Lyman E. Brackett
Lyman E. BRACKETT, 73, former resident of Rochester, died Monday of a heart attack sustained at his home, 2028 Southwest Sixth street, Miami, Fla.
Mr. Brackett, who had resided in Florida since 1956, was rushed to Jackson Memorial hospital in Miami but was dead on arrival there. He had not been ill and his death was unexpected.
Services will be in Miami and cremation will follow. Brief rites will be held here later in the week before interment in the I.O.O.F. cemetery. The Zimmerman Brothers funeral home will be in charge. The family requests that donations other than flowers be made to the heart fund.
Mr. Brackett was the third generation of one of Rochester's most prominent pioneer families. His grandfather, Dr. Charles BRACKETT, came to this city from Vermont in 1848 and distinguished himself as a surgion for Indiana and Illinois cavalry regiments in the Civil War, dying in the midst of that conflict in 1863.
His father, Lyman M. BRACKETT, was a leading merchant in the city, operating a lumber business and later the Progress Wholesale Grocery company in the building now occupied by Topps Manufacturing company.
Lyman M. Brackett and A. J. BARRETT constructed the Arlington block on the east side of Main street in 1890, Mr. Brackett owning the south half which consisted of four business rooms, 14 apartments and a large K. of P. lodge meeting hall. The Brackett family home was at the northeast corner of Fulton and Ninth streets.
Lyman Ely BRACKETT was born Oct. 19, 1892, in Rochester, the son of Lyman M. and Sarah MERRIAM BRACKETT. His mother was a native of Brandon, Vt. He lived in this city 60 years and was married to Arwesta PERSONETTE, of Argos, who survives.
Also surviving are a son, Richard [BRACKETT], Harlingen, Texas; two grandchildren and cousins, Don PLANK, Sr., Mrs. Scott BOWEN, Mrs. Charles PYLE and Mrs. Lucille LEONARD, all of Rochester.
Preceding in death were a brother, Charles [BRACKETT], and a sister, Mrs. Maurice (Zoa) SHELTON.
Mr. Brackett attended Rochester high school, where he was a basketball star, and also attended the University of Notre Dame, Indiana university and Chicago business college.
He entered his father's wholesale grocery business and after it ceased operation he moved to the West, being associated in asbestos mining in Glove, Ariz., and later in real estate at San Diego, Cal.
Returning to this city, he assumed management of the Brackett half of the Arlington block. When it was destroyed by fire Jan. 24, 1956, he sold the property and moved to Miami, where he acquired and managed two apartment buildings on the city's west side.
A lifelong enthusiast of water sports, he was an accomplished sailor and competed in races at Lake Manitou and Lake Maxinkuckee. The family owned a cottage on the east shore of Manitou many years.
In Miami, he owned both power and sail boats, often residing aboard the craft and taking ocean cruises.
