August Ernst.
August ERNST, the sixth child of Joseph and Thresia Ernst, was born in Folsen
Kreis Warburg, Prussia June 24, 1838. After serving three years in the German
army he came to America in 1861 being about 23 years of age, stopping first in
New York, then in Iowa. On the 25th day of August 1863 he was united in marriage
to Margaret SEGRIST, who died May 20, 1905. To this union six children were
born, two of whom, John Anthony and Joseph Micheal, preceded the father in
death. The surviving children are: E.R. Ernst of Washington, D.C.; Frank Albert,
of Holton; Anna ELLENORE, of Cummings, Kans.; and Joseph Martz of Pasedena, Calif.
About the year 1870 he took western fever and came to Kansas, settling
Pottawatomie county, where he spent the greater part of his life until he came
to live with his son Frank in Holton in 1907.
About three years ago he had an attack of heart trouble which enfeebled him so
that he could hardly get around and last July he took to his bed from which he
passed quietly away December 21, 1922, at the age of 84 years, 5 months, 27 days.
The funeral services were held on Saturday December 23, 1922, form St. Dominics
church by Father O'Neal, the body being laid to rest in Mt. Calvary cemetery.
