A. Hulbert Sadler, is 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, 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 cotton-gin. 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.
