Edwin Rodney "Rod" Sabin

CHILDREN ARE MOURNING
Loss of a Dear Friend In the Passing of Rodney Sabin, Their Grocer, All the Death.

Little children are mourning the loss of a true friend in the passing of Rodney
Sabin, who died Monday morning at 11 o’clock after an illness of but a few hours
with neuralgia of the stomach.

“Rod”, as he was better known, was at the time of his death conducting a
successful business in a little grocery store in Henderson Hall. His candy
counter was the mecca of the children from the public schools, morning, noon and
night, and he easily won their favor and trade by giving them good measures for
their pennies.

To show his big heartedness at Christmas time he loaded himself with boxes of
candy and stationed himself at the school gate and presented each little one
with a token of his esteem for them.

Mr. Sabin was widely known over Warren county as the official dispenser of
refreshments at the various auction sales and it was but few of these that he
missed. He won many friends by his honesty and time-tried integrity, while his
cheerful disposition was radiant to those with whom he came in contact. 

The deceased was born September 17, 1857, being at the time of his death just 52
years and four months old. He is survived by a brother, William E. of Lebanon,
two sisters, Miss Margaret, of Lebanon and Miss Lida, of Lockport, Ill.

Funeral services were held from the residence of his brother on East Mulberry
street Wednesday afternoon at two o’clock conducted by Rev. G. E. Gowdy, of the
First Presbyterian church. Interment was in Lebanon Cemetery.
