• Name	Claud AUGUSTINE
  Birth	Abt 1837	France
  Gender	Male
  Death	1925	Wisconsin
  Notes	In the 1870 census, “Klaud” Augustin, 33, his wife Mary M, 20, and their daughter Mary M, 1 month, were living in Saukville with her father, John H “Botzer.” An entry from the Weekly Star in Port Washington, April 3, 1880, notes that Claude Augustine was a candidate for constable in Saukville. In the 1880 census, he is a laborer living in Saukville, Wisconsin, with his family, not far from his brother John and John’s family. According to Terese Augustine Hall in 1998: Claud was born in France in 1837 and died in Milwaukee WI 1925. He was a volunteer with the 9th infantry of Wisconsin volunteers in the Civil War. Claud (my great grandfather) lived in Saukville with his wife Lydia. They had Anna, twins Paulina( Polly) & Maria (Helena), John (grandpa), Albert, Frank, Charles, Nicholas and Margaretha (Margaret). In 1889, in Saukville where Claud was a prominent member of the community and mail messenger in Saukville, while he was at work, his wife Lydia, Mary, Frank, and Charles drowned in the Milwaukee River near their home. Nicholas died a few months later of exposure and chicken pox. My grandfather (John), Albert, Polly, and Helena were put in orphanages. Anna, the eldest, was caring for Claud and was able to bring Polly, Helena and Albert home. John (Grandpa) was indentured to the Catholic Church to Father Dieble in St. Gregory's Church in St. Nazianz from age 14 to age 21 for $125.00. Margaretha went to live with a family called the Schowalters from Saukville. My grandfather John moved back to Saukville, then lived and worked in Chicago for awhile. He returned to Milwaukee and married Elizabeth Lechmaier from Fredonia, who had Claude (my dad), George (died at 3 months), Mary (died at birth), Rosemary, and Geraldine. Anna married Arthur Englehardt; Paulina (Polly) married William Peglar; Helena married John Franenhauser; Albert married Magdelena Ahrends; and John (grandpa) married Elizabeth Lechmaier. An entry from the Cedarburg News, April 9, 1890, in a section on news from Saukville: “Four children of Claude Augustine found homes in Milwaukee; two girls with a private family and two boys at the Orphan Asylum.” In the 1895 Wisconsin census, he is living in Saukville with a female born in America, presumably one of his daughters. Claude is a widower by the time of the 1900 census. He lives with his mother in Ozaukee County. In the 1910 census, he lives with the Peglers in Port Washington. In the 1920 census, he lives with the now-widowed Anna and the unmarried Albert in Milwaukee.
