Notes:
August. Sailor, lumberjack, farmer. Already in 1848 he was no longer listed as living with his parents in the census. He went to work at age 11 on a riverboat on the Elbe, hauling clay products (brick and tile). The family story is that his father arranged a position with the merchant marine out of Hamburg, he was hired to work on a transatlantic freighter, and on his first voyage to America at age 27 he jumped ship in New York. He gave his money to some Germans in New York and got a railroad ticket west, leaving only a few dollars for his food. But in fact he applied for emigration on 11 March 1869, and passenger ship records indicate that he sailed for the US on the Hammonia, age 29, departing from Hamburg and Havre 24 March 1869, and landing at New York City 6 April 1869.

He never served in the military, either in Germany or in the US. He worked in a forest near Eitzen MN for three years, where he came to know the Spannuth family. He may have lived in St. Paul briefly in 1870, working in a lumberyard (CEN1870). On 6 November 1871 he filed his declaration of intent to become a citizen of the United States, in Caledonia, Houston County, Minnesota. At that time he could not sign his own name.

He moved to Burt County NE in 1871(EE4) or more likely 1872(FYH) and worked as a farm laborer for Waldo Lyon, for whom Lyons Nebraska was named. He was a charter member of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church near Lyons, Nebraska, in 1874. He purchased his farm southeast of Lyons by grant from the US Government in 1879. This farm was on the southwest quarter of section 5, Everett Township (later Bell Creek Township), Burt County, Nebraska. He met his wife while delivering a load of grain to Norfolk Nebraska, where she worked as a waitress in a cafe. Their first eight children were born in the small house that was later turned into a chicken house. The remaining children were born in their new larger house on the farm. He had an extensive orchard and large garden. He raised grapes, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, many kinds of apples, cherries, plums, and apricots and peaches. His huge garden provided many vegetables for the family table. He was naturalized in 1896 (CEN1920). They moved to Lyons in May 1922 after son Herman took over the farm.

The 1870 census gives his age as 27. The id on this one is questionable. The 1880 census gives his age as 32. EGG20 gives his name as Johann Friedrich August. CEN1910 says he immigrated 1870, CEN1920 says 1865, EFC.1, EGG2.1, EGG3.1, and EGG20 say 1868.
