Augusta E. Wacker was born to Jacob Wackers and his wife, maiden name Schumacher. Augusta immigrated to America through New York City in 1852. She married Gustavus Ebert about 1853 in New York. Their first child, Rudolph Gustav Ebert was born there in 1854. Sometime before 1860, Gustavus crossed the continent to settle in Vancouver, Clark County, Washington Territory where he was living at the time of the 1860 census, working as a blacksmith. It does not list his family with him, but they must have followed soon after because daughter Emma was born there in 1862. She died at the age of 1 year-old. Daughters Agnes J. was born in 1864 and Lucy Helen in 1868.
Augusta and her son Rudolph traveled back to her homeland in Germany. They returned to New York 3 September 1860 aboard the Bavaria from Hamburg, Germany and Southampton, England ports.
