[Hist of McLean Co, IL, Biographical Sketches, p904] Oliver C Sabin, attorney
at law, Saybrook; was born in Knox Co, OH 19 May 1840; his father, Daniel
Sabin, was born in VA in the year 1809, and married Miss Rhoda Williams; in
1851, they moved to McLean Co, and first settled in White Oak Grove, since
known as Oak Grove Twp, and in 1865, came to Anchor Twp, where they now reside.
The subject of this sketch, at the age of 16, started in life for himself
unaided, having to earn the means by which he received his education; he first
attended Eureka College, Woodford Co, IL, and, afterward, the State Normal
University at Bloomington, remaining there over two years. While attending
college, our late civil war having broken out, he went into the army in the
capacity of Secretary to Col L. P. Ross, and, upon his promotion to Brig Gen,
acted as his Aide-de-Camp, and also as Southern Agent of the Chicago Tribune,
and, afterward, correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat, and subsequently
became one of the editors and proprietors of the Memphis Appeal. In 1863, he
returned to McLean Co, and studied law in the office of Robert E Williams, in
Bloomington, and was admitted to practice in March 1864. On 4 Jan 1864, having
married Miss Mary C Bent (of Elgin, IL), he practiced law in that city in
connection with Judge Sylvanus Wilcox. Having moved to Sedalia, MO, he was
elected Prosecuting Attorney of Pettis Co, but owing to the ill-health of his
family, returned to Elgin, IL, and, in the year 1871, came to Saybrook, where
he has since been practicing his profession. His family consists of three
children--Rhoda, born 5 Sep 1870; William B, 20 Aug 1872, and Oliver C, 31 July
1874. He owns 500 acres of land in this county, valued at $15,000. [See LDS

Washington, 14 Jan.--Col. Oliver C Sabin, a retired railroad lawyer, former

the "Evangelical Christian Science Church." He had a number of followers and

studied law and practiced for several years at Bloomington, IL, coming to
