Herbert graduated BA from Yale University in 1893. He settled in Buffalo and established a business there in the late 1890s as an electrical supplier and contractor. The business evidently prospered and was still operating at the time of his death in 1939.
In 1880 Herbert was living in GeneseoG in the household of his widowed mother Susan, and was recorded in the census as Herbert I Sackett, aged eight and born in New York.16

A record for Herbert in the 1900 census has not been found; he may have been involved in National Guard duties at the time.19
In 1905 Herbert was living at Brantford Place, BuffaloG, and was recorded in the census as Herbert I Sackett, an electrical supplier, head of household, aged 35. Living with him were his (second) wife Lillian, 26, son Russell, 8, and mother Susan, 72.20

His electrical business was well established by the turn of the century. His son Russell joined the business by 1922, first as a purchasing agent, later becoming vice president. Herbert's fourth wife, Vera, was also involved in the business as a designer by that date, and was a departmental manager and vice president by 1928. Russell's wife, Louise, was vice president of the company by 1932.25

All of his wives died untimely deaths: Lillian Huck aged 25; Lillian Stevens at 37; Florence at 58; Vera at 49; Marion at 42; and finally his sixth wife Kathleen, aged about 41 when she and Herbert were killed along with their three-year-old daughter Susan.

Three Residents of Buffalo Killed as Train Strikes Car
Buffalo, N.Y., Jan. 3—A Buffalo business executive, his wife and small daughter, lost their lives last night in the first grade crossing tragedy of the New Year in this section.
The dead: Herbert I. Sackett, 67, president of the Sackett Electric Co., and prominent Mason. Mrs. Kathleen Erwin Sackett, 41. Susan Barbara Sackett, 2½.
All were killed instantly as the Sackett auto was struck by a Lehigh Valley passenger train on the Chestnut Ridge Road crossing, 1½ miles north of Sheridan Drive in the Town of Amherst.
The accident happened at 6:25 o'clock as the Sacketts were returning to their home in Chestnut Ridge Road near Sweet Home Road after visiting in Snyder.
Members of the train crew said Mr. Sackett apparently lost control of his auto as it skidded at the crossing. The auto, they reported, swung on the tracks and its gleaming headlights were headed directly toward the train at the time of impact.
