George F Brackett ( Sequim Press issue of 7 Feb 1930 )
George F Brackett, the well known Sequim blacksmith, died on Friday morning at 5 o'clock from the third attack of paralysis he had suffered in the past three years.He had the first stroke while on a motor trip to his old home in Minnesota three years ago.The second was last September, and the third and fatal one was last Thursday.
Deceased was born in Webster, Mass, Aug 23, 1868.When he was three years of age the family moved to Detroit Lakes, Minn.At that place he grew to manhood.He married Annabel Tyndall in 1900.In 1903, Mr. and Mrs. Brackett moved to Sequim on the advice of his former fellow-townsman, Walter Long, and remained here ever since that time.They have one daughter, Mrs George Main of Port Angeles and one foster daughter, Lucille Balch of Sequim.
Surviving him, besides his widow and two daughters, are a grandson, Warren Brackett Main, who was the "apple of his eye."Other Survivors are his sisters, Mrs Robert W Long and Mrs Harley Edgington, of Sequim.
The funeral was held on Tuesday, the burial service being conducted by John Vint of Port Townsend.
The many good deeds George Brackett did remain as sweet consolation to those who mourn his passing.These deeds were performed unostentatiously.The public never heard of them.He was noted as a 'square shooter' in life.In his younger days he was one of the leading amateur baseball players of Minnesota and long after he came to Sequim he was one of the old stand-by guards who could always be depended upon to carry on for his home community.In every walks of life, in business, in good clean sports and in everything else in which he engaged he was an enthusiast, and in places he frequently visited he will be missed a great deal.
