Mrs. Hackett was born in Glengarry, Ontario in 1825, was married to her deceased husband in 1857. A family of four sons and two daughters were born to them, they are; Mrs. F. Cordick, Tara; Miss Jennie at home; Alfred, Wiarton; William Goderich; Alexander, Mt. Forest, and Angus of Port Huron, Mich. Mrs. Hackett with her devoted daughter, Miss Jennie Hackett, came to Preston five years ago and have since conducted a most successful millinery business here making many firm friends in both social and business circles. Deceased lady was a faithful member of the Presbyterian church for many years. Since sympathy is expressed for her daughter Miss Hackett and the family.
