Notes:
Her baptismal and confirmation records give her name as Justine, but she was called Auguste in most other records. Auguste was confirmed at the age of 14. She served as baptismal sponsor to Wilhelm Robert Krüger on 1 Jan 1856 in Osche. She came to the US with her husband and children in 1881. She never learned English. After her husband's death, she remained in Winside until at least 1910, then lived near Lyons with her daughter Wilhelmina and son-in-law August Eggert, then with just her daughter, from the spring of 1917 to her death in 1932. Her death certificate gives her age at death as 96 years, 10 months, 10 days, off by one month, but her obituary lists her age correctly.
