Notes for Joshua Terry Hackett:
Joshua grew to maturity at North Freedom, acquiring common school education offered there. As a youth "Jess" was very active, ambitious and most friendly. He was always cheerful, very sentimental and generous to a fault. He had many friends wherever he went. He was kind husband and indulgent father, closely attached to home life..
Early in life he became converted to the religion of his parents and grandparents, that of the Latter Day Saints Church and put into the new life the same earnestness and enthusiasm he always displayed in his every undertaning. He soon became an Elder and Missionary in local fields, serving in Illinois, Missouri and Wisconsin. Well versed in the Scriptures and firmly grounded in his faith, and with good delivery, he became a forceful instrument in the cause he espoused. But receiving no regular salary for his ministerial work, and with a growing family to support and educate, he found it necessary to turn to other employment. Being handy with tools he took up carpenter work and later, when offered a responsible position as superintendent of a large estate on Lake Geneva, he accepted that; continuing until ill health forced him to retire. His intense love for livestock, especially horses, and other training he had received on the home farm came in good play here. His last illness was severe and protracted. His remains were laid to rest in Oak Hill Cemetery, his home town, North Freedom
