August Abraham Jr., 98, of Minden City, passed away Sunday, April 14, 2013 at 
his daughter’s home.  

He was born on August 17, 1914 at home in Parisville, son of the late August E. 
and Otylia (Uller) Abraham.  He married his sweetie, Agnes Lemanski, on June 
15, 1946 at St. Mary Catholic Church in Parisville.  They spent 65 amazing 
years together before Agnes preceded him in death on February 29, 2012.

 

August attended the MacMillian Country School.  He was a lifelong member of St. 
Mary Catholic Church in Parisville.  He served in the U.S. Army Air Corp and 
was a member of the American Legion Harbor Beach Post #197.  August was a 
farmer and professional truck driver most of his life.  He milked cows and 
hauled cattle until he was 90 years young.  He owned and operated two canned 
milk routes.  He hauled wood, beets, stone, cream, butter, fertilizer from 
Saginaw and coal from Unionville to Minden City.  August was employed at the 
saw mill and Nestle Co., both of Ubly.  He bailed hay, both stationary and 
custom.  He white washed barns and ran a steam engine to thrash grain.  He 
truly enjoyed gardening.  He had a love for animals, but his passion was living 
life to its fullest.

Theresa Kirsch of Ruth; four grandchildren, Adam Thompson and his wife, Brandy, 
Jason Thompson, Jessica Kirsch and Rebecca Kirsch; three great-grandchildren,

five sisters, Elizabeth Zurack, Rose Pawlowski, Frances Helewki, Margaret Alent 
and infant, Pauline.
