August Charles Chevraux, age 82, passed away on January 12 or 13, 1929. He was born in Mandeure, France, to Jean Baptiste Chevraux and Mary Justine Poinssot (or Poinsot) on September 12, 1845 or 1846.
August came to the United States of America somewhere between the ages of 9 to 12 with his parents. They settled in Louisville, Ohio.
August had five siblings: Rev. Charles Vincent Chevraux (1848-1916), Felicia Chevraux (18__-192_), Mary Chevraux Menegay (18__-193_), Rosalie Chevraux (18__-____) and Louis Valentine Chevraux (18__-1900). They all were also born in Mandeure, France.
August married Mary Magdalene Faivre on January 11, 1870, in Louisville, Ohio. They had seven children: Louise Chevraux, Francis "Frank" Chevraux, Charlotte Chevraux (died when a young child), Charles A. Chevraux, Amos Chevraux, Norbert Chevraux and Edmund L. Chevraux.
August retired at age 70 after working for 44 years and 6 months for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. In a newspaper article about his retirement, August was quoted as saying, "Railroading is not what it used to be. If the young fellows today had the hard work that we had when I began in April, 1871, the most of them would give it up."
