A Tribute...
"Fannie Effie Sabin" was born September 6, 1870 in Naperville, Illinois, the fifth child of Albert S. Sabin and Sarah Ellis Sabin.
The Sabin and Ellis families, old New England families, had migrated from Massachusetts and Connecticut to Vermont, New York, and then west to Naperville, DuPage County, Illinois in the early 1830s. Naperville was a newly founded town in the frontier west of Chicago, and for years it vied for the position of county seat of DuPage County. It later attracted Northwestern College (now North Central), founded by the Evangelical Society. The Sabin family valued education, and Guy Ellis Sabin was in the first class to began studies at Northwestern College after it relocated to Naperville in 1871.
Fannie later adopted Frances Ellis Sabin as her professional name. She taught at the University of Wisconsin, and at the Teacher's College of Columbia University in New York. She never married, but led an exciting and adventurous life. She and her surviving sisters, Mary and Daisy, traveled extensively, and, near the end of their lives, lived near their nephew (my grandfather), Bert Sabin, in Jonesborough, Tennessee. In 1934 Fannie attempted to reconstruct a list of all of her destinations in a little travel diary, which I have transcribed below.
The following is a biography which was published in ACL Historical Notes of "The Classical Outlook" in the winter of 1993:
