Sabados, Veteran Article Text: Veteran at 100 Recalls 5 Wars. Going into his 101st year, Arpad Sabados is looking back upon a century of romance and adventure. Born into Hungarian aristocracy, Cabados was being trained for a military career at the time the 1849 revolutions were undermining European thrones. At 20, he was a captain, and at 22 he joined the service of Louis Napoleon in Piedmont. Fighting in Rome and Egypt prepared him for a job of training Union soldiers during the Civil War in the United States, where he had drifted. Peace terminating his work, Sabados moved on to Mexico, there to cast his lot with Maximilian. When tragedy ended this historic attempt to implant European monarchy on American soil, the adventure-seeking Hungarian turned back to the Balkans. This time he fought with the Russians, and participated in their triumph in the Russo- Turk War in 1877. Returning to America Sabados abandoned soldering for peaceful pursuits. A dairy led to the packing business and fortune, in Chicago. The economic depression cost him his wealth, however, but left him with "enough to live on well." The aged adventurer now lives with his daughter, Mrs. John Bakos, in Tiffin. At 100, Sabados displays the vigor of a man 35 years his junior. He boasts that he never has had a serious illness nor a cold. "Why am I as youthful as I am?" Sabados asks. "Because I never overworked. I always have had plenty to eat and drink." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ OH-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com
