Notes

Elisha Sackett was the youngest of four children, and was born the year his father died. Widow Sackett, a short time after the death of her husband, removed with her four young children to New York City. She owned a house at the corner of Chambers Street and West Broadway, with a garden, and a pasture lot adjoining on which she kept a cow. There is some uncertainty as to whether she inherited this property from her husband or her father. It is a matter of record that her daughter (1710) Margaret, not yet quite sixteen years of age, was married there June 6, 1790, Truman Merchant, aged 26. Previous to 1812 this property seems to have come into possession of her youngest child, Elisha, the subject of this sketch, who at his death in 1839 was survived by nine children.

OUR NEXT CO. TREASURER

Something of Interest Concerning Concerning Frank E. Sackett.

THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE

He Possesses All of the Qualifications Which Entitle Him to Hold the Office--His Able Business Career.

There is no reason in the world why every resident of the county should not vote for the Democratic nominee for county treasurer. On the other hand there is every reason why each voter of Chemung county should cast their ballot for him. Frank E. Sackett, the man whom the Democrats of this county have selected for this office, possesses every qualification which should fit a man for just such an office. He is a thorough business man and has been allied with the business interests of this county all his life. He is quiet, unassuming and strictly business, and has a most complete knowledge of business methods and how financial matters matters should be conducted. If he is elected to the office of county treasurer--and every indication points to the fact that he will be the successful candidate--the taxpayers of the county may rest perfectly contented that the finances will be cared for in the best possible manner. Mr. Sackett at the present time holds the responsible position of note clerk at the Chemung Canal bank, which institution conducts one of the largest banking businesses in the state. For twenty-seven years he has been connected with the banking business and for that reason has a most complete business knowledge of financial matters end complicated financial accounts. Mr. Sackett has lived in Elmira all his life and his excellent reputation is too well known to every Elmiran to need discussion. It was on July 22, 1855, that Mr. Sackett was born--it also being the fame year that Democratic nominee for governor was born--and they will go into office together. The Democratic nominee for treasurer's birthplace was at No. 2S East Water street in what was then the old Fourth ward. He is a descendant of one of the very oldest families in the county and comes from a family whose sterling worth has always been a matter of Chemung county history. Elisha Sackett, grandfather of the Democratic Democratic nominee, came to Elmira about 1825. He was a builder and at that time the present city of Elmira was known as Newtown. He moved here from Spencer and before that time had live in New York. He was associated with Major Riker in the building business and in 1812 was called to Buffalo to build the first frame building In that city. Mr. Saekett's father was Caleb W. Sackett, who in 1855 conducted a bakery business at the corner of Lane and Carroll streets, the present location of Bundy's grocery.

His death occurred about thirty-three years ago. Mr. Sackett, the Democratic candidate for treasurer, received received his preliminary education in the public schools of this city. He attended both the Sullivan street and William street schools.

On January 13, 1872, he entered the employ of the Pittston and Elvira Coal company, and remained with them just one year, lacking a few days. In 1873 he resigned that position to enter the Second National bank and remained with that institution until about the time of the big flood of 1859. In June of that year he accepted a lucrative position with the Chemung Canal bank and ever since that time has been one of their valuable attaches.

Mr. Sackett is a prominent member of the Royal Arcanum, being a member of Chemung council, No. 208, of this city. He is prominent socially as well as in business circles and particularly happy In his home life. He was married twenty-two years ago and with his wife and daughter resides (sic) in their pretty home at No. 612 Maple avenue. Last spring the residents of the Eleventh ward showed their appreciation and confidence in the Democratic nominee for treasurer by electing him alderman, and his excellent record n the common council shows how well he has justified their selection. When a young man Mr. Sackett was a member of the Elmira volunteer fire department and served efficiently as a member of company No. 2, being at that time but nineteen years of age. Members of the department department remember well his popularity in the company. Mr. Sackett has always been alive to the interests of the city and has assisted In more than one enterprise. He has always been one of the enthusiastic of the local base ball "fans" and has year after year aided liberally in maintaining every team Elmira has put in the field. He was such an earnest supporter that the members of one team took his name and called themselves Sackett's pets. Mr. Sackett takes much interest in all athletic sports and out door (sic) exercises and in his younger days was himself himself a good base ball (sic) player. He is well known and very popular with all classes alike and any one who knows him can not (sic) fail to like him. With his genial and pleasant ways he makes friends wherever he goes. There is rot the slightest suspicion of a point that could ever be raised in opposition to Mr. Sackett's candidacy and the election to the office of county treasurer would be but a just honor. He is a gentleman and thorough good fellow and adds material strength to the strong county ticket. Sackett, Lynch, Weeks, Green and Colegrove make a quintette (sic) that is hard to equal and with the Hon. John B. Standfield to head the ticket should carry the county with a handsome majority.
