Notes:

On December 1, 1630, Simon and John Sackett sailed from England on the ship Lyon and landed in the colonies on Feb. 4, 1631. Generations later my grandfather (Alonzo Sackett) was born June 15 , 1869. He arrived in the Kittitas Valley before Washington became a state. Alonzo married Margaret Jane Coble , daughter of Daniel and Sara Coble. The Daniel Cobles came to the Kittitas Valley behind a covered wagon when Margaret was eight years old, They traveled by way of the Oregon Trail. Their family survived one year by baking bread to sell to other travelers. Alonzo and Margaret Sackett lived in the Manastash Canyon, where they raised three boys; Ray Carl, Earl Bascom, and, Asa Joel . Asa Joel (Doc) was my father. Doc married Ida Vera (Patty) Mattox when he was 29. ( Actually 28 according to official records, Ed Page. )
She was from Thorp, Washington and the daughter of Elmer Miles (Maddux) and Mary Edna (Yahne) Mattox. Mary's parents were Frederick and Margaret Yahne from the Taneum Canyon. This piece of land is still in our family with the orchard still producing. Alonzo , Ray and Doc and Patty all played for dances around the Kittitas Valley, playing in what was called Sackett's Hall. My brother Lon and I were born in the front bedroom of our Grandfather and Grandmother Sackett's house on the Thorp Road, delivered by Dr. Dean and assisted by Grandma Sackett. Our early years were in the Manastash canyon. I remember little about those years. I was told by my grandmother and others that I had pneumonia when I was about two and Dr. Dean came to our home and operated on by lungs to relieve the pressure. When he did the fluid hit the wall. (Yes, I still have the scar) Another time Christine threw the baby kittens in the creek and I jumped into save them. Uncle Ray went in after me. Daddy was a bootlegger and got caught. He spent a night in jail because he hid the evidence. When he went back to get the evidence, someone had stolen it. Daddy was in the motorcycle division during the first World War. Daddy loved the Kittitas Valley. He was never happy anywhere else. He lived his last years in the Union Hotel in Ellensburg. Alonzo and Margaret bought the Union Hotel in the twenties and lived there, renting rooms until grandad Sackett's death. Grandma continued, but finally turned it over to my Father, Alonzo. ---- Marlene Sackett (Mrs Ray Hogan, Rochester, Wash)

Notes:

Alonzo left home at the age of 12 due to the ill treatment of his father. He and Margaret Jane Coble were married in 1894. When he came to Ellensburg it was called "Robbers Roost." They had three sons; Ray Carl, Earl Bascom, and Asa Joel (Doc). Daniel and Sarah Coble were Margaret's (Maggie's ) father and mother. Daniel came to Washington on the way to Ballard, Wash. going through Kittitas Valley. Liking it better than Ballard, he came back to "Robbers Roost." He built the Coble Rooming House. It was eventually passed down to a daughter, Maude Coble Mitchell Hall. She ran the hotel until her death. Later the post office acquired it. That parking lot (Post Office) is where it stood. The Sackett brothers, with their father Alonzo, owned and operated the Sackett Hall on the Thorp highway, where they played for dances until the mid 20 s. Later they played for dances elsewhere, Doc's wife Patty, played for dances with them. Doc and Patty were known for their music in the 30's.. Alonzo and Margaret bought a farm in the Manastash Canyon. When they moved to town they bought the Union Hotel on West 3rd street. Doc acquired the hotel after his mother's death and ran it until his death. It is now part of Twin City Foods property. Ray did a little bit of everything. For a number of years he ran the Idle Hour tavern. He ran the Eclipse Hotel during WW II. Ray farmed with Doc in the Prosser Wash area then he moved to Corvallis, Ore. where he was School custodian and retired in 1964. A year later he died of a stroke.

Strange....J B Sackett is listed as a Doctor in the 1870 census.....but one all other censuses he is listed as a 'laborer' or farmer. Hmm? little Sackett humor?? Perhaps he became a Doctor late in life....after 45 because he is in the listed as a farmer in the 1860 Census. I have a note from Kathy Campbell, that he is listed as a Minister on his tombstone. Perhaps, I have never seen his tombstone. ed Apr 26 2004
