BRACKETT, 74, one of Rochester's leading citizens and a life-long resident of the city, died at his home 928 Jefferson Street at 12:15 Monday afternoon after an illness of one week. Death came as the result of a general poisoning which came from an infection of the throat. He was confined to his home last Monday and the illness gradually became worse until the end. Relatives and friends had been advised that there was no hope. ---Mr. Brackett was widely known in this community having been one of the progressive business men in Rochester for nearly fifty years. At a comparitively early age he made a comfortable fortune in the lumber and other businesses and the spacious Brackett home was one of the social centers of the city. He was an accomplished sportsman, a lover of good dogs and fine horses and his friends were listed among all ranks in the community. He was well liked by young and old as he maintained an exceedingly youthful spirit always. In the last few years he had not been actively engaged in business. He was born September 8, 1854 the son of Dr. Charles and Margaret WILSON BRACKETT, who were pioneers of Fulton County. His birth place was at the old Taylor farm place just a short distance north of Rochester on Federal Road 31. Fifty-two years ago he married Miss Sarah MERRIAM of Grafton, Vt. The ceremony took place at Rochester. She came from one of the pioneer families of that state. Fourteen years ago he was married to Mrs. Katherine RANNELLS. He was a member of the Baptist Church and the Knights of Pythias lodge and was always an active Republican. Originally he engaged in the wholesale and manufacturing lumber business with Abner J. BARRETT in 1879, retiring from this in 1900. Then he went into the wholesale grocery business with members of his family. He erected several business buildings in Rochester, the chief one being the Arlington Hotel and business block which was built in partnership with Mr. Barrett. He is survived by his wife, a daughter, Mrs. Maurice SHELTON, Indianapolis, a son, Lyman Ely BRACKETT, San Diego, Calif., a brother Charles W. BRACKETT of north of this city, a sister, Mrs. Charles K. PLANK, Rochester, a half-sister, Mrs. Frank E. BRYANT, Rochester, and five grandsons, Lyman BRACKETT, Maurice Merriam [SHELTON] and Richard M. SHELTON, James BRACKETT and Richard Ely BRACKETT. A son, Charles [BRACKETT], died 12 years ago and two sisters, Mrs. Geo. W. HOLMAN and Mrs. W. J. WILLIAMS both preceded hi in death. No funeral arrangements have been made due to the fact that Lyman E. Brackett and his family are on the way from California and preparations will not be made until after their arrival tomorrow. They left their home and were rushing by train eastward in hopes of seeing his father alive. All of the other surviving relatives were here at the time of Mr. Brackett's death. ----- Published in The Rochester News-Sentinel Wednesday, July 11, 1928 Funeral services for Mr. L. M.
