Obituary of Mrs. Mercy Sacket
Died at the residence of her son, Zavan Sacket, in Wayne, Ohio, March 26th, 1888, Mrs.Mercy Sacket, at the advanced age of 94 years and 23 days.
"Mr. Editor, I cannot refrain from asking of you the privilege of occupying a little space in the crowded columns of your paper, to write as briefly as I can, some things in memory of the long and useful life of this esteemed Christian friend. She was a dear good aunt and in the long ago she lived in this neighborhood and was married by Justin Dewey, Esq. to Isaac Sacket, her second husband, a brother of Rolin Sacket, Zavan Sacket, James Sacket, Joseph Sacket and my father, Jabez B. Sacket. As intimated, at the time of this last marriage she was a widow and had one daughter, whose name was Laura Butterfield, respected and beloved by all who knew her. From here the family moved into Ohio and resided for some time in Orwell, and then moved to Wayne township and there she has lived for the last 40 years. Her husband died March 29th 1869, aged 86. By this marriage she had two sons and one daughter. Zavan, the oldest, lives on the homestead, is married, with children around him. Isaac, the second son, was killed at the battle of Bull Run; and Coralin is the wife of J.W. Covert, a well-to-do farmer, residing in Orwell, Ohio.
"At the age of 20 this cherished friend was hopefully brought into the fold and family of Christ, and every day since that happy change, she exemplified the religion of Jesus by her devoted faithfulness in his service. She had been a member of the Methodist Church for 74 years, and truly it may be said that in death her children have lost a precious mother, and her connections a true friend, and that a mother in Israel has fallen to sleep. E.B.R.S. Mead, May 25th, 1888."
—Meadville Early Tribune Republican, 30 May 188814
