Married
At the home of the bride's parents six miles northwest of Toledo, Iowa, on Thursday evening, Jan. 26th, 1899, in the presence of a number of relatives and friends, Miss Delila P. Sabin was united in marriage to Henry F. Reinig. Rev. Edward Lee of Toledo, officiating.
The bride is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.P. Sabin, a young lady of excellent qualities born and raised in Tama county. The groom, a young man of good character, was also born in Tama county, his parents being old settlers in the county. Miss Nettie DeFrance played the wedding march and acted as "bride's maid;" and Mr. Earnest Krause was the groom's "best man." Mr. and Mrs. Reinig will begin housekeeping in a few weeks on a farm in the community where they have lived, and where they will be "at home" to their friends.
A bounteous supper was served by the bride's parents. A nice lot of valuable and useful presents were left for the bride and groom.

Another day, another album
Now that I've uploaded the photos from Grandma Sabin's album, it's time to start on her daughter's photo collection.
In the same box as Grandma Sabin's photo album is a slightly larger, slightly newer one, which belonged to Delilah Pearl (Sabin) Reinig. Several of the photos in this album have names, or are faces that are familiar to me, so identification isn't as much of an issue. Several, however, just have the handwritten label "cousin of your mother" on them. I haven't been able to pinpoint who wrote those on there, but I think they're photos of Pearl's cousins, which leads me to believe perhaps my great grandmother, Pearl's daughter-in-law, wrote those.
Too bad she didn't write names too.
Look for more photos shortly.

Obituary of Warren G. Sabin

OBITUARY OF WARREN G. SABIN
Funeral Services held Saturday
Another of the counties pioneers joined the enumbered caravan, last Thursday, when Warren G. Sabin passed away in death. Nearly five years ago he sustained a stroke of paralysis, but his rugged constitution and tenacity of life refused to yield then. He suffered several light strokes since, and these so wore away his strength, that when the last stroke fell, his weakened body was unable to resist. The old time vitality was gone. Death claimed his victim. A good husband, a noble hearted father, and upright citizen has departed from this life forever.
Warren G. Sabin, eighth or ninth son, a twin, of William and Jerusha Bennett Sabin, was born in Steuben County, New York, Nov. 15, 1836. His parents were farmers and the son was well trained in habits of industry and economy. He took up the calling of a carpenter and became proficient in the trade.
In 1862, he came to Illinois, remaining there one year, coming to Iowa in 1863 and settling in Black Hawk County. After a year spent in Black Hawk he came to Tama County and lived a while with his brother, Jerome Sabin, on a farm north of Toledo. March 1, 1877 he was united in marriage with Miss Angelina Jackson, a daughter of Mr. And Mrs. William Jackson of Indian Village township, and the young couple went to live on a rented farm north of Toledo. In 1879 they moved to Furnace County, Nebraska and lived there eighteen months, going thence to Chickasaw County, Iowa. In 1882 they bought the farm northwest of Toledo, which was their home until Oct. 13, 1913, when they became residents of Toledo.
One child, Mrs. Dellah Pearl Reinig blessed this union, she will comfort the mother in her great bereavement.
Mr. Sabin's parents were staunch members of the Methodist Episcopal Church and their son was baptized when still young. During the years of his life, his faith in the redeemer remained steadfast. Before the years of infirmity came he attended church at the Townsend Schoolhouse and did his part in making possible these services. Deafness came on apace with his first stroke of paralysis, making church attendance useless. Thru all the year of his illness he made no complaint, resigned his own to the father's will. Over him death gained no victory. Mr. Sabin was the last of his father's family, but there are a number of nephews and nieces to join the immediate family in mourning his death. One grandson, too, is saddened by his good grandfather's departure.
The funeral services were held at the Methodist Church in this city, Saturday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, conducted by the pastor Dr. W. L. Alexander. Musical selections were furnished by Mrs. J. B. Brown, Mrs. C. O. Edgington, B. F. Green and H. P. Giger, with Mrs. H. P. Giger at the organ.
The pallbearers were J. P. Evans, E. M. Blake, Lyman Emerson, G. M. Fee, J. M. Grau and John LaDue.
Interment was in Rose Hill Cemetery.
