  • Notes 
    • Bodie Standard, 5/22/1878 (Wednesday):

      Another Death. - Monday last Geo. W. Sackett died in this place of pneumonia, after an illness of only six days. Deceased was a native of Jackson county, Michigan and 29 years of age. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity of ?Marcellus?, Michigan, also a member of the Virginia City Miners’ Union. The remains were taken in charge by the Masonic Lodge of this place. He had only been in Bodie a few weeks and last worked in the Bechtel mine. He is said to have been an exemplary young man. His parents reside in California, to whom a dispatch announcing his sudden death was sent. The funeral takes place Wednesday at 1 ½ o’clock.

      *****
      Bodie Standard, 5/29/1878:

      The Funeral. - As announced in this paper the funeral of George W. Sackett took place Wednesday evening under the auspices of the Masons. They formed in line in front of Silas B. Smith's new store, and there were nearly forty in the procession. Quite a number of outsiders formed in line until there was a large crowd. Colonel Ferguson officiated at the grave, and in a few most excellent remarks, reminded the brethren that "in life we are in death." The ceremonies throughout were very impressive.

      The burying ground is located on a very fine knoll, half a mile southwest of the town, selected by the Masons, and it is probable the Odd Fellows will join them in laying it out.

      *****
      The Masonic Lodge adopted the following resolutions: (not transcribed here but indicates he left a "bereft widowed mother of deceased" and an "orphan child." The mother and child resided in San Jose, California.)
