August was born on March 4, 1833 in Germany. August is a brick wall in my research as I do not know his parents. On August 25, 1859 August married Charlotte Sophia Elizabeth Kober (1839-1927) in Germany. They had 10 children:
- Carl Christian Charles (1862-1924)
- August B. (1864-1948)
- Herman Fredrec (my 2nd great grandfather; 1866-1934)
- Armand (1868-?)
- Otto Frederick (1869-1949)
- Charlotte (1872-1937)
- Louise B. (1874-1874)
- Unknown Gender (1874-1874)
- Albert Carl (1876-1941)
- Maria H. (1878-1901)
Louise and the unknown gender child could be one in the same.
August and his family left Hamburg, Germany on April 8, 1874 and arrived in New York on April 24, 1874. According to the 1880 census, August and family lived in Milton, Illinois.
August died on November 10, 1890 at age 57. August is buried at Wheaton Cemetery in Wheaton, Illinois.
