Augustus was a veteran of the Civil War and served as a 1st Sgt with the 73rd Indiana Volunteer Infantry. He served in many campaigns and battles including; Stones River, Lookout Mountain, and Buzzards Roost. He was at one time captured by Confederate forces and held at the infamous Libby prison at Richmond, Virginia, but was exchanged and released to return to his regiment. After the war he removed to Crawford County, Michigan where he worked in the logging camps, and later settled a nice 160 acre farm at Beaver Creek. His descendants still live on the old homestead.

Suggested edit: August H. Annis for twenty eight years resident of Beaver Creek township, passed away at his home on the tenth instant after a lingering illness.
Mr. Annis served as a soldier in the 73rd Indiana Infantry, and was a member of the Marvin Post G. A. R. of Grayling. He was also a social member of the Gleaners. He leaves a widow to mourn his loss, besides a brother, two sisters and six adult children, two sons and four daughters.
Mr. Annis was a kind husband and father, and among the large circle of his acquaintance was much beloved.
Services were held at the home on Monday at 1:30 p. m. and were largely attended. The Gleaners of Beaver Creek assisted at the burial, which with the local choir at the home and at the burial rendered the services very impressive.
The floral decorations were beautiful, and testified to the large place the deceased occupied in the affection of the people and of his immediate family.
Rev. J. Humphrey Fleming conducted the sermon services at the home and cemetery ably assisted by friends and neighbors of deceased.
