George A. Kackley was an uncle of Mary Jane (Kackley) Berry, who came to Lucas County with her husband, George Henry Berry, from Noble County, Ohio (where they were married on 5 October 1865), before 1870. They lived in the Salem neighborhood for several years, according to the 1870 census in Washington Township, but had moved on to Kansas prior to 1880. The lot where George Kackley is buried is in George H. Berry's name, but the grave of George A. Hackley is the only marked grave on it. Because George's stone is broken and the name on it weathered, it often has been misread as "George A. Hackley" and that is the reading given in the Lucas County Genealogical Society's 1978 book of tombstone inscriptions. The correct spelling, however, is Kackley.
