Schowalter, Keokuk. -- Edward Henry, Sohn von Prediger Christian und Rosina Schowalter, war geboren 27. Oktober 1861 in der Nähe von Donnellson; Lee Co., Iowa. Im Alter von 15 Jahren wurde er auf sein Bekenntnis getauft und in die Zionsgemeinde bei Donnellson aufgenommen, deren treues Glied er bis zu seinem Tode blieb. Er graduierte von der Denmark Akademie von Denmark,
Iowa, und von der Schule in Wadsworth, Ohio. Im Alter von 19 Jahren wurde er Lehrer in der Schule in Berne, Indiana. Später ging er nach Halstead, Kansas, wo er im Sommer die Gemeindeschule deutsch und im Winter englisch lehrte. Am 25. Dezember verehelichte er sich mit Elise Koehn. Diese Ehe war mit 5 Kindern gesegnet, von denen 4 noch am Leben sind, eins starb Klein.
In 1889 lehrte er die Indianerschule auf der Farm vom Aeltesten Christian Krehbiel. Dann bekam er einen Ruf von seiner Heimatgemeinde, ihre Gemeindeschule zu lehren. Diese Schule hatte bisher sein Vater Christian Schowalter viele Jahre gelehrt. Er nahm 1890 diesen Ruf an und zog in die Nähe von Donnellson. Eine Reihe von Jahren lehrte er die Schule im sommer deutsch und im Winter englisch. 1901 gab er das Lehren auf, um Farmer zu werden. Im Jahre 1919 zog er nach Keokuk, Iowa, wo er bis zu seinem Tode lebte.
Am 24. Dezember 1928 erkrankte er an Influenza und Lungenentzündung und starb am 14 März 1929, im Alter von 67 Jahren. Er hinterläßt seine liebe Frau und 4 Kinder, eine Schwester, 3 Brüder und viele andere Verwandte und Freunde. Er war viele Jahre Lehrer und Superintendent der Sonntagschule, Vorsteher und Schreiber der Gemeinde. Die Leichenfeier fand statt von seinem Heim in Keokuk unter der Leitung von seinem Seelsorger Br. John E. Kaufman, Prediger der Zionsgemeinde, Donnellson, Iowa, unterstützt von Rev.
Bisping von Keokuk. Seine Leiche wird im Gewölbe aufbewahrt, bis die Wege besser werden, dann wird das Begräbnis auf dem Kirchhofe in Donnellson sein.

In 1889, he taught at the India n Training School on the farm of Elder Christian Krehbiel. Then he recieved a call from his home community to teach in the school there, where his father Christian Schowalter had taught many years. He answered this call in 1890, and returned to the Donnellson area. He taught several years, German in the summers, and English in the winters. He left teaching in 1901 to take up farming. In the 1919, he removed to Keokuk, Iowa, where he lived up to his death.
