Traer Star Clipper, Friday, December 5th, 1941 – page 1
Mrs. Lena Sackett, widow of William Sackett and a resident of the Traer and Dysart communities for more than seventy years, died Tuesday at the home of her only daughter, Mrs. Chris Hoeppner, in Traer, after a long illness. She was a victim of cancer, for which she underwent an operation about two years ago but was bedfast only about five days before her death. She was 76 years old. Rites will be held this Friday at 2 p. m. at the Diers Funeral Home in Traer with the Rev. C. G. McKnight, local United Presbyterian pastor, officiating. Miss Jean Henry will sing with accompaniment by Mrs. L. R. Diers. Pall bearers will be Will Wilson and Will Hansen, of Vinton; James Wilson and Peter Untiedt, of Dysart; and Otto Hansen and Theodora Hansen, of Clutier, all of whom are nephews of the decedent by marriage. Mrs. Donald Dunlavey and Mrs. Lucy Erickson will care for the flowers. Burial will be in Buckingham cemetery.
Mrs. Sackett was one of twelve children of Carsten and Dorothea Hansen and was born November 24, 1865, near Davenport, Iowa. The family moved near Dysart when she was 3 years old, and the decedent always lived on farms in the Dysart and Traer communities until she retired with her husband to Traer. Her marriage to John William Sackett took place September 6, 1883, at Toledo. Three children were born to the couple—Frank, of Phoenix, Arizona; Elizabeth, wife of Chris Hoeppner, of Traer; and Minnie, Mrs. Lewis Peters of the Geneseo community, who died suddenly March 9, 1940. Mr. Sackett died in the fall of 1937 after a long illness. Mrs. Sackett had made her home with the Hoeppners since April of this year.
Besides the son and daughter already mentioned, Mrs. Sackett is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Mathilde Eggers, of White Rock, South Dakota, and Mrs. Anna Petersen, of Gorham, North Dakota. There are also six grandchildren and three great grandchildren. The decedent had been forced to walk with a crutch after suffering a hip fracture about fifteen years ago, and for many years had been forced to depend upon artificial hearing aids. Yet she bore her many trials with courage and good cheer and held the high respect of the community.
She was a member of the Evangelical church, having united, as did all her brothers and sisters, with a group of that denomination which held services in a rural school building south of Dysart many years ago. Jack Hoeppner, a grandson, will come here today from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where he is in army service. Frank Sackett, who was forced to move from Traer to Arizona only a few months ago for the benefit of his health, will not return for the funeral.
