FINIS E. SADLER, M. D.
Vol. 3, p. 1104

The progresisve [sic] faculty possessed by some men stands as one of
their dominating characteristics and gives to them a marked advantage
in attaining distinct prestige in any line to which they may confine
their efforts. Doctor Sadler is a substantial physician and surgeon
of Coal County, Oklahoma, whither he removed from Wapanucka, then
Indian Territory, in 1906. He has since been one of the most valued
residents of Coalgate, where he has achieved prominence in both
professional and municipal circles.

A native of the Lone Star State, Doctor Sadler was born in Fannin
County, Texas, February 10, 1879, and he is a son of John W. and
Isabel (MCGEE) Sadler. John W. Sadler is likewise a native of Texas
and for many years past has been known as a prosperous farmer and
rancher in Fannin County, that state. Of the children born to Mr. and
Mrs. Sadler, H. E. and Roy are ranchers and stockmen in Fannin
County; Lillie is the wife of Cowan LATTIE, cashier of the First
National Bank of Dodd City, Texas; and Dr. Finis E. is the immediate
subject of this sketch.

Doctor Sadler received his preliminary educational training in the
common schools of Fannin County, Texas, subsequently attended high
school at Bonham, that county, and he completed his literary
education in Hawthorn College, at McKinney, Texas. Early deciding on
the medical profession as his life work, he entered Central
University, at Louisville, Kentucky, and there completed a special
course on the diseases of children June 29, 1903. April 29, 1904 he
was graduated in the Memphis Hospital Medical College, at Memphis,
Tennessee, with the degree of Doctor of medicine, and June 30, 1904,
he completed a special course in therapeutics and gynecology under
Dr. Edward SPEIDEL of the faculty of Central University, Louisville,
Kentucky. Being thus well equipped for his life work Doctor Sadler
entered upon the active practice of his profession at Wapanucka,
Indian Territory, in 1904, and removed thence to Coalgate, Indian
Territory, in 1904, and removed thence to Coalgate, Oklahoma, in
1906. Here he has built up a splendid medical practice and for
several years past has served most efficiently as local surgeon for
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway Company. For five years he was
city health officer of Coalgate, also the county physician for five
years, and he is a valued member of the Coal County Medical Society,
the Oklahoma State Medical Society, and the American Medical
Association.

In 1906 was solemnized the marriage of Doctor Sadler to Miss Addie
E. CALDWELL, of Sherman, Texas. This union has been prolific of three
children, namely: Isabel, born in 1909; Doris, born in 1911; and
Ewing Caldwell, born in 1913.

Doctor and Mrs. Sadler are devout members of the Presbyterian Church
at Coalgate and in a fraternal way he is affiliated with the
Benevolent & Protective Order of Elks. Doctor Sadler is greatly
interested in the general progress of his home community and at the
present time is giving most efficient service as a member of the
Coalgate Board of Education. As a man of refinement and culture, as
well as unusual medical skill, his residence in Coalgate is much
appreciate by his fellow citizens.
