  • Notes 
    • I met with Fred & Polly in their home in Kalamazoo in Sept 1998. They shared with me copies of their history which is where the majority of the information in their line of the Sackett tree came from. They were very pleasant people with interesting stories. Fred is quite interested in the family history and whenever he travels, he looks in the telephone book for Sackett's and gives them a call!
      ------
      He was born November 27, 1919, at Sand Creek, Montana where he lived until six years old. Herbert, Lavern and mother, Bessie, went to Kalamazoo early in the fall of 1925. Herbert was enrolled at Vine Street School and lived with his mother's brother, E.B. Olmstead. He rejoined the family after their return from Montana in the spring of 1926. They lived on Jackson Street, later moving to Alamo Avenue where they lived until 1940. Herbert was in business with Frank from 1937 to 1941, going from farm to farm grinding feed with a portable hammermill. Herb worked for Montgomery Ward as shipping-receiving clerk, making $15.00 a week. After getting married, moved to the family farm near Gobles and lived there for ten years. Herb worked for Kalamazoo Rendering Works as a fireman, for a contractor as a carpenter, plumber and electrician and for a builder as a brick tender. In 1949, he went to work for Thayer Brick Company learning the business and finally coming to operate the company. This educated him for his first.business venture. In 1962, he established a building materials supply store, "Sackett Brick". By the year of 1980, gross sales had reached almost two million dollars. He and Polly feel the success of the business is directly due to the fact that they dedicated it to the Lord before they opened the doors. At the end of 1981, Herb semi-retired, leaving son Michael in command. [Andrew P. Sackett, p. 127]

      She was born June 4, 1909, at Bradley, Mich., to Fred and Bessie Maude Olmstead Sackett. Her parents established a homestead at Wolf Point, where they lived until two years of drought forced them to move back to Michigan in 1925.

      She and her brothers and sisters stayed to sell remaining cattle and household possessions before returning to Michigan in 1926. While in Michigan, she worked at a paper mill and box factory and later trained as a meat cutter.

      The couple returned to Michigan from 1958-1962 and later moved to Santee, Calif., to be close to her two daughters. She returned to Kalispell in 1977 and had resided there since.

      Mrs. LaRoque was a member of the Community Alliance Church.

      Survivors include a son, Keith L. McNeil, Corvallis; three daughters, Joyce E. Pyles, Union, Ore.; Donna M. Rail, Grass Valley, Calif.; and Carol Williams, Kalispell; three brothers, Herbert and Dick Sackett, both of Kalamazoo, Mich.; and Bernard LaRoque Sackett, Stevensville, Mich.; two sisters, Jean Hewitt, Allegan, Mich.; and Vivian Heineman, Oroville, Calif.; 10 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
