Sackman, baby Dotson: (TS: no dates) (no information located in 2005)

Informant: Charles Sackman, Sprague, WA. Death: July 3, 1914, 7 p.m. Cause: second stroke of apoplexy of 12 days duration; Contributory: arteriosclerosis. D. M. Strang, MD of Sprague. Burial: Maccabee Cemetery. W. R. Lee, undertaker.” (WA State Certificate of Death) Augusta Korth came to the US in 1881 and was married in Michigan to Charles F. Sackman. Two children were both to them in Michigan prior to coming to Washington Territory prior to the 1889 census. They had at least four more children in Washington. She reported on the 1910 census that she had given birth to six children with three deceased. It is not known if “Baby Dotson Sackman” was her child, but she reported 6 children born and living in 1900. By 1910 she had at least 7 children, though in that census report she reported 6 children born with 3 children living. The family remained in Sprague until her death.
-
Sackman, Charles F.: (TS: Sept 25, 1856-Oct 17, 1923; father) “Record of Funeral of Chas F. Sackman. Funeral: Oct 21, 1923 at 2 p.m. at Community Church, Rev McGreger. Death: Oct 19, 1923, Spokane. Aged: 67 yrs 0 mos 24 days. Hazen & Jaeger of Spokane. Interment: Section 72.” (Sprague Mortuary ledger) Charles Frederick Sackman was born in Hamburg, Germany, the son of Mathias and Margaret Sackman. He came to the America in 1865-6 to Michigan where he was naturalized in 1888. He was married to Augusta Korth about 1885. Augusta was also born in Germany and came to the US in about 1881. They were in Lincoln County prior to the taking of the 1892 census, as were his parents. Charles and Augusta had seven known children: Minnie (1887), Annie (1888), Clara (1889), Rosa (1891), Lillie (1897), Fred (1900) and Oscar (1905). (These births are taken from available census and tombstones, and not verified by documentation or family.) The 1903 Lincoln Co School District #6 for Sprague lists the children of Chas Sackman: Minnie, 17; Annie, 16, Clarry, 14; Rose, 12; Lillie, 7. Charles worked for the RR in his earlier years and while in Sprague was most often employed by City Water Works. In 1900, Charles and family were in Adams Co, in the McQueen Precinct. Following the death of his wife in 1914, Charles was next found on the census with his daughter, Rosa, who had since married James Grant. At that time Rosa had 3 children, Charles, Wilson and Lyell. They were residing at Annapolis in Kitsap County.
Sackman, Chas F.: owner, Blk 72 (on 5-16-10)
-
Sackman, Clara: (TS: Aug 6, 1887-Nov 18, 1908; sister) “Miss Clara Sackman died at Myrtle Hospital, Sprague, the 18th inst. of pneumonia.” (Citizen: 11-27-1908) Local census reports show that Clara was the third born child of Charles F. and Augusta Sackman, and probably in 1889 in Washington State. Her name does not appear with the family on the (April) 1889 Washington Territorial census with the family, as she was not yet born. Clara was their first child to be born in WA. The R. L. Polk Business Directory for Sprague for 1908 lists Clara M. Sackman as a dressmaker who was residing with her parents.
-
Sackmann, Freddie I.: (TS: May 26, 1900-Feb 17,
1901; s/o C. F. & Augusta) Little Freddie Sackman was born in May 1900 and
appeared on the 1900 census taken for June 1, 1900; he was shown with his
parents, Chas and Augusta, and his sisters: Minnie, Clara, Rosa and Lilly. At
that census marking, Augusta reported that six children were born to her and
that six were living, Annie was not shown but appeared later on the 1902 Sprague
Census.
-
Sackman, Margaret: (May 6, 1832-Nov 21, 1902; w/o Mathias) “Mrs. M.

Interment in Maccabee Cemetery. Among the sorrowing relatives is C. F. Sackman of this city who is a son of the deceased lady.” (Sprague Times: 11-28-1902) SLE page 761 has excerpts from the Sprague Herald, dated Nov 28, 1902, “Mrs. Margaret Sackman died—age 70 yrs, 6 mos 15 days. Funeral Congregational Church, buried in Maccabee.” Margaret Sackman was on the 1889 WA census with her husband Mathias, both being natives of Germany. She reportedly arrived in the US in 1865.

The remains were borne to Maccabee Cemetery for interment. Deceased was aged 77 years, 2 months and 24 days.” (Sprague Times: 7-13-1906) Mathias and Margaret and their family emigrated from Germany to the United States in 1865, bringing with them, at least young Chas F., as a 9 year old. The family migrated to Washington in territorial days and appear on the 1889 census in the vicinity of Sassin or Edwall, judging by the surnames that were their neighbors. The census does not identify localities. They also appear on the 1892 census. They were not located on the 1900 census, however, Mathias and Margaret died locally in 1906 and 1902.
