OBITUARY.
Dr. Solon P. Sackett.
Dr. Solon Philo Sackett, the oldest physician of this city and one of the most widely known members of the medical profession in this part of the state, died here at his residence yesterday, of Bright’s disease. Dr. Sackett was born in 1818 and practiced medicine in this city for nearly thirty-seven years. He came of an old Colonial and Revolutionary family; one of his ancestors was among the earliest settlers of Rhode Island with Roger Williams; his grandfather, Major Buel Sackett, was an officer in the Revolutionary army and his father, Philo Sackett, saw active service in the war of 1812 as a captain of militia.
Dr. Sackett was born at the family homestead in Columbia county, near Lebanon Springs. He was graduated from the Geneva Medical College when that was among the foremost medical institutions of the country. After a few years of practice in a country village, he removed to Ithaca in 1857 and this city has since been his home. He was thoroughly devoted to his profession and soon took high rank among the physicians of central New York. As health officer of Ithaca, a position to which he was repeatedly chosen, he instituted and endorsed a sewage system that although incomplete because of inadequate public funds probably did much to make the place for a long time among the healthiest in the state. He was coroner for several terms and held the office of Secretary of the Tompkins County Medical Society for many years. Although he was a frequent contributor to the principal medical periodicals, the only separate work he ever published was a manual entitled “Mother, Nurse and Infant,” which obtained wide and high recognition. Deafness and advanced age had for several years prevented him from continuing active practice but until quite recently he was frequently consulted by other physicians in serious cases in this and neighboring cities. He leaves a widow, and four children – two unmarried daughters and two sons, Charles W. Sackett, of Addison, and Henry W. Sackett the New York lawyer.
