Capt. George Wilbur Sackett Killed In Action
Maquoketa Excelsior-Record, Maquoketa, Iowa, November 18, 1918

Capt. George Wilbur Sackett-

In the Chicago Herald of Wednesday was found the following short clipping that 
will be of interest to many Maquoketa people:
Capt. George Wilbur Sackett, a nephew of Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout, noted 
suffragist, was killed in action, October 15, 1918. Mrs. Trout received a War 
Department message to this effect yesterday. She had reared Capt. Sackett 
since he was orphaned in infancy.
Capt. Sackett was graduated last year from West Point. He was in command of 
Company F, 11th Infantry, in France, which he was leading in the final drive 
of the war. Just previous to his departure for France he married Miss 
Antoinette Cooper of New Rochelle, New York.
