[From Portrait & Biographical Album of Gage County, NE, Chicago: Chapman Bros. 1888, p 607/8 ] Dr Alexander C Sabin, physician and surgeon at Beatrice, is a native of Knox Co, OH, and wa s born near the town of Bladensburg. When a lad of 13 years, his
parents removed to Bloomington, IL. His father, Dr Daniel Sabin, was a native of VA, and hi s paternal grandfather was born in New England. The mother in her girlhood was Miss Rhoda Wil liams, a native of Greene Co, PA, and the d/o Abraham Williams. The
subject of this sketch continued to live with his parents in Bloomington, IL, where his fathe r pursued the practice of medicine a
short time. In 1882 he, with his family, came to NE, locating in Beatrice, where both parent s passed away, the father in 1887. The household circle consisted of eleven children, seven s ons and four daughters, of whom there are now living six sons and
two daughters. Of these our subject is the eldest son and third child. His father being the o wner of a farm, his boyhood and youth were passed amid the quiet scenes of rural life, and h e pursued his early studies in the district school. Later he became
a student of Eureka College, in Woodford Co, IL, where he spent three years. Soon after leavi ng college our subject entered upon the study of medicine under the instruction of his father ,
and began practicing that same year, 1862. He, however, became also interested in farming an d stock-raising, to which he also gave considerabl e time and attention until 1873, then, dis posing of these interests, resolved to give his best efforts to his
profession. He located in Bloomington, IL, at which place,
however, he remained only one year, thence removing to Farmer City, where he sojourned thre e years. He attended lectures later Bennett Medical College in Chicago, from which he was gra duated in the spring of 1882. Previously to this, however, he had
decided upon a location in Burlington, IA, and later took up his residence there. In June, 18 83, he came to Beatrice, and in the course of time built up a business extending not only thr oughout this county, but the whole state. Dr Sabin, not being able
to dismiss his interest in live stock, perfected his arrangements for embarking extensively i n the breeding of fine horses, and now has some of the choicest trotting stock in the West. O ne of the colts in which he takes most pride is "Sabin Counselor,"
a year old, which won the first money from the State Breeders' Assn, which held its exhibitio n at Lincoln, 16 Aug 1888, the purse being $275. This animal made the remarkable time of 3:1 0 after one month's training, making three seconds over over any
previous record upon the grounds, and the doctor was offered $5,000 for him, which he refused . He has 12 head of as fine animals as are to be seen in southern NE, and in his care and kee ping of them exhibits a peculiar adaptability to the business. For
this purpose he invested a portion of his capital in 510 acres of land, upon which he has ere cted the buildings necessary for his convenience and the proper care of his stock. He put u p a handsome and substantial residence two stories in height, and of
modern style of architecture, comprising all the latest conveniences and finished in the fine st
style of the builder's art. This is located at the corner of Eighth & Lincoln streets. An ext ensive lawn assists in completing the beauty of a most attractive home. The wife of our subje ct, to whom he was married 15 Nov 1862, was in her girlhood Miss
Emma Garretson, of McLean Co, IL. Mrs Sabin is the d/o Talbot Garretson, and came to this cou nty with her parents when a little girl. Of her union with our subject there have been nine c hildren, seven of whom are living, namely: D.T., Olive, Belle,
Robert Grant, Rhoda May, Hudson Burr, Alex C Jr, and Daisy Cornelia. Residing with them in th e 1900 census was E[lizabeth] Stuart, bc 1862, niece.
