It appears August immigrated to the United States without Wilhelmine, sometime before 1903 when his daughter Emilie came to meet him in Bethlehem, PA. For the last 13 years of her life, Wilhelmina lived with her daughter Emilie. From death records, we know that August did not live at that address. We also know that he was hospitalized for seven months before he died.
We know that Johan August was a laborer, perhaps worked at the Union Stockyards and is reported to have been a custodian at a dance hall.
