Read More	Waverly Independent & Republican, Waverly IA -Thurs., 23 Jun 1921 HOMER SEWELL PASSES AWAY Homer Augustus Sewell, son of William and Minerva Sewell, was born in Jackson township, Bremer county, Iowa, June 9, 1854, and died at his home in Waverly, Iowa, Friday evening, June 17, 1921, aged 67 years and 8 days. He was united in marriage to Mary Hamilton January 13, 1875. He is survived by his wife and three children—Mrs. Orpha Hillman, Stanley, Iowa; Mrs. Ruth Lietha, who resides on a farm near Waverly; and Thomas Sewell of Des Moines. He also leaves to mourn his demise an aged mother, two brothers, five sisters and two grandchildren. The trouble which caused his death afflicted him first on March 26, since which time he has been confined to his home, where he was tenderly cared for by his wife and children. Altho gradually failing he was able to talk with those around him almost to the last. Mr. Sewell spent practically his entire life in Bremer and Butler counties, his only residence outside of Iowa being a few years in Kansas. His life began when this country was new and thinly settled, when its people lived among the hardships of pioneer life, in fear of Indians and wild animals. He was six weeks old when he was taken by his parents to Janesville, where they, with other settlers, had fled for safety at the time of the news of the memorable Indian scare. Naturally affectionate, he loved his family and friends and was always a good neighbor. He was a keen observer of human nature. He had the rare faculty of seeing the humorous in life, and, in his original way, portray it to those around him. Funeral services were held at his late home, one mile east of town, on Sunday [19 Jun] afternoon, Rev. John D. Clinton, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, preaching the sermon. The remains were taken to Shell Rock for interment.
