Sewart was born on January 16, 1844 in Collin, Pommern, Prussia (modern day Kolin, West Pomerania, Poland), the second of four children born to August Ferdinand Sievart and Augustine Wilhelmene Haltzhüter. The first child, August Frederick Ferdinand, had died in infancy. A younger brother to Edward would also be born, Frederick "Fred" Ferdinand, and a younger sister, Wilhelmina “Minnie” Gustina. Fred's father died in the summer of 1846 when Edward was less than two years old. This event left Augustine with two infant children and pregnant with a third. Four years later, in 1850, his mother Augustine would again marry, this time to Lieutenant Christian Wohlfeil. This marriage would last the remainder of their lives. To this new union were born Edward's three half-siblings, Frederika Louisa, Ernestena "Lina", and Mary Emalina “Emily”. In March of 1860 when Edward was 15 years old, his family left Repplin, Pommern, Prussia and emigrated to the United States. They departed from Hamburg on the immigrant sailing ship Sir Robert Peel - a sea journey that took several weeks before arriving in New York City on the 12th of May. The ship manifest indicates the family was headed for Canada, but instead settled in Effingham County, Illinois. It was in Effington that Edward began farming with his family. Edward served briefly with the Union forces in the Civil War, from June 11th, 1864 to September 26, 1864. He and his brother Fred were in Company K of the 143rd Illinois Volunteer Infantry. Edward was a wagoner and Fred a private. Suffering injuries while in service, he was “compelled to return home” to Effington and was later honorably discharged. After his brief military experience Edward resumed farming. It was in Effington Illinois that Edward married Emily Sligar on February 26, 1871. This marriage would last a proud 51 years. To this union would be born eight children, five living to adulthood. The family would continue to farm in Effington until 1877, when the draw of the West brought them to Seapo in Republic County, Kansas. The opportunities in Kansas must have agreed with the Sewarts, for over the following years Edward, his siblings, and mother and step-father had all located near Hollis in nearby Cloud County. Edward and his family would farm near Hollis for some 15 years. A call to the the ministry next came to Edward., where he served as minister in half a dozen Kansas communities, then in the 1890s a return (with his wife Emily and two youngest children) close to the farms of his siblings, in Concordia, Kansas. Edward died at Concordia in 1922 at the age of 78. He is buried in Hollis Cemetery in Cloud County, Kansas, next to his wife Emily.
