's headstone went missing but it was recorded as such by Gloria Furnival in her book On-The-Green, published in 1995. The consensus of opinion at the Clinton Police Department is the headstone was entered into their evidence system in the 1970's. However, the reason why has been lost to history.
    North Haven Police Chief James X. DiCarlo assigned to the case Office Ted Stockman, who enlisted the aid of North Haven's Historical Society. It was determined that the gravestone definitely belonged in the North Haven Center Cemetery on the North Haven Green. It is one of approximately 25 grave stones that have been reported missing over the years.
    In Clinton the headstone was discovered underneath debris by Public Works employee Jeff Heser, while the clean out was underway for building remodeling. Ten years ago, Clinton Police moved to a new site. Now the mystery begins.
    The headstone is a typical, ornate marker from Colonial times. It includes the verse Death is a debt to nature due, that I have paid and so must you. Many Colonial headstones display verses the author felt appropriate.
    Complicating the mystery was the gravestone's spelling of Sackitt, a surname known locally today as Sackett. However, it is relatively common for spellings of family names to evolve and change over time—Ellis Island's affect comes to mind.
    It is more probable that legal documents drawn up by town clerks contained misspellings, and the alterations were adopted by the subject of the document. A probable exception to this was the masons who carved the stones. The North Haven Historical society has a collection of stones that were never finished because they contained errors. Many of the masons who worked in North Haven did so for periods of 10 years, carving numerous stones. Accuracy in the stones was very important to them.
    Unfortunately, the headstone is broken into three pieces. Lynn Fredericksen, vice chairwoman of the North Haven Cemetery Commission, said We will have it properly reinstalled on her grave as soon as we can. The stone will be retrieved from Clinton's Police Department and will be stored at North Haven's Historical Society to give the Cemetery Commission time to develop a plan for the repair and placement of the headstone.
    So, after 40 years, Mrs. Ruth Turner Sackitt's headstone will return to the Old Center Cemetery. On any nice day you can observe people, many with their children, touring the graveyard on Town Green. Here is the history of North Haven. It is now one step closer to being complete.
    Anyone interested in further research should visit the North Haven Historical in the Cultural Center on Broadway. The center is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. The public is welcome.

    Marian Sackett Whiting
    Southbury — Marian Sackett Whiting of Southbury, formerly a longtime resident of Bethany, died peacefully on December 26, 2023, at the age of 94.
    Born on May 30, 1929, in New Haven, Marian grew up believing that the Memorial Day parades and picnics were in honor of her birthday. She was one of the nine children born to the late Charles Sackett, Sr., and Florence Riley Sackett in New Haven.
    She was predeceased by the greatest love of her life, her husband, Leonard C. Whiting, Jr. Theirs was a fairy tale romance with Leonard announcing to her parents that he would marry their daughter even before their first date.
    Family was everything to Marian. Left to treasure her memory are her daughters, Darcey DiMenna (Daniel) of Texas and Brenda Beard (Geoffrey) of Connecticut, and the grandchildren, who called her Nani, Jeffery Surprise (Sarah) and Gayle DiMenna-Maus (William), both of Texas, Leonard Beard (Valerie) of Connecticut, Laura Conte (Chad) of New Hampshire, Andrew Beard (Brooke) of Massachusetts and Rebecca Beard of Pennsylvania, as well as 10 great-grandchildren, all of whom brought her the greatest joy by calling her Great Nani.
    Marian is also survived by her sister, Betty LaCroix; her brother-in-law, Joseph Massini, and her sisters-in-law, Ann Sackett and Barbara Whiting. Also to remember her are more than 40 nieces and nephews who lovingly called her Aunt Mare.
    Growing up in Woodbridge, Marian worked as a clerk for Yale University prior to her marriage.
    After raising her two daughters, she taught bowling to children with special needs and volunteered her time at Partnership in Hamden helping the senior residents to make crafts.
    Marian excelled at arts and crafts and many benefited from her talent. From handmade dresses to quilts, dolls and doll clothing, beaded Christmas ornaments and knitting, there was no limit to her interests and talent. During her last years, despite having lost most of her vision, she continued to knit squares that were combined to make crazy blankets for her 10 great-grandchildren.
    Her philosophy for life was kindness, always reminding us that if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all. “While we were often embarrassed as children by her chatting with strangers in the grocery store, we find ourselves doing the same thing.” It never hurts to be nice to people.
    She welcomed everyone to her home and was a great listener, imparting her wisdom and humor when someone needed it.
    A service to celebrate this charming, loving woman will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, January 13, at the Middlebury Congregational Church, 1242 Whittemore Rd., Middlebury. Time for visiting with the family will follow the service in the church meeting hall.
    The service will be live-streamed for those unable to attend: https://www.youtube.com/c/middleburycongreagationalchurch.
    In lieu of flowers, donations are sought in Marian’s name to the Southbury Food Bank, 88 Main St. South, Southbury 06488; www.SouthburyFoodBank.org.
