"COL. HORACE SABIN was born at Pomfret, and received the education afforded by the district schools of his day and generation. He grew up on his father's farm, and was a lifelong tiller of the soil, largely interested in dairying in addition to farming, and also engaged in the lumber business. He was a man of very generous disposition, well liked, and was frequently called upon to serve the public in various capacities. He was justice of the peace, postmaster, and member of the school board of Pomfret; represented the town in the State Legislature, and was for many years prominent in the militia of the State; he was offered a commission in the Mexican war. In politics he was a Democrat of the old school. Fraternally he was a member of Putnam Lodge, No. 46, F. & A. M. "On March 24, 1836, Col. Sabin married Emily A., daughter of Benjamin and Chloe (Trowbridge) Grosvenor, and eight children were born of the union: Mary Ann, born Jan. 6, 1837, died March 11, 1854. Harriet Ely, born July 29, 1838, lives on the homestead. Henry, born Oct. 9, 1839, died March 31, 1896. A son, born Aug. 18, 1841, died the following day, Aug. 19, 1841. Ralph James, born Sept. 9, 1842, served in the Civil war as a soldier of the 43d Mass. Regt., known as the 'Tiger Regiment;' he is now a civil engineer, and resides on the home farm; he is a member of Putnam Lodge, F. & A. M., of which he has been master five years, and is a Royal Arch Mason. Horatio, born June 24, 1844, also lives on the farm. Chloe Grosvenor, born Nov. 6, 1846, died Jan. 12, 1871. Emily Adaline, born April 28, 1850, is at home. The Misses Sabin are ladies of education and refinement, and highly respected, and during the lives of their parents were much devoted to them.... "Col. Sabin died in his eighty-fifth year, and the Putnam Patriot of Nov. 16, 1894, spoke of him as follows: 'The familiar face and stalwart form of Col. Horace Sabin, who died at his home in Pomfret Oct. 30, will be missed by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. He was a man of great mental and physical energy. He has long been identified with many of the prominent enterprises of his time and State. "'As an agriculturist he was perhaps most widely known, and upon branches of this calling, especially in dairying, he was competent authority. For over fifty years he was a member of the board of education, where he made his influence for good felt in the public schools. "'When he was eighteen years of age he entered the State militia, rising gradually from one command to another until he attained the rank of colonel, the title by which he has been affectionately known to the people with whom he has so heartily mingled. He was chief marshal at the burial of Gen. Nathaniel Lyon, in September, 1861. He came within one vote of being chosen general of the State troops. "'Col. Sabin will be widely missed. He was in the eighty-fifth year of his age, and until within a year of his death he had always been a very active man in business and society.' "In the resolutions of Putnam Lodge, F. & A. M., of South Woodstock, passed at the time of Col. Sabin's death, it was said that he was with one exception the oldest member of Putnam Lodge. 'He has been an active and consistent member of this lodge for thirty-three years, a man of exceptionally good judgment, whose wise counsels were often sought, and we shall miss his genial face....'" —Commemorative Biographical Record of Tolland and Windham Counties Connecticut Containing Biographical Sketches of Prominent and Representative Citizens and of Many of the Early Settled Families, Chicago: J.
