Known as August C. Voss (to distinguish him from the 3 other August Voss' in Eau Claire), he arrived in this country on the 3 of November, 1883. The family consisted of his wife Bertha, daughter Martha, son George and a three month old infant son, Bernhard. They eventually made their way to Eau Claire, Wisc. where they joined August's brother, Charles Voss. Soon their father, William, and mother Regina (or step-mother, no one is quite sure now) would also call Eau Claire home.
They were members of St. John's German Lutheran Church in Eau Claire and became part of the vibrant German culture. Living in the 8th ward, there were four Voss families. Two are connected by the brothers, and though they were sponsors of baptisms in the other Voss families, no direct link between them all has yet been found.
August was employed as a pipefitter for first the J.P. Fox company, then the Eau Claire Gas and Pipe Company, which in turn became Wisconsin-Minnesota Light and Power and finally Northern States Power.
Of August and Bertha's four known children, only two survived to adulthood.
