When he was 30 he married the sister of Marie Wuytack,
his sister-in-law, Josephine Wuytack, who was born in Kallo on 16/2/1880.
They took over a farm in Eede in Zealand-Flanders in the Netherlands, just to
the north of our Meetjesland.
Josephine gave her husband four sons but she died in Eede on 4/5/1912 at the very early age of 32.
August then married Louisa Maria Blondeel, who was born in Eede on 21/4/1875. And in 1920 they moved to a farm in St. Kruis (Aardenburg) just across the Belgian-Dutch border in Zealand. (Sint-Kruis means Holy Cross and the name Aardenburg is made up of two parts: "aarde" means earth and "burg" means stronghold, fortress.)
Eight years later August fell from a wagon and as a consequence of this accident he died in St. Kruis on 28/6/1928. Louisa Maria carried on with the farm until it was taken over by her newly wed son Odilon.
Their first son Omer was married to Margriet Stefanie Vermue. They have 3 daughters and 2 sons and 10 grandchildren.
Their second son Odilon was married to Marie Buysse. They have 3 daughters and one son and 7 grandchildren.
Their third son Hilaire married Margaretha Celestina Haverbeke. They have a son and a daughter who each have 2 children.
Their fourth son Achiel was married to Maria Agata Alphonsina Dossche. They have 2 daughters, 1 son and 4 grandchildren.
