Augusta and her husband Gottlieb Grams
arrived in the United States in 1884 along with their infant son Ehrich.
In the 1900 Census they were in
Washington County, Texas and the last name was spelled

Augusta was 41 years old.

Germany.
Mattie born January 1886,

1899.
The 1910 Census Falls County shows:

Gottlieb and Augusta were still living in
Falls County in 1920, which showed they were naturalized in 1906.
Augusta Emilie (Woltmann) Grams died
September 23, 1925 in Greenvine, Washington County, Texas and is buried
there.
After Augusta's death Gottlieb moved to
Round Top, Fayette County, Texas.
On January 11, 1930 he married Emma Jahnz, the widowed sister
of Augusta Grams. They were married in the Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran
Church.
Gottlieb Gram died in Round Top, Fayette
County, Texas in 1944. His second wife, Emma also died in Round Top, Fayette
County, Texas in 1949. They both are
buried in the Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Church Cemetery. Emma is
buried between her two husbands.
The 1900 and 1920 shows the family as
GRAMMS.
