4 August R. Hinz (Generation 1)
August Hinz was the youngest of the sons of Friedrich and Charlotte Hinz.  He was born October 9, 1856 in Sagemuhle, Kreis Rummelsburg, Pommern, Germany.  He was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran Parish at Zhetinig.  In 1881 he underwent training in the German Army and also married Ernestine Heritz.  After the birth of their first son Emil, they immigrated to the United States with members of their respective families.  They left Hamburg on November 26, 1882 and sailed directly to New York aboard the SS Bohemia under the command of Captain Pezoldt.  Their ship docked in the Port of New York on December 15, 1882.
Traveling with August, Ernestine, and baby Emil were August’s mother Charlotte Hinz, Ernestine’s parents, and Julius Hinz and his family.  They settled on a farm in unincorporated Freedom, Sauk County, Wisconsin.
 
Nearly two years after Ernestine died in 1897 August remarried with the widow, Augusta Trachsler.  They continued family life on the farm and Augusta raised the Hinz children along with her own from her previous marriage.  On October 30, 1906, August Hinz was sworn in at the Sauk County courthouse and became a citizen of the United States of America.  In 1916, after thirty-four years of tilling the soil in Freedom, the family moved to Ableman (now called Rock Springs).  During his eighteen year residence in Ableman, August and Augusta were members of St. John’s Lutheran Church.  August served several years on the church council.  August became ill about five weeks before his death on June 16, 1933.  Augusta died five years later.  August and Augusta are buried together in the Lutheran cemetery just north of Rock Springs.  Julius and Adeline Hintz are buried in the same cemetery.
