August, known as Gus, was the fifth child of Carl Traughott Hegwer, born on June 8, 1833, in Prussia, Germany and Wilhelmina Frey, born on November 23, 1836, at Klausdorf, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.
In the year 1880, Gus is counted aged 16, in a census for Spring River, Lawrence, Missouri, United States, living with his father (47), famer by occupation, his mother (34) and six siblings as follows: Frank (18), Edward (14), Reynold (12), Rosena (10), Henry (7) and Helena (3). All of them born in Kansas but Helena who was born in Missouri. There were also three children who died at childbirth or at a very shot age: Carl, Charles and unknown.
In 1887, at age 22, he married Mary Elizabeth Bowers, aged 20, of Indiana, United States. The couple had the following children: Paul Jent, Mabel, Laura, Julius and Louise.
In 1900, after 13 years of marriage, he is again counted, aged 36, in a census for Sarcoxie Township, Jasper, Missouri, United States, District 66, living only with his wife (34) and three children: *Mabel (11), Laura (9) and Julius (5).

And finally in 1910, we find him in a census aged 45, for the same town, living with his wife (44) and four children: Laura (18), Julius (16), both single, Paul (7) and newly-born Louise.
