OBITUARY

Elizabeth R. Robinson was born at Northampton, Summit County, Ohio, May 23, 1846 and died at her home in Haigler, Nebraska, May 8, 1923, aged 76 years, 11 months and 15 days She was married to James Sackett at Matteson, Michigan, November 2, 1865 and lived on the Sackett farm in Batavia township, Michigan. Here seven sons were born to them, Lewis, Thad, James, Calvin, Matt G., Frank Edward, Abram Carl, Milton Dell and Henry Clay. All of the sons survive their mother except one, Matt G. A brother Mr. Lew Robinson of Lebanon, Nebraska, and a sister, Miss Fannie Robinson of Omaha, also survive their sister. Mr. Sackett passed away at the Soldiers Home at Grand Rapids, Michigan, February 19, 1923.

In 1890, Mrs. Sackett came with her children to a homestead seven mile south of Haigler, in Cheyenne county, Kansas, Mr. Sackett having preceded the family to the west a year before. Here they resided until 1902, when they moved into their present home in Haigler.

Early in life Mrs. Sackett professed faith in Christ as her Saviqr and united with the Baptist church. Twenty-one years ago she united with the Methodist church in Haigler and always took an active interest in the work of the church in this community. For many years she taught the young women's bible class in the Sunday School, and there are many who are mothers today who received from her lips and life the teachings of Word during the formative years of their young womanhood. She leaves a wide circle of friends who mourn her passing.

The funeral services were held in the Methodist church on Thursday of last week, conducted by the pastor who was assisted by Olin Wood, who preached the sermon in compliance with a request made by Mrs. Sackett some years ago. Burial was in the Haigler cemetery.

[Notes: Northampton was one of the 16 original townships in Summit County, Ohio. In 1986, Northampton Township merged with the city of Cuyahoga Falls.]
