Biography Text
Harold was the oldest of 6 children, 5 boys and 1 girl. Harold's father, Louis Sadwin started Sadwin Manufacturing which was later owned and operated by two of his brothers, Sherwood and Dan. Sherwood and Dan's partnership eventually dissolved with Dan opening up his own business on Social Street while Sherwood continued running Sadwin's.
There were two Sadwin locations. Harold owned the Sadwin's which initially opened on Court Street, moved to Main Street and then moved to its final location on Park Avenue.
Harold was also responsible for starting the Northern Rhode Island Mental Health clinics in Woonsocket.
