We copied this death notice from microfilm at the
Historical Society of Pennsylvania Library in
Philadelphia in September, 2004. We also copied
cemetery records from microfilm at the Historical
Society of Pennsylvania Library in Philadelphia in
April, 2004; and we visited Laurel Hill Cemetery in
September, 2004 where the very helpful staff copied
cemetery records stored in their vault for us.
Also buried in his plot were: Mary A Hackett (buried
1899), his second wife; Lester W Hackett (buried 1932);
Isaac W (buried 1909) and his wife Ella (buried 1930);
and Elmer (buried 1961) and his wife Harriet E (buried
1960). Isaac was a son of John Hackett, and Lester and
Elmer were sons of Isaac. There is a headstone for John
and Mary on their gravesite in South Laurel Hill Cemetery.
The 1880 Philadelphia City Directory by Gopsill's lists
John Hackett gluemaker, house 267 E Cumberland. The 1880
census also lists John as a glue manufacturer with his wife
Mary A and a servant from Ireland at the same address.
Mary A Hackett appears to have been his second wife.
This address is located just one block from the address
which was listed for his son Isaac Hackett.
His death was also listed on FHL 1003711 p 258.
Marriage listed in the church records for the First
