| Notes |
- of Hartford, Conn.
Frances Adelaide Sackett enjoys the distinction of being the first woman in America to serve as president of a veteran regimental organization. The Hartford Daily Times, in issue of Sept. 14, 1899, devotes considerable space to an account of annual reunion of the Eleventh Connecticut Veterans, from which we copy the following items:
Miss F. Adelaide Sackett of this city was unanimously elected president of the regimental association. This course was taken on the motion of General Horne. It was in reciginition of the fact that Miss Sackett's brother, Captain William H. Sackett, gave up his life for the Union cause at Petersburg. The election was most enthusiastic. Captain Quein spoke of the bravery of the captain, whom he considered one of the most heroic of Connecticut soldiers. He was glad that the sister of Captain Sackett had been elected president.
Miss Sackett, the new president of the association, has been identified with Grand Army work in this city since the inception of the order, and is widely known throughout the state on account of her identity with the Woman's Relief Corps. She is the past treasurer and president of Robert O. Tyler Corps and has held the office of Junior department president and department treasurer of the State, also aide on the staff of the National President. Miss Sackett is the receiving clerk in the office of the Hartford Street Railway Company, and possesses executive ability of a high order. The election came to her totally unexpected, and her effort to escape the office was overruled by unanimous vote of the old soldiers, who remembered her brother's courage and sacrifice on the field with the proudest comradeship.
The Times of Mar, 26, in a review of the Hartford Street Railway, says:
Miss F. Adelaide Sackett, who has been with the company for twenty-one years, is the senior attache of the office corps. She holds the position of chief receiving clerk, which involves the original custody of all moneys turned in by the conductors. Miss Sackett began her business career in the actuarial department of the Insurance Commissioner's office, receiving her appointment under the first commissioner, Dr. George S. Miller, now superintendent of agencies of Phoenix Mutual Life. Miss Sackett has a thorough knowledge of business and has met every duty in the positions which she has occupied with competency and success.
Her business qualifications have demonstrated in more instances than can be pointed out woman's fitness to engage in the active pursuits of life.
