BIOGRAPHY: The year of 1876-77 saw two young Germans in the shanty - August and Albert Teske. August, the younger, though 19 years of age, was full grown, a big man, and formed the fourth logging gang, one of the last to go into action. Albert Teske fumed a little when told he was slated for the job of furnishing the shanty with the seasons's fuel: he thought he might form a unit of a logging-gang, as he had a love for the long-handled axe, but fate decreed otherwise and he took up his wood-cutting duties with a will. (Post, The January 20 1939)

August married Mary Weisner, daughter of Therese, on 28 Jun 1882 in Mulgrave. Mary was born 1860. She died 1936.
