"The stork was due again in June and sure enough, he arrived right on schedule with a fine baby boy who was named Charles August.

About this same time, Augusta became suddenly very ill, and before help could come to her, she passed away. That was the worst real tragedy to strike the Kappelman family,
and it made their past hardships seem dim in comparison. It was a severe blow and saddened them all for a long time. For no matter how many children there are in a
home, each one has his own individual spot to fulfill, and is loved for himself alone. And so they grieved for their little daughter and sister."
From the story written by Augusta's sister Edna Shirley Kappelman Burke
