**********************************************************************

August Kattelmann, teacher and farmer of Gasconade County, Mo., is the
son of August and Caroline (Borchard) Kattelmann, both natives of Ger-
many, the former born in Hanover in 1818, and the latter in Prussia in
1831.  When young both came with their parents to America, his parents
settling in Gasconade County, and her parents in Franklin County. They
were married in 1849 and settled on the farm on which our subject now
lives.  The father was a Democrat in politics, served in the Home 
Guards during the war, and died in 1867; his widow still lives.  Of
their family of five sons and four daughters, two of the sons are succ-
essful teachers.  August was born on his present farm in 1860, received
a fair education in the common schools, and finished at the Central 
Wesleyan College, at Warrenton, Mo.  He has followed teaching for eight
years.  In 1887 he was appointed by the county court to the office of
justice of the peace, and holds that position at the present.  In 1887
he married Miss Pauline Toedtmann, daughter of August Toedtmann.  He
has made this county his home all his life, has a fine farm of 246 
acres, and is an intelligent enterprising citizen.  He is a Republican
in politics.
