Шаблон:Short description

Шаблон:Infobox officeholder Charles Dwight McEwen (June 20, 1822 – July 26, 1901) was an American politician who served in the Minnesota House of Representatives from 1893 to 1895.[1] A Republican, he represented District 42.

Born in Hinesburg, Vermont,[1] McEwen lived in New York and Wisconsin before settling with his family in Minnesota in 1857.[1] The family lived first in Hutchinson, where they owned a cheese factory and Charles McEwen held local office in McLeod County, and later in Boon Lake, where they set up the first cheese factory in Renville County.[1] An abolitionist and a member of the Home Guard,[1] McEwen was elected to the House of Representatives in 1892.[1]

Following his death, his son Bowman maintained the family farm, and served on the Renville County Commission.[1] In 1906, Bowman's daughter Sarah moved with her husband Max Ramsland to Canora, Saskatchewan.[1] Max was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan in 1917, but died after less than a year in office during the 1918 flu pandemic; Sarah was then elected to the legislature as his successor, becoming the first woman ever to serve in Saskatchewan's provincial legislature.[2]
