Born in New York City to Swedish immigrants Laurence Olof Lind and Augusta Wiren Lind, Augusta was the eldest of twelve children born into the Lind family (this not including two other children born to Mr. Lind by a previous spouse). Augusta was called "Gussie" by family and friends. She attended school in New York City, graduating from the New York Training School for Teachers in June 1912. Augusta taught elementary students at PS 32 in the Bronx, resigning in 1919 to be wed to Anders Anderson. Following the birth of her two children, Elaine Elizabeth in 1920 and Allan Andrew in 1921, Augusta resumed her teaching career at PS 72 and PS 12. Of historical interest, her principal at PS 72 was Dr. John F. Condon, the "Jafsie" intermediary of the Lindbergh child kidnapping case in 1932. Upon retirement in October 1951, Augusta had accumulated more than 36 years of service to the children of New York City.
Having lost her husband in March 1940, Augusta moved to Indianapolis, Ind., in 1951 and then Bedford, N.H. in 1955, living with daughter Elaine and her family. Summers were spent at "Pine Hill," the vacation home built by Anders in the early 1930's in East Charlemont, Mass. Augusta passed away in 1979 after a brief illness, and was laid to rest beside her husband in Mt Hope Cemetery, Hastings-on-Hudson, New York.
