The Ionia Standard, Friday, February 8, 1918
Thursday, January 31st, marked a sad day for Martin Hackett of Odessa 
township, when he laid his youngest son, Private Emil Hackett, in a vault at 
Lakeside cemetery, Lake Odessa.  He is survived by his father, one sister, 
Mrs. G. Ulrich of North Ionia, and four brothers: Arthur, Louis and Gustave of 
Odessa, and a brother, Fred, who could not be located.  His mother died when 
Emil was only three years old.  He has always been a loving and faithful 
helpmate to his father, who is past seventy-three years old.  

The bearers were Ellwood Peacock, Joseph Schnabel, Vernon Majinski and Frank 
O’Mara.  He was 26 years, 8 months, 17 days old.  He was drafted, and went to 
Camp Custer eight weeks ago; was sent to Little Rock, Ark., December 15th, and 
on December 25th was stricken with pneumonia and departed this life on January 
25, 1918.

The body arrived in Lake Odessa on Tuesday evening.  His brothers Arthur and 
Gustave arrived in Arkansas two hours before his death, but he had been 
unconscious for a considerable length of time.  Gone, a faithful and loving 
young son. 

The funeral was very largely attended at Lake Odessa on Thursday at 1:00 
o’clock.  There were many pieces of floral offerings to show the respect for 
the young man.  Burial will take place some time in the spring.
