Born in 1875, August came to America in 1903, arriving with his young family, only a few dollars in his pocket and rail tickets to Milwaukee.
He was most likely born in a portion of Poland later occupied by Germany, and had the good fortune to have family already here.
Within a short time found work as a teamster in a lumber yard, then working in a box manufacturing plant. He owned his own home and raised a family with his wife, Anna, next to whom he now sleeps.
His tombstone reads "Father, August, 1875-1936".
