C. C. SADLER.
    C. C. Sadler, engaged in the abstract business at Paris, is one of the
native sons of Logan county, his birth having here occurred October 12, 1867,
his parents being James O. and Mary Z. (Clements) Sadler. The father was born in
Arkansas in September, 1838, and was a representative of one of the old and
honored pioneer families of the state. His father was Rufus C. Sadler, who was
probably a native of Georgia and removed to Mississippi, whence he came to
Arkansas in the '20s. He assisted in transporting the Indians to the territory
and he was a farmer, merchant and slave owner. The maternal grandfather, Abel B.
Clements, a native of Tennessee, also came to Arkansas long prior to the Civil
war and served as county judge in southwestern Arkansas. His daughter, Mary Z.
Clements, was born in the southwestern part of this state on the 12th of
February, 1840, and there she became the wife of James O. Sadler on the 9th of
August, 1866. He was a farmer and merchant, conducting a store at Shoal Creek
and also carrying on merchandising at Elsworth for a number of years. In 1887 he
removed to Paris and thereafter lived largely retired from active business until
his death, which occurred in January, 1913. For about four years he had survived
his wife, who died April 3, 1909. They were the parents of seven children, of
whom five are living; C. C., who is the eldest of the family; J. M., who is
field man for the Bankers Trust Company of Little Rock, having for a number of
years been associated with the banking business, connected with the state
banking department for some time; Ocie M., the widow of William L. Cravens, Jr..
who was a merchant and bookkeeper; R. B., who is a practicing dentist at Paris;
and Lewis C, cashier of the First National Bank at Paris. The parents were
faithful members of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, taking an active part
in the church work. In early life they had been members of the Presbyterian
church but later joined the Methodist denomination. Mr. Sadler was also a Mason
and for a number of years served as secretary of the Masonic lodge in Blaine. In
politics he was a democrat and at the time of the Civil war was a captain of
Headquarters Company under Cabell. He was wounded in the arm at the battle of
Wilson Creek, Missouri. Both he and his wife were highly esteemed as people of
sterling worth and as representative of two of the old and honored pioneer
families of the state.

    C. C. Sadler was educated in the country schools of Logan county and started
out in the business world by assisting in his father's store. He afterward began
studying law in an office and was admitted to the bar in January, 1906, at which
time he began practice in Paris but now devotes the greater part of his
attention to the abstract business, in which he has engaged since 1908. He has a
splendid set of abstract books, is thoroughly accurate, systematic and reliable
and his patronage is now extensive.

    In 1897 Mr. Sadler was married to Miss Jennie Gwaltney, who was born in
Logan county and died August 7, 1908. She had four children, of whom three are
living; James Overton, who works at an oil station in Paris; Mary Lee, attending
Galloway College at Searcy; and Elizabeth Murphy, also a student in Galloway
College. In July, 1909, Mr. Sadler was married to Theodocia Foster, who was horn
in Logan county, Arkansas.

     They are faithful members of the Methodist Episcopal church, and Mr. Sadler
is also identified with the Knights of Pythias. He is a past chancellor
commander of the lodge and keeper of the records and seal. He is also identified
with the Woodmen of the World. Politically a democrat, he has served as town
recorder, as school director and for four years as deputy circuit clerk, while
for an equal period he filled the office of county treasurer and was a faithful
custodian of the public funds. He has always been active in political circles
and his opinions carry weight in the local councils of his party. His entire
life has been passed in Logan county, and those who have known him from his
boyhood, as well as the acquaintances of his later years, bear testimony to the
sterling traits of his character, to his reliability and progressiveness in
business and to his faithfulness in all matters of citizenship.
