A. Hulbert Sadleris a native of Arkansas, and was born in Yell County
December 3, 1846. His father, the Hon. G. C. Sadler, was born in South
Carolina, [p.1276] and in 1827, when about sixteen years of age, came
to Yell County, Ark., and later studied medicine there and in Scott
County. He was married in the latter county to Annie E. Logan,
daughter of the late Col. James Logan, and a native of Missouri, who
was reared in Arkansas. In the spring of 1847 Dr. Sadler removed to
Franklin County, and settled in Mulberry Valley, sixteen miles
directly north of Ozark. He was one of the first settlers in this
region, and until the war farmed and kept a mercantile store upon his
farm. He also established the Cass Post-office, of which he was the
postmaster. In 1848 he represented his county in the State
Legislature. His death occurred in November, 1862. He reared a family
of four sons and three daughters. Two of the sons are now deceased. N.
B. Sadler was a member of the Arkansas Legislature in 1874, and died
December 28, 1879, and James L. died April 28, 1868. Both were
soldiers in the Civil War. Those now living are our subject, David
Sadler, of Baltimore, Md., and three sisters. A. Hulbert Sadler grew
up upon his father's farm, and when nine years old lost his left arm
in a cottongin. After the war he attended school one year in Hopkins
County, Tex., and then in the fall of 1866 returned to Franklin County
to take charge of the home farm. He has always been a successful
farmer, and is now the owner of the old homestead, containing 280
acres, the larger portion of which is rich bottom land. He has about
100 acres under cultivation, and all his buildings are well and
substantially made. In 1882 Mr. Sadler was elected sheriff of the
county, and he discharged the duties of that office during his term in
a manner to win the respect of all. September 4, 1868, he married Ann
Baxter, daughter of John Baxter, clerk of Scott County, and formerly
of Alabama. Mrs. Sadler is a native of Scott County, and received her
education there and at Van Buren. She is the mother of nine children:
Daisy B., Hoyt E., Jasmine, Quaile, Bertha B., Hulbert, John A., Leta
A. and an infant now deceased. Mrs. Sadler is a member of the
Methodist Protestant Church. Her sister, now the wife of Prof. F. J.
Allen, was the wife of the late James L. Sadler, by whom she has one
daughter, who is now attending the Peabody Institute at Nashville.
