Augusta (Auguste) Albrecht was born in 1860 in Germany, the first-born child of John (Johann) C. Albrecht and Caroline (Carolina) Fidalus Albrecht Doerr. The family were Protestants. In 1863 the three of them, and Augusta's little brother, John (Johann) Albrecht, sailed from Bremen, Germany onboard the ship Ocean to Baltimore, Maryland in America, arriving on September 7. Augusta's brother John died aboard ship on July 19.
The family then moved on to Cincinnati, Ohio where others from the Albrechts' area of Germany were settling. The family resided in Cincinnati's 12th Ward. The couple gave birth to another son in 1864, also naming him John. In September of 1864, Augusta's father was a Union Civil War soldier fighting with General William Tecumseh Sherman on the March to the Sea in Georgia. He was in Company H of the 14th Regiment of the Ohio Infantry. Augusta's parents went on to have at least eight more children.
Sometime before the 1870 census, Augusta disappears from all records and probably died as a child, between the ages of three and 13. There is no proof, other than oral history, that she is buried in the Albrecht family plot in section 4, lot 366 in the Vine Street Hill Cemetery in Cincinnati, where most of her family is buried. Cemetery has no record of this burial although cemetery records are disordered. The 1880 census shows her father working in a quarry.
Thanks to the Albrecht and Stauber families for so much of this information. Any errors, however, are mine alone. Please go to the "edit" link on this site with any corrections or additions. If a closer relative than I would like to manage this grave, please let me know.
