AUGUST GAUGER Two Rivers Reporter, Aug. 11, 1937 Smith at Manitowoc Writes Own Obituary Manitowoc (Special)- August A Gaugher, 61, knew what he wanted from life- -and he knew what he wanted in death. As far as it is possible for any man he obtained both. August Gauger knew what to expect of the future, too. He saw to that. When he died at his home last night his family only to write the words "August 13th" in the obituary August Gauger wrote in his own hand two years ago. Here it is, just as Mr. Gauger wrote it and wanted it printed: "August A. Gauger, well known Washington street blacksmith and horseshoer, died after a lingering illness of heart trouble. He was born in this city December 8, 1875 at the old homestead on South 15th street, which he still occupied at the time of his death. He attended the old third ward school until he was 14 years of age, when he was called upon by his father to learn the blacksmith and shoeing trade which he worked for 66 years. His health failing, he was forced to quit the trade. The old Gauger blacksmith shop was erected in 1870. It was equipped with an old time ox frame to shoe oxen, which was used extensively in those days. After serving a number of years as apprentice Mr. Gauger's father entered into a partnership with him under the name of O. Gauger and Son. After his father became incompetent and retired he went into partnership with the following well-known blacksmiths-Charles Zinkel, Bern Kitserow and Phil Heidorf. Mr. Heidorf is still operating the shop and it is the last horseshoeing shop in the city today." "Mr. Gauger was married in 1899 to Amanda Baerwaldt of this city who survives with one daughter, Mrs. Otto Rapp, one grandchild, and two brothers, Edward of this city and John of Porterville, California. Mr. Gauger was an active member of the old Manitowoc Turn verein serving as Turning Teacher for (illegible) years until the Verien finally disbanded." "Although his education was limited, Mr. Gauger succeeded in passing the civil service examination and was appointed substitute mail carrier under Postmaster Harry Kress. At that time the mail was collected from the corner mail box with a horse and cart. He was a charter member of the old Manitowoc County Blacksmiths' association, also a charter member of the Master Horseshoers Protective association of America. Hew as a member of the following lodges: the E. R. A., the Beavers, and the local Aerie of Eagles, who will conduct the funeral services.
