1195. James Earl Sackett (Frederick Plummer , Joel Bascom , Charles , Aaron , Josiah Crego , Richard , Jonathan , John , John ) was born 1 on 31 Mar 1868 in Gobles, VanBuren Co., MI. He died on 6 Dec 1920 in Santa Barbara, CA. He was buried on 13 Dec 1920 in Mabton, WA.
When he was seventeen he went to work for a man who lived on the other side of Gobles by the name of Van Winkle. This farmer was a Christian man who had been a minister. Earl was paid fifteen dollars a month for this work. ... He went to church with the Van Winkles. He had never before attended Sunday School or church or heard anyone pray. ... He had been converted in a revival at the Methodist Church before going up north and now he was class leader at the Woodinville Methodist Church. He was, on one occasion, asked to deliver the sermon. He asked about how to prepare for such an undertaking. At that time the use of prepared sermons was deemed unnecessary, the idea being that when the preacher stood up the Lord would inspire him and put words in his mouth. Earl was advised to follow this technique. In the case of professional ministers, of course, previous conditioning and experience had something to do with making this method workable but in Earl's case the method failed. After saying the opening prayer and reading the scripture for a few versus, he stopped and waited for the words to come. After a few minutes of agonized waiting it became apparent to all that they were not coming; so he hurriedly concluded the service. In later years he said, "It was unquestionably the shortest formal church service on record".
In 1908, he was injured when a horse, "Darline", fell and rolled on him when they were going through a wire gate on the side hill. ... Earl was not seriously injured at the time but some time thereafter noted a new growth the size of a hickory nut on a rib on the right side of his chest. He saw Doctor Goss in Marcus who called it a cartilage growth. In 1914, he attempted to chip it off. He found it to be filled with ajelly-like substance and not of the consistency which he had expected. (Some time before this attempt at removal Earl had been in Spokane to buy a new threshing machine. While there he went to see a doctor who told him the lesion was malignant and who advised excision. Earl, however, had faith in Doctor Goss' diagnosis and felt that the Spokane doctor was just drumming up business; so he went back and had Doctor Goss attempt local removal...). ... The next spring, 1915, ... the tumor had increased in size rapidly after the abortive attempt at surgery. Doctor Goss ... [said] that in his opinion the tumor was malignant and that he wouldn't consider doing another operation himself but suggest that Earl go to the Mayo Clinic. ... Earl did go to the Mayo Clinic where a wide resection of the tumor was done. This operation unexpectedly had to be a two stage one because his heart stopped beating in the middle of the operation and was revived only with difficulty. On the third day the remainder of the procedure was carried out. After recovering Earl went to Michigan to see his mother and to convalesce and then returned to Washington. - [A. P. Sackett; pgs 95-104]
Between 1916 and 1920 there were other unsuccessful attempts at removing the cancer and Earl died on December 6, 1920 in Santa Barbara, CA., about twenty-four hours after the last operation. - [T. King]
"I suppose the above recital of the lives of Nettie and Earl Sackett will strike most readers as a pretty grim set of experiences. Actually it wasn't quite that way according to several contemporaries with whom I talked. They all said that Nettie and Earl enjoyed life and had a lot of fun--at least until the end. Earl lived his life with considerable zest and thought himself to be pretty well off. Their lives were not atypical of most country people at that time and were a far cry from the "orderly lives of quiet desperation" one hears about today. Earl had musical talent and was an accomplished fiddler. He played violin regularly for community dances and social events. In a way there was a great deal more in the way of a shared community life then than there is in most communities today. And their children had a very rich experience, a life of high adventure so to speak compared to children growing up in urban settings or even in suburbia now." - [Andrew P. Sackett; page 104]
