Mrs Eliza Sackett, nee Rennick, was born April 7, 1835, in county Fermanaugh in Ireland and came to America on a sailboat when she was only six years old. The trip across the waters consumed about six months, for in those days water transportation was extremely slow. Mrs. Sackett was one of a family of thirteen children.
On Nov. 19, 1857, the then Miss Rennick was united in marriage to Reuben Sackett at Galena, Illinois, and with her husband in the year 1862 moved to Clinton to make this town their home. For the following fifty six years Mrs. Sackett had made the family residence at 212 East Washington Street her only home.

Golze, Rosie is the wife of Ellis Day, and Sadie is the widow of the late E. A. Frederickson. For many years Mrs. Sackett made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Golze. The children who have died were Nettie, Anna, Ida, Flora, Francis R. and William He Mrs. Jennie Taylor, 1004 East Main Street, a sister, is the only surviving member of Mrs. Sacketts family.
During her entire lifetime Mrs. Sackett had been a staunch supporter of the Methodist Episcopal church and was exceedingly active in the church circles. Both she and her late husband were active in the building of the present structure. Several days previous to her illness she was hostess to the Woman's Home Missionary society, of which she was a member. She was always considerate of other persons' feelings and was unusually kind and of a consoling disposition, She had acquired a host of friends in this community who will keenly feel her 1055. By deed and action she was a friend of all and it was her pleasure to speak naught but good of all.
The funeral services will be held at 10:30 o'clock Thursday morning from the Methodist church with the pastor Rev. A.M. Wells, officiating. Burial will be made in Woodlawn cemetery. Two grandchildren, Miss Marie Golze and Mrs R. H. Foard also survive.
