In Oneonta [Otsego Co. NY], June 25th, Timothy Sabin, aged 75 years.
Another of the pioneers of Oneonta has died. During the night of June 24th, the spirit of Timothy Savin took its flight, just how and at what hour, God only knowns. The evening before he was in usual health, and Tuesday morning dead. From the appearance of his features and body when discovered, it was evident that he died without a struggle. His life went out, yielding to the circumstance of old age and a finished course.
Timothy Sabin was born at Pauling, Dutchess Co. [NY] in 1803 and was consequently 76 years of age. He came to Oneonta in 1811. In 1823 he married Willmet Van Dyke of Mayfield in this State [Fulton Co. NY]. She died May 17th, 1827 aged 20 years. February 14th, 1828 he married Harriet Mann, daughter of Daniel Mann of Franklin [Delaware Co. NY]. She died June 15th, 1865. During his early residence here and for a few years in Davenport [Delaware Co. NY], Mr. Sabin pursued the avocations of farmer, clerk, hotel keeper and merchant. In 1849 he retired from the mercantile business and from that date until about 1875, conducted an extensive commission business, his son, Egbert T., being a partner during considerable of the time. Mr. Sabin built the store now owned by George Reynolds and one or two houses. He was more instrumental than any other Oneonta person, excepting only the late E.R. Ford, in promoting the Albany and Susquehanna Railroad project. Although never holding any official connection, his energy, good management and encouragement had much to do with its building. Mr. Sabin was converted under the ministrations of Rev. Augustus Little John, became a member of the Presbyterian church in 1833 and was made an Elder two years later, which position he held until some eighteen months ago, at that time of choice, becoming merely honorary. In church Mr. Sabin has been a zealous worker and as a Christian gentleman, prayerful and constant in religious duties.
In the esteem of his neighbors and fellow townsmen, Timothy Sabin might properly have been regarded our first citizen. During the years of his strength, he was with the first in everything that pertained to the welfare and prosperity of his town. Without a particle of selfishness, he devoted time, work and money to promote public enterprises and Oneonta is the better and more prosperous because of his living in it. His exalted Christian character, his charity, his kindness, his devotion to all things good, made him a man to be missed by those who cherish Christianity a high condition of public morality and good order. His name will ever be associated with the noblest of our dead and it is strange indeed if there are not those yet living who are endeavoring to emulate his virtues and are pressing on to a better life because of his example.

May Hyman now propitious prove, / Bestowing naught but you and love! / Long may they live and love most true, / And taste the joys ordained for few!
But should their wayward fate ordain, / that they should suffer grief and pain; / True Love will brighten every woe, / And give its flames still brighter glow
Thus they will solace find in each, / More than e'or Wealth or Power could reach.
