Gospel preacher listed in Ligon's Portraiture of Preachers of 1899.
Joseph S. Sewell, eldest son of the late J. L. Sewell, died August 18th, of congestion, in Missouri. He took a congestive chill away from home, on the tenth of August, and was never conscious any more. His wife went and assisted to wait upon him, but no reaction could be brought about, and on the 18th his sufferings ended. He had spent much of his life in preaching the gospel of Christ, and did much good, working very much of his time helping to build up in new fields. He has been away from this state most of the time since he began preaching, so that I really know but little of his life's work, except that he has spent much time in the work of preaching. I suppose some one more intimate with his work in this line, will give a more extended notice. -- E. G. S., Gospel Advocate Sept. 10, 1890, page 587.
