Sebastian was eager to learn. He attended country school through the 8th grade. After convincing his parents that he wanted to further his education, he moved to Strasburg, ND and lived with his Grandmother, in order to attend high school. He graduated from Strasburg High School in 1942. After graduation he taught in a one room school house one half mile east of where he grew up. In July 1945, he was drafted into the US Navy, where he was a Discharge Clerk at the Charleston, SC Naval Base. After his discharge in August 1946, he returned to North Dakota where he continued teaching for two more years, having some of his brothers and sisters as students. Sebastian married the love of his life, Magdalena Piatz, on June 2, 1947 at St. Anthony's Catholic Church, rural Burnstad, ND. Following their marriage, they farmed from 1948-1991, together raising a family of ten children. Developing a love for farming, Sebastian was blessed to bring in 43 harvests during his farming years. After his retirement, Sebastian and Maggie moved to Linton, ND and he continued to help on the family farm until 2010. Sebastian was active at St. Michael's Catholic Church of rural Linton, ND, where he was baptized and made his First Holy Communion, and where he later brought his family to weekly Sunday Mass. Upon retirement, Sebastian later became a member of St. Anthony's Catholic Church. He was an honorary life member of 59 years to the Knights of Columbus, serving as Grand Knight in 1978 and 1979 and later became a Fourth Degree Knight. He was a 43 year member of Linton American Legion, Linton School Board member for 15 years (9 years as chairman). Sebastian served as president for the Emmons County Farm Bureau Board of Directors. He was a member of the ND Milk Producers Association and became chair of that organization as well. He also served as a Director of the Linton Fire District for several years as well as the Clerk of the Wood Township Board. Sebastian enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren, often reading books and singing to them. His favorite song being, "You are my Sunshine." He enjoyed traveling, crossword puzzles, taking road trips, and checking crops with Maggie, his wife of nearly 69 years. Sebastian's love for his wife continues to be an inspiration for his children and grandchildren. He had a passion for reading and golfing. Instead of missing out on a round of golf on Ladies Night, Sebastian and his golf buddies formed a traveling men's group and would play various courses in the area.
