• Notes

  Under Courts and Bar Cameron County. Quote: "The first record book of Cameron County courts is dated January 8, 1861, when Judge R. G. White, with Associate Housler presided in the school-house. S. S. Hackett was crier, and, along with D. J. Morrison, acted as tipstaff." We pick up the name of Hackett again under Centennial Association. Quote: "The county organization for the purpose of making arrangements for and carrying out the celebration of the Centennial Fourth in 1876, comprised on committee for arrangements Emporium S.S. Hacket, etc." In the year of 1861 S.S. Hacket was elected to the school board with 69 votes. The Driftwood Logging Company was chartered September 9, 1884, with S.S. Hacket and H. L. Hacket, of Emporium, and the Howards and A.P. Perley, of Williamsport, stockholders. In the year of 1855 S.S. Hacket paid $25. for a retailers license in Emporium. The petition asking the incorporation of the borough of Emporium was presented in July, 1864, by A.E. Kelly, C.C. Fay, J. W. Martin, S.S. Hacket, L.G. Cook, G. W. Warner, J. W. Phelps, J. W. Judd, George Metzger, Washington Burks, and Amos Chandler. The grand jury reported on this petition favorably in Oct. and the court of quarter-sessions on Oct. 13 granted the request. The first election was ordered to be held at L.G. Cook's Hotel, Nov. 15, 1864. In the special election for Emporium we find that D.B. Mather received 42 votes for Councilman. He did not win the election. In October a H. J. Hacket was elected as Councilman. In 1867 S.S. Hacket served as Burgess of Emporium. In 1889 S. S. Hacket received 149 votes was elected assistant Burgess. In 1890 S.S. Hacket, a Democrat received 62 votes and was elected East Ward Councilman. The post-office in East Emporium with S.S. Hacket, postmaster was established in March 1886. He served as auditor of the Emporium Fire Department when started in 1874. Hacket and Sons had a $3000. loss in the flood of 1889.
