Settled in Hutchinson in McLeod County, Minnesota, when he first came to the U.S. in about 1878. That’s where he was living, as a day laborer, with his wife Annie and his daughter Ida in the 1895 state census. He and Annie had been there for 7 years which confirms the 1888 date of emigration for the Wendts.

In the 1900 census, he is a painter living in Aitkin. He had come to the U.S. in 1868 and his wife in 1886. Daughter Ida was 12 years old and in school. Living with the family was Anna’s 73 year-old father, Ferdinand Schumann.

In the 1910 census, he is August Wendt, a house painter living in Aitkin with his wife and grandson. Young Edwin is age 4.

In the 1920 census, he is C Wendt, living in Aitkin. He is a printer or a painter with his own shop. He and his wife were born in Germany and he came to the U.S. in 1885 and she in 1881. Fourteen-year-old Edwin is listed as their son.

Claimed to have emigrated in 1888 in the 1930 census. Showed 1878 in the 1910 census.

Living in town in Aitkin at the time of the 1930 census with, they claimed, their son Edwin. In the 1910 census, however, they claimed he was their grandson and indicated “don’t know” for the place of birth of Edwin’s father.

The history of the Immanuel Lutheran Church says that August Wendt built and donated the altar. This would have been in the late teens of the 20th century because the church was built in 1916.

He was born in rural Readstown on Feb. 28, 1923, to Raymond and Allie Ward. When he was at a young age, his parents moved to the Chicago suburbs of High Lake, West Chicago, Wheaton and Warrenville. His father worked on a commuter railroad. Seward attended grade school there. After 10 years in Illinois, his family returned to Wisconsin, where Seward finished grade school and graduated from Viroqua High School in 1942. After high school, Seward enrolled in Madison Vocational School, completing a course in aircraft sheet metal.

He entered the U.S. Army in February 1943. He was assigned to the 602nd Engineer Battalion in Camp Buttner, N.C.

On June 6, 1944, his unit participated in the invasion of France and landed on Omaha Beach. His unit did see service in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany and the Netherlands. His unit was caught in the Battle of the Bulge, but managed to escape 20 minutes before the Germans overtook the area.

Upon his discharge from the service in December 1945, he helped his father on the family farm until spring 1947, when he enrolled at the Curry School of Aeronautics at Galesburg, Ill., obtaining his pilot's license. In November 1948, Seward started work for Dairyland Power at the Genoa Station Plant No. 1.
