Before coming to Redlands, the Sewall family was based in the Boston and Maine areas, where they were involved in politics and the East Coast shipbuilding business which included sailing ships in the earlier years and battleships during various wars.

A message came from Elk Point last Saturday morning which stirred this whole district. This was to the effect that Mrs Clifford H. Sewall had died of 'flu. Mrs. Sewall is the daughter of Mr. Roderick MacKenzie and a sister of Harvey C. MacKenzie and Samuel MacKenzie, both of Etzikom; there is another brother, Victory Roy MacKenzie, of Rockford, North Dakota, and one sister, Jean, who has recently become the wife of Lieutenant Sherwood of Windsor, Ontario. Mr. Harvey MacKenzie and Mr. William Thiel immediately drove to the Crow line in order to make Elk Point in time for the funeral. Mr. C.I. Sewall of Calgary and Miss Dora Sewall of Grassy Lake also left at once to be in attendance at the funeral, the latter two being brother and sister of the deceased's husband. Mrs. Sewall's death is a great blow to this part of the country, as she came here in 1909 and kept home for her father and brothers until about seven years ago, when she married Mr. Cliff Sewall. They were both dearly loved and popular with all the people in this district and only last fall moved away to the north. Mrs. Sewall leaves five children, the oldest being only seven years of age.⁷
