Augusta Rowe Lentzkow died 12 November 1900 at age 40 in Banks township of Fayette County and is buried at St. John's Lutheran Cemetery north of Sumner. Death record shows that she died of TB and census records indicate that she had 5 children - Augusta Rowe (b. about 1882) married Mortiz Hopka, Hedwig Lentzkow, Max Lentzkow, William Lentzkow (m. Dora Minnie Gosse) and Hellena Lentzkow. Children were placed in orphans home at Waverly where Hedwig died in 1904. Husband of Augusta Rowe Lentzkow was August F. Lentzkow who was serving time at Anamosa Prison in 1900. They had been married about 1888 in Germany and came to the USA about 1893. Looking for any additional information on this family and why August was in prison. Any help or clues appreciated !!
