Warren Co. previous to the birth of our subject. He, John, learned his trade in the county, and established himself in business in Butlerville, before the war, where he worked for some time. In 1861, he enlisted in Co. A, of the 120th [sic] O. V. I., which was raised for the three months’ service. Mr. Hackett was the first man from Harlan Township to enroll his name after the expiration of his enlisted time; he re-enlisted for three years; he did service in the Middle Department of the army, and was in the battles of Scurry Creek, Antietam, the second Bull Run fight, and others of equal importance; at Antietam he was wounded in the left hand, and received scratches on his right hand and leg; he was discharged July 11, 1864, having served over three years. Locating in South Lebanon, he did jour work for a time, and, in 1872, established himself in a shop of his own. Being a practical and intelligent workman, he commands a good percentage of custom work of the place. He is a member of the Morrow Lodge, I. O. O. F., No. 116, and also of the Encampment, and of both is a worthy member and brother. To Mary Wager, of South Lebanon, he was married in 1868. Mr. Hackett owns a fine property in the village, and is rather historic, from the fact that it was on his property. Gen. Sutton settled when he first came to Ohio, in 1795. |
