J. Clarke (Publisher, 1922) R. B. SADLER, D. D. S. Dr. R. B. Sadler, actively and successfully engaged in dental practice in Paris, is a native son of Logan county, born May 22, 1874. He is a brother of C. C. Sadler and a representative of one of the oldest and best known of the pioneer families of the state, mentioned at length on another page of this work in connection with the sketch of C. C. Sadler. Dr. Sadler obtained his early education in the rural schools and the schools of Paris, Arkansas, and in preparation for his professional career entered Vanderbilt University at Nashville, Tennessee, in 1895 and was graduated in 1898. He then entered upon active practice in Paris, where he has since remained and through the intervening years has enjoyed a business of extensive proportions. He is also a director of the First National Bank of Paris but devotes almost his entire time to dentistry and is thoroughly familiar with the most progressive methods and advanced theories of the science. He holds membership in the Arkansas State Dental Association and the National Dental Association, and his prominence among his professional brethren is indicated in the fact that he was elected to the presidency of the state society. For a number of years he was the only dentist in the Dardanelle valley between Dardanelle and Fort Smith and he rode all over the country in his buggy to administer professional relief. He thus became widely known and few men enjoy equal esteem and regard. He educated himself professionally, incurring some indebtedness to pursue his college course, and this he paid in full with interest after entering upon practice. On the 24th of January, 1901, Dr. Sadler was married to Miss Blanche Hardwick, a daughter of D. D. Hardwick, who was born in Mississippi and when a small boy was brought to Logan county, Arkansas, by his parents, who cast in their lot with the earliest settlers of this part of the state. His father had a large farm of over one thousand acres, which he sold for Confederate money and thus lost heavily. D. D. Hardwick served throughout the war with the Confederate troops and until his death always devoted his life to farming. Dr. and Mrs. Sadler have two children: Howe, who finishes high school in 1922; and Herblin, also attending high school. The family are members of the Presbyterian church and Dr. Sadler is also identified with the Knights of Pythias. Politically he is a democrat and has served on the town council, while at the present writing he is president of the school board, the cause of education finding in him a stalwart champion. He was secretary of the advisory board for Logan county, Arkansas, during the World war and at all times he has given his aid and support to every measure or project that is promoted for the benefit and upbuilding of city, commonwealth and country.
