Year: 1923
Infant Sadler was born on October 31, 1923, in Roanoke, Virginia, to William and Beulah Brown Sadler. His father, originally from Birmingham, Alabama, worked as a laborer, while his mother was from Danville, Virginia. The family lived at 711 6th Avenue NW.
Born prematurely at approximately seven months’ gestation, the child faced significant challenges from the very beginning of life. He passed away on December 31, 1923, at just two months old. His brief life reflects the fragility of infancy in an era before advanced medical care, and he remains part of the recorded history of his family and community.
