    Mine Found in Orange County
    Johannes Closson, formerly a workman of Mr. Schuyler's, about eleven years ago, came to me, and told me that he had found a mine on my land above the Highlands, at a place called Blooming-Grove, lying between Goshen and the river, in Orange County, where my eldest son Joseph Sacket, Jun. now lives. I made him several offers. He said it would not do, but if I would give him a lease for a term of years, he would carry it on at his own cost, and deliver me one half at the pit's mouth, and come to work in 6 or 8 month's time, and told me the ore was as good as Mr. Schuyler's. But he died before the time he was to come. About 4 years ago, I heard his widow made enquiry after a Sacket on Long Island, I went over to her, she said her husband had been dead 7 years, but he told her that on one Sacket's land, above the Highlands, on the west side of the river, he had found a mine, and that he dug very shallow, and could heave it out by bushels, but he covered it up carefully, and that it was near by a spring, and not far from a brook. There was an elderly Dutchman present then, and he said he had often evenings and mornings conversed with him, and he said he had often told him the same thing, and heard him say, if he had his leave, and lived 7 years, he should be a gentleman. Now if any person can discover the vein of ore, if it is on my lands, he shall have out of the first clear profits, 300 l., or he shall have it for a term of years, as Closson was to have it, or he shall have the 8th part of it for ever, as witness my hand, July 27, 1752.

    The Yankee Card Writer.
    In our paper of yesterday morning we briefly announced the arrival of that erratic genius the "Yankee Card-Writer." He occupies rooms at the Globe, where he will be happy to see ladies and gentlemen who desire elegant wedding or visiting cards.
    A card case filled with tasteful and elegant visiting cards are an almost indispensable requisite to a lady or gentleman, and no one who mingles in refined society should be without them. Those written by the "Yankee Card-Writer" are quite equal in elegance and beauty to the finest engraving, and possess the important additional qualification of being the most fashionable style now in use. He will remain in the city but a short time, and those who desire to have their card cases filled with a beautiful article will do well to call soon. Specimens of his cards may be seen at the bookstore of L. W. Hall.

    "The "Yankee Card Writer"—We are gratified to learn that our fellow citizen, Mr. O. Sackett, the "Yankee Card Writer," is highly eulogized by the press wherever he goes. The following which we clip from the Syracuse Daily Journal, is but one of the many favorable notices which have come under our observation. "Mr. S. has done a good business here, which he cannot fail to do everywhere. Indeed, he is without a rival or an equal in his line."

    O. Sackett, the "Yankee Card Writer."
    O. Sackett, the "Yankee Card Writer."
    The above portrait of the "Yankee Card Writer," was engraved by Carson of Albany, N. Y., and though a poorly executed likeness, will serve to give our readers some idea of the personal appearance of this celebrated artist.
    Mr. O. Sackett was born near Rochester, N. Y., and at a very early age exhibited an extraordinary talent for portraiture and penmanship. His parents being poor, were unable to assist him, to either make progress in his favorite area, or in attaining an education. Through the kindness, however, of Professor Phelps, the principal of an academy in Sherburne, N.Y., he at the age of twelve years, commenced his education at that institution, paying all expenses except board by superintending the writing department two hours each day. After one year of close study, finding his wardrobe deficient in many important particulars, he became nearly discouraged, and seriously determined to engage in some kind of labor, which should furnish the means whereby he might procure books and clothes, and heprepared to prosecute his studies in a more respectable manner.
    A few days previous to that upon which he proposed putting his plans into execution, he was presented, by Prof. Phelps, with a teacher's certificate, and informed that a school had been engaged, which he could conduct (although then but thirteen years of age) as successfully as any person in the State, if he only thought so himself. This was advised by the Professor, who said:—"If you try to earn money by manual labor, your age, and lack of physical maturity will render it impossible for you to command such wages as would assist you in getting an education before you will become discouraged and give up altogether." The advice was taken—the first school successfully taught—after which, he for two years. alternately taught and was taught, until he arrived at the age of fifteen. At this time his talent for portraiture seemed to have gained the ascendency, and without instruction, or the advantage of witnessing the work of any artist, he boldly offered himself to the public, and for two years successfully practiced his profession in the different cities and large towns in his native State.
    His miniatures, for truthfulness, and delicacy of tint and finish, have never been excelled by any other artist in this country, and will be treasured, by those who possess them, as rare souvenirs, as well of the artist, as the original.
    At seventeen he had already enjoyed the patronage of large numbers of the most autocratic families, in different parts of the State, whose attentions soon brought him before the public, through the press. This so increased his business that he could not possibly execute miniatures as rapidly as ordered. Being ambitious, he unwisely applied himself day after day, and week following week, so closely to business, that he soon lost his sight.
    After careful treatment, in two months his sight returned but not sufficiently perfect to ever permit him to follow his favorite profession. Nothing discouraged, he immediately commenced giving instruction in penmanship,—arranged and perfected a new and beautiful system which he called the "Science of writing," by which he has successfully taught, in eight years, in this and several other States, about twelve thousand pupils, and left the field with a reputation far beyond any other teacher in the United States, not only as a professor; but as an original and most successful disciplinarian, and yet Mr. S. has never received a moments instruction in penmanship from any person—having already given instruction two years before witnessing the process pursued in any similar school.
    All the different professions in which Mr. S. has figured have been stamped with great originality and novelty. He seems never to have followed in a course, marked out by any but himself, and at present, and in every profession chosen, he has gained a higher position, and a more extended reputation than any person preceding him.
    Several years since, while carelessly using a metallic pencil, he discovered that a most beautiful impression was made by it upon enameled cards, he at once commenced presenting his young lady pupils (with whom he has always been immensely popular) with visiting cards written by himself.
    The result of this kindness to pupils free of charge, was such an increased demand of similar favors, that in order to stop it in future, the better to attend to the business of teaching, it became necessary to make a charge, and by demanding pay for visiting cards, Mr. S. thought to drive all orders away; but on the contrary, not only pupils, but those not under instructions were relieved of the delicacy which kept them from ordering cards for which no charge was made, and so great was the demand, and so numerous the orders sent, that a still greater, and more unreasonable charge was made, but with no better success, for the astonishing beauty and artistic perfection of his writing at once placed Mr. Sackett's cards far above Copper plate in the estimation of all persons of taste and fashion, and the extravagant prices charged were paid without reluctance.
    Mr. S., never blind to the attractions of money, decided to try card writing as a profession, and immediately commenced operations. Two years have hardly elapsed since, and yet the "Yankee Card Writer" (which cognomen has been assumed by Mr. S.) has effected the greatest revolution in the fashionable world, ever witnessed. —Wherever he goes he is thronged with orders from the most distinguished families, who notwithstanding they have already a supply of beautifully engraved cards, at a much cheaper rate, will use no cards except those executed by the "Yankee."
    In Albany, in seven weeks, Mr. S. executed with his own hand, and delivered to his customers, 30,000 cards.
    The rapidity with which he writes (every card is written by hand) is without parallel, and for splendor and perfection of execution, cannot be equaled by the most finished copper plate.
    Mr. S. is the originator of this profession, out of which he will easily realize a fortune if he does not, as a former case apply himself so closely as to destroy his sight.
    It will be seen that whatever Mr. S. has followed for a livelihood up to the present, has been suggested by circumstance, and developed and made valuable by personal effort,—hence, instead of exciting envy, it should secure for him the earnest "God speed you" of every friend of industry and genius."

    The Cholera.—A case of Cholera which terminated fatally last night, has created some excitement among our citizens, and in order to correct any misapprehensions we have taken particular pains to learn the whole particulars; and we are glad to be able to show that in every particular the cautionary words of our authorities and of the press in general, deserve implicit attention.
    Yesterday afternoon, a farmer named Harmon Van Buren, with a friend named Schermerhorn, arrived in this city from the west, and put up at the Hotel of Mr. Baker, corner of Fayette and Salina streets. Setting in the doorway, he was suddenly seized with diarrhoea and remarked that his sight was beclouded and he was faint, yet chilly. Dr. Shipman was sent for, and at once pronounced the case a fatal one, collapse having ensued upon the rice-water evacuation, & c. Dr. Samson was called in, and concurred with Dr. Shipman in tracing the identity of the symptoms with those of the cases occurring in 1832, under their observation and treatment.
    Mr. Van Buren died at 9 o'clock last night—aged 62 1-2 years—only eleven hours after his first attack. The deceased had been formerly a farmer, at Gouverneur, St. Lawrence county, and had been to Illinois to purchase a farm; returning through Canada, he was among the passengers who were imperilled by a mishap at Princeton, C.W.; and, passing across the Lake, he took the Central Railroad at Rochester, taking no regular meals, but upon an empty stomach he ate some cold pie at a Saloon. On arriving here he was faint and exhausted, and sat in the draught at the doorway, where the first manifestation of the consequence of his persistent violation of nature was made. The long suspension of the natural course he had pursued as a farmer, under the aggravations of accumulated excitements—all of them sufficient separately to endanger any man's health under ordinary circumstances—are forcible arguments for quiet, orderly, cleanly and regular attention to nature's laws, and an avoidance of excitement. A studious regard to food, selecting supplies according to physical condition, are items of the utmost importance.
    The Cholera has been here, in a fearfully retributive form, and it will be well for all to heed its lesson, avoiding the excesses which have in this instance been so signally chastised.

    Death of Mrs. A. C. Hall.
    Died, in Belmont, Friday evening, January 24th, 1890, Mrs Hannah, wife of Anson C. Hall.
    Mrs. Hall had been an invalid for the past three years, but had been up and around the house. Three weeks ago she was attacked with erysipelas, a disease which had caused her much trouble for many years, and which finally caused her death. She would have been 69 years old, had she lived until yesterday.
    Deceased's maiden name was Hannah Sackett. She was born in Candor, Tioga county, Jan. 27, 1821. She was united in marriage to Anson C. Hall, at Phillips Creek, November 12, 1840, forty-nine years ago last November. Her husband survives her, and she also leaves six children: Richard Hall, of Elmira; Caleb Hall, of Wellsville; James and William Hall, of Phillips Creek; Mrs. Mary Fuller, of Phillips Creek, and Mrs. Elba Reynolds, of Belmont.
    The funeral was held in the Presbyterian church, in this village, at 2 o'clock, Sunday afternoon, Rev. A. M. Bennett, pastor of the 1st Baptist church, officiating, Rev. Mr. Snyder being ill.
    Mr. Hall has the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in his irreparable loss. He is 70 years of age, and the loss of his affectionate helpmate, after nearly half a century of wedded union, is a great affliction for him to bear.

    "OUR NEXT CO. TREASURER
    Something of Interest Concerning Frank E. Sackett.
    THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE
    He Possesses All of the Qualifications Which Entitle Him to Hold the Office—His Able Business Career.
    There is no reason in the world why every resident of the county should not vote for the Democratic nominee for county treasurer. On the other hand there is every reason why each voter of Chemung county should cast their ballot for him. Frank E. Sackett, the man whom the Democrats of this county have selected for this office, possesses every qualification which should fit a man for just such an office. He is a thorough business man and has been allied with the business interests of this county all his life. He is quiet, unassuming and strictly business, and has a most complete knowledge of business methods and how financial matters matters should be conducted. If he is elected to the office of county treasurer—and every indication points to the fact that he will be the successful candidate—the taxpayers of the county may rest perfectly contented that the finances will be cared for in the best possible manner. Mr. Sackett at the present time holds the responsible position of note clerk at the Chemung Canal bank, which institution conducts one of the largest banking businesses in the state. For twenty-seven years he has been connected with the banking business and for that reason has a most complete business knowledge of financial matters end complicated financial accounts. Mr. Sackett has lived in Elmira all his life and his excellent reputation is too well known to every Elmiran to need discussion. It was on July 22, 1855, that Mr. Sackett was born—it also being the same year that Democratic nominee for governor was born—and they will go into office together. The Democratic nominee for treasurer's birthplace was at No. 28 East Water street in what was then the old Fourth ward. He is a descendant of one of the very oldest families in the county and comes from a family whose sterling worth has always been a matter of Chemung county history. Elisha Sackett, grandfather of the Democratic Democratic nominee, came to Elmira about 1825. He was a builder and at that time the present city of Elmira was known as Newtown. He moved here from Spencer and before that time had lived in New York. He was associated with Major Riker in the building business and in 1812 was called to Buffalo to build the first frame building in that city. Mr. Sackett's father was Caleb W. Sackett, who in 1855 conducted a bakery business at the corner of Lane and Carroll streets, the present location of Bundy's grocery.
    His death occurred about thirty-three years ago. Mr. Sackett, the Democratic candidate for treasurer, received his preliminary education in the public schools of this city. He attended both the Sullivan street and William street schools.
    On January 13, 1872, he entered the employ of the Pittston and Elvira Coal company, and remained with them just one year, lacking a few days. In 1873 he resigned that position to enter the Second National bank and remained with that institution until about the time of the big flood of 1859. In June of that year he accepted a lucrative position with the Chemung Canal bank and ever since that time has been one of their valuable attaches.
    Mr. Sackett is a prominent member of the Royal Arcanum, being a member of Chemung council, No. 208, of this city. He is prominent socially as well as in business circles and particularly happy in his home life. He was married twenty-two years ago and with his wife and daughter resides in their pretty home at No. 612 Maple avenue. Last spring the residents of the Eleventh ward showed their appreciation and confidence in the Democratic nominee for treasurer by electing him alderman, and his excellent record n the common council shows how well he has justified their selection. When a young man Mr. Sackett was a member of the Elmira volunteer fire department and served efficiently as a member of company No. 2, being at that time but nineteen years of age. Members of the department remember well his popularity in the company. Mr. Sackett has always been alive to the interests of the city and has assisted in more than one enterprise. He has always been one of the enthusiastic of the local base ball "fans" and has year after year aided liberally in maintaining every team Elmira has put in the field. He was such an earnest supporter that the members of one team took his name and called themselves Sackett's pets. Mr. Sackett takes much interest in all athletic sports and out door exercises and in his younger days was himself a good base ball player. He is well known and very popular with all classes alike and any one who knows him can not fail to like him. With his genial and pleasant ways he makes friends wherever he goes. There is not the slightest suspicion of a point that could ever be raised in opposition to Mr. Sackett's candidacy and the election to the office of county treasurer would be but a just honor. He is a gentleman and thorough good fellow and adds material strength to the strong county ticket. Sackett, Lynch, Weeks, Green and Colegrove make a quintette (sic) that is hard to equal and with the Hon. John B. Standfield to head the ticket should carry the county with a handsome majority."

    Well Known Buffalo Women
    Miss Clara E. Sackett
    Imaglne, if you can, a painter of portraits who gives the exact and "speaking" likeness so desired, who yet is a painter of beautiful dreams, a portrayer at the same time of the soul and the flesh.
    If your imagination has gone so far, you will have recognized Miss Clara Sackett, who, from the beginning of her ten years' residence in Buffalo, has taken the initiative as a miniaturist.
    As a "painter in little," she still leads, although many large canvasses attest her versatility as an artist. It is, however, as a miniaturist that Miss Sackett is known in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Western cities, where she has exhibited with the American Society of Miniature Painters, and the American Water Color Artists.
    It was also as an exponent of the art of "painting in little" that Miss Sackett responded to the call of the World's Congress of Women, who specialized to her, the request sent to women who had achieved distinction on any field. Although she had in possession a canvass which had hung in the Paris Salon, Miss Sackett sent to Berlin an ivory portrait the exquisite likeness of a white-haired gentlewoman of Boston—"A Lady of Quality," the artist terms it.
    "Five years at hard labor" in Paris, preceded by two years of study in New York at the Art Students' League, under Chase, Cox and Beckwith taught Miss Sackett to handle her tools so skillfully. But back of the invaluable technical drill there stands a most fortunate inheritance.
    On the one side—a Scotch-Irish ancestry, whose marked characteristics were intrepidity of daring and brilliancy of achievement under difficulties mountain high. On the other side the quaintness of the France which lies outside of Paris, combined with the rich mosaic of that paradise of visions—the heritage of blood throbbing with the priceless garner of Italy's centuries.
    It was her Scotch-Irish grandmother, twice removed, who was the wife of Col. Campbell of the Cherry Valley massacre, and who, being for two years held as hostage by the Indians, dauntlessly lived out her destiny, forcing respect from Indian captors by stoical endurance matching their own; cutting the notch of each memory marker on sticks as the days went by that she might not lose count of time, and finally after gaining the title of "Medicine Woman," in the tribe, being united once more with husband and children.
    With this overflowing wealth of heredity—with the scientific training of French schools—the help of such critics as Benjamin Constat, Callot, Delecluse, Delance, Aman Jean—the inspiration of breathing the same air with Gerome, Bouguereau, Dagnan—Bouveret, with the palettes of Carolus—Duran and Alexander Harrison as aids to color—and over all, the skies of sunny France, the land of the idealist, where reigns a sympathy with and comprehension of the work of the artist to be found nowhere else under the stars—is it remarkable that Miss Sackett's experience should reach into and envelop her pictured faces with that indefinable shadow which belongs to the land of dreams rather than that of earth?
    Herein lies the charm of her portraits. They have all the common properties of the lineaments, but in addition Miss Sackett gives the soul of the sitter as she sees it through the veil of features. This intangibility of illusiveness of the art of soul-painting applied to portraiture brings its own results and Miss Sackett's miniatures are as far removed from the ordinary artistic conception of ivory backgrounds and flesh-toned foregrounds as one could wish them to be.
    Miss Sackett's versatility as an artist is too well known to need more than passing comment. "A Street Corner in San Briac" exhibited in the Paris exhibition in 1895, shows her in an entirely new line which she treats with equal skill.
    In 1893, after one of those battles with heart and mentality which every soul faces sooner or later in this sorrow-stricken world in adjusting its losses, Miss Sackett created Psyche, which brought her the fellowship prize of $50, offered by the Buffalo Society of Artists. The picture was later sold to Mr. Barnsdall of Pittsburg.
    In speaking of the student life in Paris, Miss Sackett said: "It is marvelous, the absolute devotion to art of the students. We could see them every morning from our apartment in the Latin Quarter, going by at daylight carrying the piece of bread upon which they would lunch and dine—some of them absorbed in the one thought to accomplish something really worth while in art."
    In this connection, Miss Sackett told me a litle story which had its faintly humorous side, but which was yet sadder than the grave. She had gone to the Beaux-Arts to see a figure in bronze which more than anything else exemplifies the extent of sacrifice of which the French artist is capable. The story has it that this figure was finished in the clay by a Frenchman during a cold winter's night, and that in order to protect it from freezing he had wound it in his clothing and the covering of the bed. In the morning the figure was found—all unharmed—while beside it lay the frozen body of its creator. Miss Sackett wishing to see this statue, asked the concierge to allow her to see the figure executed by the man who was frozen in saving it. Having been in Paris a comparatively short time, her French was unintelligible to the custodian, who eagerly disclaimed the supposed accusation saying in broken English that no one had been frozen at the Beaux-Arts—that it was very warm and comfortable and that Mademoiselle had certainly been misinformed. At last the artist succeeded in arriving at an understanding and was shown the figure which had cost a life.—"Greater love hath no man than this, that he give his life for his friend." The French men's art was to him that lofty embodiment of friendship, worthy the uttermost—and the uttermost he gave.
    The mantle of her brilliant father, Charles Dewey Sackett, who was a brilliant journalist, has fallen upon his artist daughter, and no better expression of Miss Sackett's experiences of the artist's life in France can be written than her own words tell us.
    Speaking of the universal sympathy of the people toward artists, she says: "Even on the extreme north coast of Brittany where the lover of Nature strays in summer, delighting in the poetry of line and color, the fisher folk stand silent about the easel; though frequently seeing nothing intelligible on the canvas, yet full of deference and encouragement for the would-be-painter.
    "It is an ideal spot for the Bohemian, that land of Pierre Loti's poetical romances; always the sea, and the cross, with women in black gowns and white coifs knitting about it; there they sit and gaze out to sea, where their husbands and sons live and die. The cemeteries contain mostly women's graves.
    "A picture rises before me—it is a starry night late in June. A party of Americans and English are setting sail on the bay, singing college songs to their guitars. At the first silence, applause breaks out on the cliff, where the youth of the town are love-making about the cross. 'Brava! Brava!' they cry, as the bonfire flames up and throws out the figures in relief; they break out tumultously into the wild romantic songs of Brittany. The boat load, now distant, in turn applaud, and hear faintly, "encore, encore"—as they sail far out on the bay; on that water that often seeks the sea, leaving the sands bare."
    Miss Sackett drew a little word picture of a studio class experience which is delightfully realistic.
    "I remember one evening," she said, "the dingy walls were covered with cartoons and rough sketches some by men whose names have long been famous. Fritel, who was critic of the evening, presently came in. He had a dreamy face and a direct gaze that compelled instant deference. One felt the greatness of his ideals and that his life was spent for them.
    "The model had fainted, probably from lack of food, as sometimes happens, and was in charge of some energetic person. So Monsieur Fritel sat quietly waiting, seemingly lost in his own thoughts. When one woman, more daring than the rest, spoke to him timidly, saying she had seen his great painting of 'The Conquerors' at the World's Fair, and that it was much appreciated, he showed his pleasure frankly, speaking to all the class, who moved nearer and surrounded him. He told his idea in the painting, describing his first sketches; how it took him two years to think it out and gather material, and six months to paint it; saying how little the finished work ever comes up to the first conception; expressing resignation and not a little sorrow by the few suggestive words and gestures that the French know so well how to use; answering eager questions from time to time, from here a Dane, there a Russian, German, English. or American pupil. Very few, he said, ever realize their ideals. How few in each age are great.
    "We all remembered his huge canvass of "The Conquerors," a canvass representing a procession of spectral horsemen approaching on a wide thoroughfare that began far back in a dim light. On all sides were the phantom-shapes of those who had perished in struggling to reach their goals. The horsemen bore likeness to Caesar, Napoleon and other leaders of the past.
    "I shall never forget the talk and the whole scene, though it was not an uncommon one. The breathless group In the large bare room, full of easels, the huge lamps above making great arks of light on the stained floor and losing the corners in black shadows. All our hearts were in this simple speech of a truly great man who did not call himself great or good, but who lived up to the best and brightest in his world."
    Among the many unique characters which formed part of the experience of the students, Miss Sackett mentioned Corinne, a model, whose name no one ever knew. This woman, whose figure was analagous, posed for Sara Bernhardt. She came and went and the air of mystery surrounding her was never lessened. When struggling, starving artists fell by the wayside "Corinne" gathered them in and cared for them until they recovered or sold a picture, which is sometimes recovery's equivalent.
    Miss Sackett is just at the present time completing order work. She has one sketch in oil of Miss Florence McCaig, which has been photographed for this page.
    This sketch, executed with great rapidity, is instinct with life and color—a strong contrast to the Romney effects of the small oil portraits of Buffalo women she is completing as order work. These latter portraits shine like gems in the quaint and beautiful settings of Miss Sackett's studio where rare curios are seen everywhere.
    Miss Sackett will go to Seneca Lake in June, where she has several unfulfilled orders for miniatures and small oil portraits. Later, an order list awaits her in Westfield, her former home. Some of these portrait orders come from Warren, Pa., from Elmira and other cities, as well as the home town and Buffalo. The prospect opens, therefore, for a busy summer's work.
    To be an idealist, and at the same time to have that quality of precision which knows the determinate stroke is to be a master.
    Buffalo has not yet seen the best work of Miss Clara Sackett.
    From the persistency that belongs not to humanity but to the region of angels and devils, comes the "big thing," the one great creation of the artist's soul.
    From the heritage of idealism and daring, from years of rich environment and masterly training, fiom the struggle of her soul, will come the "big thing" for Miss Sackett and the achievement will satisfy the most exacting critics.

    Woman Accused by Her Employer
    Mrs. Addie Sackett of Delaware Avenue Boarding-house must plead to petit Larceny.
    Smith Gone Ten Months
    During that Time, so he says, Mrs. Sackett shook him down for about $1,000.
    Mrs. Addie Sackett of No. 393 Delaware avenue will be arraigned in the Police Court this morning to answer a charge of petit larceny. While the theft alleged in the warrant of arrest involves only $17.50, Mrs. Sackett's accuser charges that she has stolen about $1,000 from him. Mrs. Sackett denies taking any such amount as that, and says there was no criminal intent in what she did.
    Her accuser is George D. Smith, owner of a large boarding-house at No. 33 West Tupper street. Last July Mr. Smith hired Mrs. Sackett as housekeeper to take charge of his boarding-house while he went to Saint Louis to open a temporary hotel during the fair. He was gone for six months, then went to Florida and was gone four months more.
    Upon his return he discovered, so he alleges, that his housekeeper had been juggling the accounts to her profit, and he then began the investigation which resulted in his swearing out the warrant.
    "While I was at Saint Louis and in Florida," said Mr. Smith to a reporter for The Express yesterday, "I received letters from her saying that the house was losing money, that the business was dull and there were very few boarders. As a matter of fact, as I learned when I got back, the house was practically full all the time, and she was pocketing money she collected from the boarders.
    "To cover up her misappropriations, she doctored the account books. In some instances she collected money from new boarders who stayed only a few weeks and never made a record of their being there at all; in many instances she made false entries of the date of their arrival so as to make it appear that they had been there a much less period than they really had been there.
    "For instance, take the case specified in the warrant I swore out for her arrest. In this case she had a roomer named Thomas entered in the book as having arrived on March 7th, whereas, in fact, as she afterward confessed to me, and as I can show by his laundry account, he came on January 17th. That is a period of seven weeks during which she collected $17.50 from him, not one cent of which she turned over to me, and no part of which was entered in the book.
    "I have a list of 80 different boarders or roomers on whose accounts Mrs. Sackett knocked down from a few dollars to as high as $45 during my absence. It has taken me weeks to untangle her accounts and get the proofs against her, and I am now prepared to show that she did me out of about $1,000 during the ten months I was away."
    "When I first confronted her with my accusation," continued Mr. Smith, "she confessed that she had made some of the collections that she ought to have turned over to me, but declared that the total wouldn't exceed $400. The next day she told me the amount of her shortage wouldn't be over $300, and the next day after that, in the presence of my lawyer, Louis E. Desbecker, she cut it down to $200, but I can show by boarders and other proofs that she got away with about $1,000 if not more.
    "I asked her what she had done with the money. She said she didn't know. I have reason to believe, however, that she bought a dictionary, a sewing machine and other things which she apparently intended to give as wedding presents to one of her daughters who is about to be married."
    Mrs. Sackett is about 40 years old, a widow with three daughters, and is well known in Geneseo, where she lived up to about three years ago, when she came to Buffalo.
    Mrs. Sackett's Story.
    "I confess to what I have done, but protest against being charged with more than I have done," she said last evening. "Mr. Smith has accused me unjustly. His house will accommodate 60 boarders. I have his own statement in writing that there were only seventeen in the house when he went to Saint Louis, and the house was never anywhere near full while he was away.
    "I never intended to do anything wrong. It was a complicated system. I had to keep three sets of books, and I had never kept books before. The laundry accounts alone were enough to set anyone crazy. It was a bewildering task to keep track of the accounts, and I can mention dozens of payments I made for the house that are not in the books. Where the money went I don't know, but when I came to figure it up I found I was short $85. I had no money to replace it and I became frightened and it was in that state of mind that I tore out some of the pages and made the accounts over, changing the dates and so forth. But I never intended to wrong Mr. Smith, and it was I myself who was first to let him know of my deficit. I claim now that it cannot possibly exceed $300, including even the $100 that he wants to charge me for entertaining my relatives, although he had agreed to let me have a room for them.
    "He offered to settle the whole matter if I would pay him $300, my own figures. I agreed, but he changed his figures, and my attorneys advised me to have no further dealings with him. He has used me meanly, and I say now that I'll go to jail before I'll pay him a cent, although I stood ready, up to the time he raised his figures, to pay him every cent I owed him."

    Peter C. Williams
    Peter Copeland Williams, the youngest child of Albert and Melinda Sackett Williams was born in the town of Ashford, N.Y., May 27, 1844.
    He was one of a family of seven, all of whom lived to a ripe age and crossed the Divide before him.
    He resided in Ashford about thirty-eight years, marrying Vashti Hopkins in 1863. After her death he returned to the old Williams homestead. In 1868 he married Miss Elizabeth Jones and to them were born three children, two of whom died in infancy.
    After the death of his father, Mr. Williams purchased the old Palmer farm near Springville where he resided until after the death of his wife in 1898. He spent some months in the West among relatives and in 1901, he married Mrs. Josie Jones of Great Valley, N.Y., and retired from the farm. Mr. Williams was genial, friendly and neighborly, he never grew old, was always a boy at heart.
    For a number of years he was Overseer of Poor for the town of Concord.
    He was a member of I.O.O.F. of Springville. The members of this order have shown, during the long period of his helplessness, that they do not forget a brother who drops from active life.
    Mr. Williams also belonged to Lodge No. 351, F. & A.M.
    Mr. Williams has been partially paralyzed for over six years and a complete "shut-in" for two years. He was very tenderly cared for by Mrs. Williams. He fell asleep Saturday evening, Jan. 7, 1922.
    His funeral was held at the Baptist church, Wednesday, Rev. Geo. K. Hamilton officiating. Burial in Fairview cemetery.
    Mr. Williams is survived by his widow and one daughter, four grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
    "As ye sow, so shall ye reap," was exemplified at his death. He had always been kind and helpful in time of need or sorrow, and every one came to comfort and assist the family in their time of bereavement.

    Michael P. Toomey Dies On Seat Of His Racing Sulky
    72-year-old Horseman Falls to Track During Workout At County Fair Grounds.
    Michael P. Toomey, 438 Washington avenue, died in the seat of his sulky behind his trotter, Bandon Bell, at 10:15 this morning as he was bringing the horse in from a morning workout at the Chautauqua county fair grounds.
    Other horsemen who had been with Mr. Toomey on the track, some of whom saw him topple from the sulky, believe that his death occurred before he fell to the ground. Coroner George E. Blood after investigating the accident stated that death was apparently due either to heart failure or to a stroke.
    Russell Eckman of Butler, Pa., driving another horse, was immediately behind Mr. Toomey. Others in the party returning from the half-mile track were F. L. Bowman of North East, Pa., and his son, Harold Bowman of St. Petersburg, Fla. On the road just north ot the group of stab!es being used as training quarters, Mr. Eckman saw Mr. Toomey slump in his seat and fall to the ground. Mr. Eckman and several others who were in or near the stables rushed to Toomey's side but life was extinct before they could reach him. Dr. Joseph Rieger was called.
    Tho horse, startled by the occurrence, ran a short distance circling toward the stables where she stopped.
    Mr. Toomey was 72 years old and took a great deal of pleasure in working with horses. He was proud ot the two-year-old fllly, Bandon Bell, and the progress she was making under his guidance. His companions on the track this morning say that he appeared to be in excellent spirits and taking his usual enjoyment in the work-out perlod. His death, while a shock to his many friends and relatives, came as Mr. Toomey had often expressed the wish that it might, while he was still able to enjoy his favorite recreation.
    Mr. Toomey was born in Dunkirk in October, 1859, the son of Daniel and Katherine Toomey. Except for two years when he was in South Dakota, he spent all his life in this city. His first business venture was with his brother, the late Daniel F. Toomey, with whom he conducted a flour and feed business at Main and Wright streets.
    Later, he conducted a livery business at East Fourth and Leopard streets, first with A. W. DeLand and then with Matthew Hollander as his associate. The livery business gave way to the taxi business at 74 East Fourth street which Mr. Toomey conducted up to the present time.
    He had a life-long interest In trotting horses, having owned and trained a number of them. He had been a race official at the Chautauqua County Fair for many years.
    Mr. Toomey was a member of St. Mary's church and of Holy Name society of that church. In 1902 he married Tyrella Sackett of Sheridan who survives him. Four children, Mrs. Lawrence Graser of Buffalo, Edward, Leonora and Tyrella Toomey, all of Dunkirk, and one grandchild, Patricia Graser, also survive.
    Funeral services will be held at the residence Friday morning at 8:15 and at 9 in St. Mary's church. Burial will be in St. Mary's cemetery.

    Worked in Movie Industry 42 Years — From Silent Films to Double Features
    If the big wheels of Hollywood should ever make Academy awards to some of the "little people" of the movie industry, Penn Yan will have a leading contender for an "Oscar" for long and faithful service.
    This man, who has lived with movies since their infancy—from the old nickelodeon days when slapstick comedy and tear-jerking "mellerdramers" were the feature one-reelers—is Nathaniel P. "Nat" Sackett of 327 Elm street, Penn Yan.
    Now the chief projectionist at the Elmwood theatre in Penn Yan, Nat started in the motion picture business in 1908 — and his main qualification was a fine singing voice and a knowledge of popular ballads of the day. It was at the old Theatorum on Main street (where the NYS Electric & Gas Corporation office is today) that Mr. Sackett was employed to fill in between reels with songs, while the ambidextrous projector operator rewound and changed reels.
    The songs were illustrated with colored slides and the audience was cajoled by young Nat to join in each chorus. Heart-throbbing accompaniment was provided on the piano by Miss Eunice Frame who also furnished the musical background for the silent films on the old stage upright piano.
    The Theatorum was owned by the Wickham brothers of Perry, and two years later when they opened a larger movie emporium on Elm street, Mr. Sackett went along. This building, located where Allen's lunchroom is now, was re-modelled from an old blacksmith shop to a motion picture house by simply lining the walls with ordinary building paper.
    By now, Nat had learned how to operate the crude projectors, wooden frame machines placed in stuffy booths where the loose film was left to coil in a basket until rewound. Also running movie projectors in Penn Yan at this time was a man who later became one of the key projectionists of the Schine chain in the eastern United States—Lewis M. Townsend. On many occasions, Mr. Townsend was manipulating the silent reels while Nat vocalized on the stage. Mr. Townsend died in Rochester on Oct. 16, 1950.
    Eager to step out in the movie business on his own, Nat purchased the Wickhams' interest in the two theatres, and introduced three acts of vaudeville between reels. The old Shearman house, where today the Elmwood theatre stands was the favourite stop-over for vaudevillians appearing in Penn Yan.
    Later, Nat was employed at the Cornwell theatre over the J. J. Newberry store, the Sampson theatre on East Elm street, and in 1923 started work at the Elmwood theatre owned by Harry Morse. Mr. Sackett has worked there ever since, continuing his work when the theatre was taken over by the Schine chain in November of 1937.
    In his 42 years in the business, Nat estimates he has run more than 75,000 miles of film through the projectors—including the old silent machines, the "synchronized sound" devices with phonograph records that frequently skipped their timing with ludicrous results for the audience, and today's modern arc-light sound-track-on-film machines.
    Aside from the wonderful progress in movie entertainment made possible through the introduction of sound, Nat believes the greatest single change since he began work in 1908 was the switch about 1920 from the one-reeler to the feature full-length picture. In one double-feature movie today, almost 20,000 feet of film will spin through the sprockets of the projectors in the Elmwood projection booth.
    The first sound movies in Penn Yan were introduced about 1927, and the opening picture with sound synchronization on the film was "Broadway Melody," Nat recalls.
    Nat's first wife, Anne Dewan, died in 1936. He remarried in October, 1937, to Eleanor Bolger, and they have two children, Natalie Anne, 11, and Leland, 10.
    "Movies are better than ever," Nat agrees, but even today it requires an alert operator to maintain the intricate projectors, switching from one reel to the subsequent one without a break, and keeping the arc lights at a determined brilliance—and doing it all so smoothly that the average movie-goer is completely unaware of what goes on in the little projection booth upstairs.

    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.

    Beverly “Bev” Sackett Hallett
    Beverly “Bev” Sackett Hallett was born Aug. 28, 1948, at Highland Hospital in Rochester, New York. Her beautiful life ended at the same location on July 24, 2023, at the age of 74, following complications from the cancer she fiercely battled on and off for nearly 12 years. She is survived by her devoted husband of 54 years, Michael; her children, Chad (Amy) and Carrie (Michael Paris); her grandchildren, Fisher, Will and Senna; her brother, Raymond Sackett (Donna); her sister, Sue Kretchmer; and many loving brothers- and sisters-in-law, cousins, and nieces and nephews on both the Sackett and Hallett sides of the family.
    She is predeceased by her parents, Herman and Mildred Sackett of South Lima, N.Y.; her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Wilton and Dorothy Hallett of Caledonia, N.Y.; and her brother-in-law, Jim Kretchmer of Conesus, N.Y.
    Bev graduated from Livonia Central School and started her career with the Rochester Telephone Company. Bev and Mike were married on June 14, 1969, and built their home on Dutch Hollow Road in Avon, N.Y., where they raised their children and became active members of their community.
    While their kids were young, Bev provided support and assistance to Mike and his trucking business. Later, she returned to working outside of the home and worked for XLM/Hon Industries; Essex Investments; and lastly, Bryant and Stratton, where she was a receptionist/friend of everyone who walked in the door. She retired in 2014, allowing more time for her passions.
    Bev was a devoted gardener, reader, and most importantly, a friend. She was always available for a call or visit, made connections easily and readily with everyone she met, and like her gardens, cherished and nurtured her life-long friendships. She enjoyed Friday-night suppers with her friends and family, as well as breakfast gatherings with the ladies of Dutch Hollow Road and former colleagues.
    A special thank you goes out to all our friends and neighbors who have been behind the scenes supporting the family. Additionally, we are extremely thankful to the medical teams that provided her with care and support during her nearly 12-year cancer battle: Dr. Balaji and the Avon Medical Group, UR Gynecologic Oncology (Lattimore), the Highland Hospital Infusion Center; and the staff at 5 East of Highland Hospital.
    A celebration of Bev’s beautiful life will take place on Friday, Aug. 4 at 11 a.m. at First Presbyterian Church of East Avon, 5605 East Avon-Lima Road, Avon, N.Y., with a reception following at Willow Creek, 3100 Rochester Rd., Lakeville, N.Y.
