M.D., Physician and Druggist, was born September 2, 1848, near Rock Hill, in York County, S. C., and is a son of Richard and Mary (Williams) Sadler, who were both natives of York County. We find our subject attending the common schools in the immediate vicinity of his home until attaining the age of sixteen, when he entered the Confederate Army as orderly sergeant of the South Carolina State troops, but was only in the service three months, owing to the closing of the great struggle. Immediately after returning home he went to school two years, then engaged in farming three or four years, and afterward went to Bradley County, Ark., and there studied medicine under Dr. J. T. Meek, two years. He then went to the Louisiana University Medical Department, at New Orleans, where he graduated in March, 1873, with the degree of M. D. Dr. Sadler began the practice in Bradley County. and remained there till 1880, when he came to Uniontown, where he has ever since engaged in the active practice of his profession. His extensive practice would make it needless to affirm that he is ranked well in his profession. Dr. Sadler has also engaged in the drug business since identifying himself with Uniontown. and in this, as in his professional life, he has been successful. Dr. Sadler was married in February, 1886, to Miss Etta, daughter of William O. and Virginia C. Key. His wife's father is a native of Maryland, and descended from one of the oldest and most highly respected families of that grand old Commonwealth. Dr. Sadler belongs to the Masonic fraternity, and is a member of the County and State Medical Societies. He served as president of the County Society during the year 1887, and has acted as medical examiner for a number of insurance companies.
