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

August Wohlt, of the Hermann Ferry and Packet Company, at Hermann, was 
born in Gasconade County, Mo., August 3, 1853, and is the son of Henry
Wohlt, of this county.  August received a fair education in the common
schools, and came to Hermann in 1875, where he has been engaged in his
present business.  Prior to this, however, they built a boat, and now
own and run the ferry (steam).  They built the "Royal" in 1884, a small
steam packet, with which they do a general coasting business on the
Missouri and Gasconade Rivers, and are doing well.  May 12, 1878, he
chose for his companion through life Miss Caroline Spery, daughter of
Joseph Spery, of St. Louis, and the result of this union was the birth
of two children, both deceased.  He never aspires to official positions
and is a hard working, industrious citizen.  He is a member of the 
Hermann Fire Company, and the Triple Alliance, with headquarters at
Troy, Mo.
