Left Russia in 1888 with two children, Daniel and Katherine (Katie). They
settled briefly in Scotland, South Dakota. Arriving in Burlington in March
1890 they settled north of Bethune.
Their first home were dug-outs, carved into hillsides with planks,
covered with sod, serving as the roof. Later, adobe houses were built
which were much better than the sod houses most of the other early settlers had.
In 1892, August Adolf was able to arrange for his father and mother and
three children to come to the United States. Christian (father) and his
family settled near Denver when they first arrived; he and Andrew (son) worked
in the smelters. Later, they came to the settlement and worked as a
blacksmith.
August worked as a shoemaker.
