Monroe County Heritage Book article: "It is interesting to note that Augustine's birthday fell on Valentine's Day and each year she would receive over a hundred Valentine cards from her relatives and neighbors."

(Some family records list her given name as "Augustine," but she was listed as "Auguste" in the baptism record of her daughters Elise, Emma and Lilla; as "Auguste" in the family's immigration record; as "Augusta" in the 1870 Census; and as "Gusta" in the 1900.).

Both the Pergander and Bremer families came to the United States from Germany in 1857 to Milwaukee and once owned property in what is now the heart of the that city. They left what they had and decided to come to Adrian Township, Ridgeville and Reels Valley."

(The 1900 Census indicated that she emigrated in 1847 and had been in America for 53 years, the 1910 Census indicated 1859, and the 1920 indicated 1855.)

(The 1860 Census for Wauwatosa Township, Milwaukee County, WI, contains a listing for "Auguste Pergander," age 13, who was living in the household of Sanford and Helena Wheeler. That is believed to have been her.)

The Monroe County Heritage Book says that she was a twin to Emily, and both died in infancy; they are not believed to have been twins, because church records list Lily's birth in 1881.
