General Notes

According to the 1900 census, August came to the U.S. with  Maria in
1885. They were married at Sacred Heart Church in Indianapolis on April
26, 1886. The officiating priest was Francis Haase, OFM. Their witnesses
were Ignatius Kurreck and Catharine Kurreck.
In 1900 they had been married for 13 years.  August  had not received
naturalization papers. He worked as a laborer at Starch Works factory.
They lived on Vinton St. in a home that they owned.
August and Maria had 5 children all born in the U.S. but only 4 were
living during the 1900 census.  A 42 year old boarder was living with the
family by the name of Joseph S??? during that time. He also was a laborer
in the Starch Works factory. He was from Germany.
During the 1910 census, August was still working for Starch Works.  Their
daughter Rosa was not living with them but the other 3 children were. 
Perhaps Rosa had gotten married before 1910 to ? Grady.  Their son
William was working for a company as an office boy. Josephine and Edna
were not working at that time.
Later, August worked for the Monon railroad as a flagman until his death
April 21, 1924. He was 62 years of age. He died from Uremia. He was
living at 1435 S. Illinois St. at the time of his death. Lauck funeral
services handled his funeral service. Not sure where he is buried.
Possibly St. Joseph cemetery.
