August Louise Florentine Altwein was born in 1830 in Germany. She was the daughter of Johann Gotthulf Altwein and Wilhelmina (Quandt) Altwein.
In 1851 this family traveled by ship to America. They left Bremen, Germany on September 8, 1851 onboard the ship "Franciska". They arrived at Galveston, Texas on November 4, 1851. The family then traveled to Indianola, Texas probably on a smaller ship.
In March of 1853 Augusta's father Gotthulf Altwein purchased 764 acres near Schumannsville in Guadalupe County, Texas. In May of 1853 while clearing his land he suffered a heat stroke and died.
Augusta married Johann Krams Deceember 29, 1852 in New Braunfels, Comal County, Texas. (Church records show January 9, 1853) They had at least six children.
August died August 6, 1901 and is buried in the Altwein Family Cemetery. Her husband is also buried there, and it is believed that two of their daughters are there also. There was an epidemic of black measles in 1883 that probably caused the deaths of the daughters and also their father.
