Title

August Jr. (1874-1912)

Abstract

August Jr. was born in Germany on June 19th, 1874. While much isn’t known about his education, we know his parents’ names, which are August Sr. and Rosalia.

After a couple of years to follow, August had 2 younger brothers and 1 younger sister. They were named Julius, John, and Anna. But at the age of 14, August Jr and his family moved to Wisconsin.

After a while, 2 younger sisters and 4 younger brothers were born and the final children ever born in the family which made 10 kids in total. Then August Jr got his own home in Milwaukee Ward 5, Wisconsin, USA in 1900 at the age of 26 with an occupation of being a laborer.

But at the age of 32 in 1906, his mother, Rosalia, died at the age of 54. He then moved to Ward 12, but during that time he caught Pulmonary Tuberculosis. Then he died in 1912 at the young age of 38 due to it and passed in the Milwaukee County Hospital.

August Jr. was buried at Milwaukee County Almshouse and Poor Farm Cemetery. Since then, parts of the cemetery were disturbed, with paved roads, new buildings or human remains boxed and shelved. He was separated from who he was and lost his identity and silenced. But with what we know about him, he will at least be remembered and never forgotten in history like many before him.
