Biography reproduced from page 462 of the History of Kossuth and Humboldt Counties, Iowa published in 1884:

William E. Sifert was born April 26, 1855, in Vernon Co., Wis. When fifteen years of age he came to Kossuth county, and has lived in different parts of the county working for different men the most of the time since, except in grasshopper times when he went to Floyd Co., Iowa, and engaged in working for A. W. Cook and Capt. Humphrey, returning in the fall to teach. In 1878 he spent the summer in Wright county, breaking land for A. Overbaugh. He has been a successful farmer and has taught thirteen terms of school in Kossuth county. He was elected assessor of Algona township, in the fall of 1879, and served one term. He is a firm believer in Christianity, but not associated with any sect. In politics he is a republican.
