2. August "Gust"² Arendt (Johann¹) was born August 15, 1867 in Poland, Russia (Source: Milwaukee County Court, Department of Old Age Assistance.), and died Bef. 1926 in Wauwatosa (Milwaukee), Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He married Mathilda Roda August 1891 in Poland. She was born 1874 in Poland, Russia, and died Abt. 1925 in Siberia, Russia.

Notes for August "Gust" Arendt:

According to Kathleen and Louis Arndt (Sept 23, 2003) and family info passed down, there were no brothers, sisters of His Grandfather August nor of his father Louis that came to the Wauwatosa/Milwaukee area. In fact, it's believed that August's wife Mathilda Roda didn't come either (died in Russia?).

The 1910 Federal Census for Milwaukee Ward 20 on Wright Street lists a Gustav Arendt age 42 (1867/8), occupation, tannery, living with wife Angeline, age 47 (1863), and a daughter Emma, age 18 (1892) born in Wisconsin. While Gustav is German, emigrating in 1890 and Angeline, also German born, emigrating in 1880. Could this be the same Gustav, coming and then going back to Russia/Germany to possibly remarry after Angeline and/or Emma dies?

Notes for Lillian (Juds Yutz) Jutz:

Son Louis Arndt tells of how relatives (Jutz) came into the house after his mother died in Jan 1929 and took furs, jewelry, furniture, etc. If it wasn't for his grandmother (then Ann Rolli) the children may have been separated by relatives taking older siblings Fred and Florence because they were old enough to work but Louis and Dorothy weren't. grandma wouldn't allow this to happen for approx four yrs (1929 - 1933?) until she couldn't support them anymore and they went into the orphanage.

The relatives didn't get everything, when the children reached the age of 21 (?) they each received $1,100 from a trust fund (possibly setup by court probate ?).
