August Ludwig Ewald came to Milwaukee in September 1863 from Canada with his sister Emilie Tugenreich (Bertha) Ewald. Emilie married Karl Otto in 1864 in Milwaukee. August married Augusta Luedtke Stark, a widow, in 1874. We believe August and Emilie had a brother Karl Ewald who came to Canada after 1863 and stayed there. Their father was John Ewald (a teacher) and their mother was Charlotte Vogt.
