  FREDERICK M. SADLER is the proprietor of Ellsworth's electric lighting system,

which he installed during the current year, the work having been begun on May

14, 1908, under a twenty-five year franchise granted by the village council. The

plant is an up-to-date one of 650 light power and the machinery installed is all

new.



  Mr. Sadler was born in Tama City, Iowa, July 14, 1869, the son of Marion and

Hulda (Aldrich) Sadler. At the age of seven years he went with the rest of the

family to Franklin county, Iowa, which was his home four years. One year was

spent in Toledo, Iowa, where he began working in an iron foundry. Going to Cedar

Rapids, he took employment in the blacksmith department of the Ogden Plow works.

Giving up his position with that company he took a position in the shops of the

C. R. I. & P. Ry., at which he was employed eight or nine years. He then served

as city electrician two or three years. Securing the position of chief engineer

and master mechanic of the Iowa penitentiary at Anamosa, Mr. Sadler continued in

that position two years, and then resigned on account of ill health. After some

time spent as extra foreman in the Burlington shops, in February, 1903, he moved

to Ellsworth, Minn., and for a time was division foreman for the Rock Island

road at that point. He then bought out Barnes Bros.' machine and blacksmith shop

there and conducted the business until May, 1908, when he sold the business to

his brother, Arthur M. Sadler, and commenced work on the electric lighting plant.



  At Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on July 28, 1890, Mr. Sadler was married to Miss Clara

Rosencrants, a native of Iowa, and a daughter of Martin Rosencrants. To them has

been born one child, Bertha, born March 18, 1892.



  Mr. Sadler served three years as member of the Ellsworth village council prior

to the spring of 1908. He is now chief of the Ellsworth fire department.

Fraternally, Mr. Sadler is a Mason, being a member of lodge No. 25, Cedar

Rapids; a K. P., M. W. A. and A. O. U. W.
