    • Biography

      Auguste (Lawrenz) Strauss migrated from Preußen to United States.

      Auguste was a Farmer.

      Auguste was born in 1871. See Alien Registration below, which identifies her birthplace in Lauenburg, Pomerania. She passed away in 1963.

      Immigrated 8 May 1876 at 5 years old with family from Pommern (Pomerania), Prussia.

      1918 Registration of Alien Female shows birthplace as Maheschitz, Lauwenburg, 21 March 1870; with all children listed with birthdates. [1]

      Pauline Carney and children lived with Otto and Augusta Strauss from 1932 through 1935, while son-in-law Jesse Careny was assigned in other part of country in US Army Cavalry band.

      Have census from 1930, which lists citizenship obtained in 1876.

      Have Passenger list from 1876 immigration with family through NY:

      Name: Auguste Lawrenz Arrival Date: 8 May 1876 Estimated Birth Year: 1873 Age: 3 Gender: Female Port of Departure: Bremen, Germany Destination: United States of America Place of Origin: Germany Ship Name: Donau Port of Arrival: New York Line: 31 Microfilm Roll: 403 List Number: 374 ALSO ON BOARD: Ludwig Lawrenz, age 44, male, farmer, origin Germany, destination Kansas Dorothy Lawrenz, age 42??, female, origin Germany, destination Kansas Julius Lawrenz, age 12??, male Ferdinand Lawrenz, age 9, male Pauline Lawrenz, age 7, female Ludwig Lawrenz, age 5, male Herman Lawrenz, age 6 months, male

      Have photograph's and painting by grandson James H. Carney II of Auguste.

      BD varified by date on back of family picture and other relatives as well as Gravestone.

      Cause of death, Atherosclerosis - hardening of the arteries.
      Research Note

      Birth date is clear from documentation and grave records. Birth place is Lauenburg, Pomerania (now Lebork, Poland) as evidenced from her handwriting on her Alien Registration and her immigration record coming from Pomerania - Not the Lauenburg in Germany which would have been 850 kilometers away from where she met her husband and departed Europe from. In the day, an impractical distance and in the wrong Prussian district.
