Transcription of the obituary of Mrs. Herman B. Hackett, which appeared in the Park Rapids Enterprise, 5 August 1926.

Mrs. H.B. Hackett Dies Wednesday
Faithful Wife and Mother Called to Rest Yesterday After Short Illness

Mrs. H.B. Hackett died at her home in Park Rapids Wednesday at the age of sixty-three years. Death came after but a few days confinement, altho for several months it has been known that her health was being gradually taken from her. Until last Friday she was able to be up and about the home, ever mindful of the duties of the Home and needs of those about her.

On Friday evening sharp turn toward critical conditions took place, and distant relatives were notified and the children asked to come home.

Mr. and Mrs. H.B. Hackett and children came to Hubbard county twenty-four years ago from Wisconsin, locating on a farm in Straight River township. They lived there until about fifteen years ago, when they moved into town to give their children the advantage of better schooling, and have ever since made their home here.

There were seven children in the family including two sets of twins. All the children are living, and have grown to maturity and are taking their places in the social and business affairs of life.

The children are Mrs. Herb Day, of Straight River, Mrs. Fred Wheaton of Nevis, Glen Hackett of Akeley, Miss Alice Hackett of Park Rapids, Allen Hackett of Tulsa, Okla., Mrs. Hans Anderson of Culbertson, Mont., and Miss LaMae Hackett of Park Rapids.

All of the children are home, to share with each other in the sad loss that each must feel, and help to bear the sorrow that follows the departure of a good Christian mother from the home.

The funeral will be held from the residence Firday at 10 o’clock a.m.
