AUGUST DEHN
August Dehn
There was an August Dehn living at Rockville, Town of Schleswig. He was the son of Albert and Caroline Dehn. On the 1880 Schleswig census, he was 14 years old (born about 1866). He had a younger brother Albert, who was age 8 in 1880. On the 1900 Census for Schleswig, Albert and Caroline are still living in the center of Rockville but there are no children living with them. To date I have not found a marriage or death record for August. I will search for records relating to his parents.
