Sabina's father Horace married her mother,
Sarah Sabina Cooper, November 7, 1833 in Cooperstown, Otsega County, New York.
Sabina was the eldest of four children, being born 1834 in Cooperstown, Otsega Co., NY. Her siblings were Julia Comstock, born 1840; Will, born 1842, and Fannie, born in 1844.
Sabina's father worked in Detroit & Chicago in the Indian & military supply trade, and moved to Michigan as a pioneer of Kalamazoo County. He was the first Senator elected from that county; the town of Comstock, Michigan was named for him.
Sabina's mother died Feb. 15, 1846, (unknown causes) and Sabina's father lived an unsettled life with a serious decline in the family fortune. Spiraling down, after his second marriage in 1849, he sent his children in four different directions to live with relatives and friends.
It was 1850, at fifteen years old, that Sabina was sent to Whitewater, Wisc, to live with her Aunt Rosepha, Horace's older sister born 11/2/1804.
(Sabina's aunt, Rosepha Comstock Tripp, and uncle, James Tripp, had married 1/4/1825, and founded the town of Whitewater, Wisc. in 1837)
Sabina met and married Eleazer Wakeley about 1854 in Whitewater, Wisc, where had been admitted to the bar in 1844 and practiced there as a lawyer in the firm of Wakeley and Vilas. In 1857 Eleazer Wakeley was appointed to a judgeship in the new Nebraska Territory.
Reports indicate that Sabina may have taken in brother Will to live with them and he may have even moved to Omaha, Nebraska with them.
The house they resided in in Omaha, Neb. was located at 609 N. 19th, Omaha, Douglas Co., NE.
It is reported that Sabina died at 233 S. Belmont Street, in Springfield, Clark, Ohio, on May 20, 1918. Both she and Eleazer Wakeley are buried in Omaha, Douglas, Nebraska, where Eleazer had presided as judge.
