I don't know if anyone related Charles Sadler or not, but I found the following old newspaper obituary.
Clarissa F. Sadler in the following obituary states she was born at Roseville, Arkansas, but in her own obituary it indicates she was born in Ohio and her family moved to Arkansas at an early age. Her father was Dr. Potts. Clarissa (Potts) Sadler's obituary indicates she was born at Wayne County, Ohio, March 1, 1833. Clariss married William D. Sadler, and below is their son-in-law's obituary, but I also have their daughters obit and her name was Ophelia C. Sadler who married Judge Charles Rollin Sadler. If anyone is interested in that obit, I will be happy to send you its content.
Judge Charles Rollin Sadler, son of William D. and Clarissa F. Sadler, was born at Roseville, Ark., April 8, 1859; was married to Ophelia C. Logan Nov. 10, 1879, and died in pace April 21, 1889. The subject of this brief sketch is too well and favorably known in Logan County to need any commendation from me. He is known to your readers as an editor, as a lawyer of no mean ability, as a speaker before the public on questions of importance to the country he loved; and in all these public relations he is well and favorably know.
But the writer of this tribute would speak more particularly of his private life. He had been recently called to fill one of the most responsible offices, and we are glad that it was justly observed by one of his fellow-officers that he was making one of the most careful, consciencentious, and painstaking county and probate judges your county has ever had. We might say much of his public career, but we are glad to note that even at home he was a good man. The writer sustained with him for more than two years the relations of pastor, has been with him at home and knew his private life; and while we do not claim for him absolute human perfection, yet we do not hesitate to say that Charley Sadler had a noble heart. He was as chaste and pure as a refined woman; pure in his conversation, and also in his conduct. His life in this respect was a standing reproof to those who think it is unmanly to keep themselves chaste in their speech and person.
As a husband, he was devoted. He found in his blessed Opehlia a worthy consort. Never perhaps were husband and wife better united. And now that he has gone to join her on the other shore, surely, Heaven will be happier to them both. He remarked the first time the writer visited him after we had buried his wife, and the first burst of grief was over, that there was an expressible longing in his heart to meet her; and anxiously asked me, "Shall I know her there?" When informed that that was my belief, he seemed much encouraged.
Our loss is great. Logan County has lost a good judge; the bar an able lawyer; his children a good father; the community a good neighbor, and the Church a good member; but we submissisively bow to the "chastening rod;and know that He doeth all things well.
"Let sickness blast, let death devour
If heaven must recompense our pain;
Perish the grass and fade the flower
If firm the world of God remains."
