      Biography of Cassius M. Sackett with mention of some others

      According to the records in the Good Book, Cassius Morrell Sackett was
      born in Panama, Chataugua County, New York, in November 6th, 1854 and
      lived there until August 6th, 1862 when brought West to Chatfield,
      Minnesota, with the family that left there; my brother William and
      sister Mary having left there in 1857 with uncle N. B. Sackett, who
      drove a lot of oxen on a wagon, and two cows yoked to a two-seated
      buggy, and although once in a while, when tired, would get in and ride
      for a ways, practically walked the whole way to Fondalac, Wisconsin.
      When the cattle, being tired and sore foot, uncle rented a farm there
      for one year, and William and Mary came on to Chatfield, and not finding
      anything to do here, he and four other men started a-foot for Austin,
      Minnesota. People did more walking then than they do now.

      When they got to Fillmore the people were just building a new log school
      house and William let it be known that he was a teacher so they hired
      him to help build the school house and teach. That same winter sister
      Mary taught at Forestville - the first school they had in Forestville.

      Father would not think of bringing his wife and children out here where
      every little patch of timber was full of bears and Indians, so he came
      out to see about it for himself in April, 1862.

      My brother James got timber and boxes to pack everything in that we were
      to bring, and Uncle Eaf (Ephrium) Nash was to take them to Dunkirk for
      we could get a ticket cheaper at a large city than at a small town near
      home.

      That day my sister Marion and Albert Corne were married in the M.E.
      Church and left at once for Cora, Penn., 112 miles South in the oil
      region where he was employed as a tight barrell cooper, a tight barrell
      cooper is one who makes oil and pork barrels, while a loose cooper make
      flour and butter tubs.

      Well, there is 3 little incidents I wish to tell you about before we
      leave old Panama; 1st, in the spring, Father, James, Charles and myself
      went fishing over at Lake Chataugua and father fixed up an outfit and
      before long I got a bite, and not only a bite--a pull--for that fish was
      pulling me into the water, and Charles came and pulled it out -- the
      biggest fish ever caught in that lake and I know it, that is, I know it
      now but I didn't then, and it is needless to say that mother and all my
      playmates found out all about that fish as soon as I got home.

      Second - after Marion was married and gone we started to walk to Uncle
      Eaf's and as we came to his land we crawled under the fence and went
      through his timber-pastures, and I can see those bushes yet, loaded down
      with large blackberries; well, we ate all we wanted and then Mother and
      Cynthia filled their aprons, so Aunt Louise fixed us a good dish for
      supper, and right here let me state that she is the one that gave me my
      name and also a dress which we called my dollar dress, it was red and
      had a light figure something like a silver dollar, and mother kept it
      until one time my brother's wife and little girl was up from Lansboro
      and the little girl got out the dress and put it on, and it just fit so
      she kept it on.

      End of Page 1
      (Page 2)

      Third, John Steward, a merchant of Panama bought some lamps, the first
      ever seen in town and one still night, when there wasn't any wind, a man
      came in the store and bought one of the lamps and lit it, and carried it
      home that way and as he passed along the street all the roosters began
      to crow, they thought the sun was coming up. Well, good-bye old Panama
      until we meet again.

      Well, the next day Uncle took us to Dunkirk, and we took the train for
      the wild and wooly West, all went well until we got to Cleveland where
      we had to take a bus across the city to another depot, and the same at
      Chicago and Milwaukee, from there we came to Sax and mother was
      wondering how long we would have to wait for our goods to get to Winona,
      to judge her surprise when we went aboard the boat and she found her
      goods already on the boat. Well, we got to Winona just at day break -
      while waiting at Sax someone dug up some fish lines and went fishing off
      the boat. One man caught a very large fish and of course there had to be
      one "old grouch" on board and she said, "Yes, you can talk about your
      big fish, but I have read so much in the papers about the wonderful
      praries and what good crops they raise in Minnesota and, pointing to a
      very steep and bare bluff she said, "What can they raise up there?" and
      the fisherman answered "Hell".

      Reaching Winona, we all went to the "Huff House" for breakfast, then all
      aboard for Chatfield. Well, Mother had heard so much about the terrible
      "Stockton Bluff" that she told the driver when he got there to stop and
      let her out for she wasn't going to ride over those bluffs. A man went
      ahead horse back to find the way across the slew, for Winona at that
      time was just an island for the lake was a great deal larger than now.
      Well, when we were starting down that hill the driver said, "Now,
      Mother, if you want to walk, hop out", and he gave his whip a crack and
      the four horses went down the hill on a dead run. At the foot of the
      hill we came to a Transfer Barn. One man came out with 4 horses and
      another man unhooked our horses, so we all got out and most of us had to
      wet our whistles, and in a few minutes were on our way to the tea
      tavern, which was 2 1/2 miles northeast of Troy and the same rigarmorole
      was gone through with as at Stockton, including wetting whistles, then
      off for Chatfield, down the hill where L. Lumbard's house is round back
      of M.E. Church, came down 2 blocks past Goops store and plow shop, up
      Maine Street to Medary House. The first place we lived in was a small
      frame house where Frank Touhy's house is now. Mrs. Atkinson lived in the
      back part of the next house and kept store in the front part, and my
      sister taught school up stairs. Mother had not seen her brother,
      "Webster Nash" since 1857, when he came West and located near
      Forestville, so that winter Father got a team and we all -- Father,
      Mother, Cynthia, James, Charles and myself -- went to see them. There
      wasn't any roads at that time. We came to a claim shanty some 6 miles
      south of town so stopped there to get warm, it was half-log roof shanty,
      no more than 12 x 14, with cook stove, bed, table and 3-legged stools.
      After leaving there we drove quite a while until we came to another
      shanty, so stopped to get warm again. After driving quite a while we
      came to another shanty so James said he was going to get out and find
      out where we were, and Father said, "Why, that's the same shanty we
      stopped at before," and sure enough we had made a circle on the smooth
      prairie. About a mile further we struck the road to Forestville, and
      then made good time to Uncle's at which place we all

      End of Page 2
      (Page 3)

      had a good time. Meal-times the older ones sat down at the table and we
      children all stood up -- Bed time the boys went out and brought in some
      clean straw which we spread on the floor upstairs, and with blankets and
      quilts we all 'bunked' down together. It was fun to hear Aunt Melissa
      jaw old Uncle Webb. Her tongue was sure hung in the middle and loose at
      both ends.

      I left home in the spring before I was 17 and went to Winona, got work
      driving team for Laird and Norton Saw Mill Company and drove all summer,
      then started driving for an express and in the next spring pulled out
      for a smaller town. I thought I would try Rushford so came by Chatfield
      and while there went to a dance at the Lower Mill, and got acquainted
      with a girl. The more I danced with her the more I wanted to. The dance
      broke up and she went her way and I mine. The next day I started for
      Rushford. I got a job driving stage 32 miles to the Iowa line, at
      Eliota, then I hear Mr. Smith, a merchant, wanted a man so I started
      working for him and stayed there over a year. I couldn't forget that
      girl I met at the dance over a year before so when I got back to
      Chatfield I made it a point to try and renew the acquaintance. I took
      her to the dance on the 4th of July at White's Holland; on August 14,
      1877 Ida Alice Batterson and C.M. Sackett were married at the M.E.
      Church at Rochester by Rev. Rice and his son is a minister there at the
      present time, and if I am not mistaken Metta, Doris, and Esther were
      married in the same house by different ministers.

      Well, this is the narrative up to the time my wife and I started to keep
      house and raise a family of 4 boys and 5 girls, all of who, except one
      boy who died in infancy, and Earl, a noble boy who was not destined long
      for this earthly life, and his mother, are living. All the other
      children are married and married well. As brother Charles once said --
      "There isn't a man in these parts with a more honorable up-right bunch
      of sons-in-law than I have. Well, I am glad to state I think my two
      daughter's-in-law are good hearted, smart, and intelectual girls.

      Now I think it would make the tree of the Sackett Clan look better, more
      inviting to talk about if I would trim up the branches and limbs.
      Therefore, we will start way down on the lower branches, or in other
      words way back to the early days.

      Grandfather Sackett was from England. Two brothers came over and being
      of the Quaker belief, one located in Pennsylvania and the other at a
      place called Sackett's Harbor, and married a girl from Scotland named
      Elizabeth Grey, a sister to Billy Grey, the richest man at the time in
      Boston, and who since became a millionaire. They moved from there to
      Franklin Township, where their three boys were born, named Aron Ezekial,
      William Webster, and Nathaniel Baldwin, all very short and pretty names,
      whether the boys were or not.

      My Father left home when very young and went to riding horses on the toe
      path of the Earie Canal along with 2 Nash boys, who afterwards became
      his brother-in-laws.

      That fall the first horse died where Webb Nash boarded, so he took the
      hide off, made a small trunk, and stretched the hide on it, and I have
      the trunk -- 107 years old.

      End of Page 3
      (Page 4)

      After navigation was closed on the canal Father got a place in a theater
      as sort of a chore boy, but soon commenced playing and played in the old
      Dewey theater of Buffalo for 2 years, then went to learn the blacksmith
      trade, so went to Panama and opened up 2 shops, one for iron work and
      one for wood, on the banks of the creek as it came from Buttons Mill at
      the foot of Rice Hill.

      Grandfather Nash was from England, too; came to Onadago County and
      married an Irish girl named Elizabeth McGauglin, who was born and raised
      in the old bogs until she came to this country with her brother. They
      later moved west to Panama, and the 3 boys, Efriham, George and Mager
      bought land, and 1 girl married a farmer and Mager passed away a young
      man, Webster located in town as a stone mason.

      It was then that Polly Ann Nash and William W. Sackett were married in
      the M.E. Church of which both were members; but finally strayed away and
      far away but Mother remained true to the faith through life and passed
      away at my home at the age of 86. It was there that my brothers and
      sisters were born (in Panama) and my little sister Martha and brother
      Frank (infants) were buried.

      Well, I might write considerable more but I think this will be enough
      for 2 or 3 generations and if there is any more put-ins their
      appearances, perhaps we will scribble off some more.

      With a few more lines I bid you all good-bye, well not good bye, we will
      never say good-bye for we will keep on passing along as they have in the
      past, are at the presnet time, and will in the future, one dropping off
      here, another there, so in a few short years, we who are enjoying God's
      wonderful blessings today will have passed and gone, but we will meet
      again, as sure as the sun rose this morning and will set tonight, we
      will meet again if we live right in the world, which I have tried to do.

      And, closing, will say I fail to find in looking over the past where
      anyone by the name of Sackett has reached any great height in the
      financial or political world, all seem to have passed along the common
      and honorable pathway of life, I say honorable for I fail to find
      anywhere there has been a warrant issued against any of them, for
      violating any of the State or National laws and I am more than pleased
      to realize that I have tramped this celestial globe for nearly 77 years
      under the name of SACKETT
