Mrs. Lyman BRACKETT died at the family home on West Ninth street, at 9:50 this morning as a result of a surgical operation performed Wednesday. Only recently it was discovered that Mrs. Brackett was suffering from a cancerous growth and an operation was decided upon as the only course offering relief. Dr. W. S. HECTOR of Chicago, with assistants, performed the operation Wednesday morning and found conditions much worse than expected; nearly three hours being required to remove the diseased parts. Mrs. Brackett never fully rallied from the shock of the operation, though conscious at times, and death was not wholly unexpected by those watching at the bedside. The death was a distinct shock, however, as no one fully realized the true condition of her health and the gravity of the surgical operation, and no fears for her ultimate recovery were entertained prior to the operation. Sarah MERRIAM, daughter of Samuel and Jane MERRIAM, was born April 24, 1855, at Bradon, Vermont, and was united in marriage with Lyman M. BRACKETT on October 17, 1877. Since that time she has been a constant resident of this city, and by her kindly disposition and splendid character made a host of friends in all walks of life. She was a refined and cultured woman and took an active part in the social life of the community, being a member of the Woman's club, the Daughters of the American Revolution and other clubs devoted to women's interests. She was a true Christian in the widest sense of the word and was an active member of the Baptist church of this city. Mrs. Brackett was noted for many acts of unostentatious charity and beloved by a wide circle of friends. Besides the husband, three children survive: Mrs. Zoe A. SHELTON, Charles BRACKETT, of this city, and Lyman BRACKETT, Jr., now at Indiana University. The funeral will be held at the home Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. ----- Published in The Rochester News-Sentinel Saturday, January 6, 1912 Mr. & Mrs. Charles BRACKETT and daughter, Mary [BRACKETT], of Hegeswich, Illinois, are here to attend the funeral of Mrs. L. M. BRACKETT. Mr. & Mrs. John FLYNN of Albion, Michigan, are expected to arrive in the city this evening. ----- Published in The Rochester News-Sentinel Monday, January 8, 1912 Fred WILLIAMS of Chicago, returned home, after attending the funeral of Mrs. L. M. BRACKETT Sunday afternoon. The funeral of Mrs. L. M. BRACKETT was held at the home Sunday afternoon, and was attended by a large number of friends, including several from out of town. The body was laid to rest in the new mausoleum, which was beautifully decorated with palms and flowers and heated so that it was very comfortable in spite of the severe weather.
