     Howard Sewall was born on 30 December 1838 in Chesterville, Franklin County, Maine.^1,2 He was the son of Otis Crosby Sewall and Abigail Morgridge.¹ "a highly esteemed resident of Livermore Falls, Maine. Lived at Chesterville until 1882; then moved to East Livermore. He was schooled in Chesterville and afterwards became a contractor and a lumberman. He and his wife attended the Universalist Church. He was an Odd Fellow. There is no other man who by individual effort, has done more for the building up of Livermore Falls than Howard Sewall. His boyhood was passed on the ancestral farm of his grandfather, Dummer Sewall, at Chesterville. When a very young man, he, with his brother Eugene, in addition to carrying on the farm, purchased a sawmill and manufactured doors, sashes and blinds, until 1880. Then the Eugene Sewell moved to Livermore Falls. At that time of the population of the village was about 600 but with a foresight that has always actuated the enterprises of the Sewall brothers they felt that the probabilities of the future warranted the establishment there of a life business. They purchased of Deacon Amos Parker 20 acres of pasture land on the southeast outskirts of Livermore Falls and Eugene Sewall built a fine residence there. In 1882, having sold the ancestral Sewall farm at Chesterville Mr Howard Sewall joined his brother Eugene at Livermore Falls and built a handsome home on Pine Avenue. The Sewalls continued their business under the firm name of E. & H. Sewall, carrying a complete stock of mouldings, doors, sash, blinds, and dimensioned lumber of all kinds. This firm was widely known, and noted for the integrity of its dealings, and the business was carried on most successfully until the death of Eugene Sewall in 1906.

These Sewall brothers also turned their attention to the 20 acre tract of land which they had purchased, laying out streets there and making other improvements preparatory to building the extension of the village in that direction which has since been known as a Sewallville, a picturesque hillside now covered with attractive and well kept dwellings. Up to 1906 twenty-four tenement houses, some single and some double, had been erected in Sewallville and the owners had made it a point to keep it one of the highest class neighbourhoods in the town, several of the tenants having occupied their homes for many years. Land was also purchased in the northern part of Livermore Falls Village and three houses were built on Green Street and four on Knapp Street, which, with the family residences, made a total of 34 houses built by the Sewalls. Since the death of his brother Eugene, Mr Howard Sewall has retired from active business and gives his attention to the care of his real estate. He is a man typical of the best old New England stock, shrewd, keen, keen to legitimate business interests but no believer in the modern get-rich-quick wildcat schemes. Genial and quick-witted, he possesses a quaint humour that makes him a most interesting conversationalist and he is brisk and happy. He is an influential member of the Universalist Church, and active in the educational and industrial interests of the community but says that he has never had time to fool with political rings, and it is a one of the best satisfactions of his life that he has never run for office of any kind."³
