Sackschewsky's father died in 1862, in Deutschland when he was 15 years old. Emil was always called by the name of August. August left Posen, Deutschland in 1872, at the age of 25, to come to America. His mother, Heneritta, came to America in 1878, six years later. August was on a sail boat for 11 weeks. They had a lot of hardships, they buried a lot of people on their boat at sea. It is believed that his boat came through the Saint Lawrence River and they got off in Wisconsin. Leo, his son had a letter that he had for years, about all the bad luck Emil had on the ship and in Wisconsin for one year, before they came to York County, in Nebraska. If only we could find the letter. August had two brothers and two sisters, who came to America at a later time. Gottlieb, married, but no children, lived and died in Wisconsin. William never married, lived and died by Thayer, Nebraska. He was born 3-25-1854 and died ?? and is buried beside his mother in the Thayer's Lutheran Church Cemetery. His one sister Ottilia, married, Herman Blum. Heneritta, (sister) married Henry Marquardt. When August came to York, Nebraska, he homesteaded 80 acres, 1872, 2 miles west of Thayer, later his son, Herbert, farmed it. August's cousin, Emily Marquardt, introduced him to Albertina Reich (later changed to Rich) at Lushton, Nebraska. The second time he saw her, they set their wedding. The third time he saw her was their wedding day. For this occasion he walked 23 miles to Lushton. Their wedding was April 17, 1876, the second Easter Day. He was 29 and she was 17. They made their home on the 80 acres. They first lived in a dug out. Then later built a two room frame structure, after they started to out grow the dug out. The house was moved just a little to the west in 1899 and enlarged. At the time there were lots of springs that followed the gully beneath the hill. They always had plenty of fresh water. But over the years they have disappeared. Now all of York County has irrigation wells. August was a fine country man and worked hard. He managed to acquire for himself both German and English in reading and writing. August was born March 7, 1847 and died May 30, 1932 at the age of 85yrs 2 months and 23 days. Albertina was born Sept 18, 1859, and died June 21, 1934 at the age of 74 yrs, 9 months, and 3 days. To this union 14 children were born. The first was stillborn. Ludwig, Otto, Albert, Heneritta, Minnie, August, Arthur, Leo, Matilda, Emma, Wilhelm, Herbert, and Elsie. THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE WAS PRESUMABLY TAKEN FROM A BOOK CALLED: HISTORY OF YORK COUNTY - VOL. II S.J. CLARKE PUB. CO. - CHICAGO - 1921 August Sackschewsky, one of the best known and most prominent farmers of York county, owns three hundred and twenty acres in Thayer township and enjoys an enviable reputation as a successful and representative agriculturist. His prosperity is entirely attributable to his own efforts, for he came to this country almost empty-handed about five decades ago. His birth occurred inDeutschland, March 7, 1847, a son of German parents who were farming people and he was reared on a farm where he followed agricultural pursuit. In 1872, Mr. Sackschewsky immigrated to the United States and following his arrival at the port of New York, went straight through to Wisconsin and worked for one year at railroad construction in that state. In December, 1873, he removed to York county, Nebraska, and in January of the following year came to York county and took up an eighty-acre homestead on section 31, Thayer township. His first abode was a dugout in which he lived for five hears and then erected a two-room frame house, which made domestic life more comfortable. His initial efforts at the raising of crops met with a serious setback owing to the grasshopper visitation and during that period everything growing on the land was destroyed. When the grasshoppers had come to be but a memory his affairs took a successful turn and his agricultural labors proved profitable. He made some fine improvements on his place including the planting of trees, and as he prospected he added more land to the original homestead, at the time of his retirement to Thayer in 1920 being the owner of three hundred and twenty acres on which he has four sets of buildings, the whole forming one of the choicest pieces of property in his part of the county. He is a progressive business man, wideawake, alert and energetic, and carries forward to successful completion whatever he undertakes. On April 17, 1876, Mr. Sackschewsky was united in marriage to Albertina Reich, who accompanied her parents from Deutschland about1870, her father some short time afterwards taking a homestead in York county. She recalls that antelopes were numerous at that date, and between her home and York -- a distance of fifteen miles -- there was but one other family. To the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Sackschewsky the following children have been born: Ludwig C.; Otto H.; Albert, deceased; Henrietta; Minne; August; Arthur; Leo; Matilda; Emma; deceased; William A.; Herbert and Else. The family are regular attendants on the services of Lutheran church, in the faith of which the parents were reared. He gives his political allegiance to the republican party, but has never manifested a desire for public office. He has always found time to cooperate in plans and measures for the public good and has proved himself a most loyal and devoted citizen from the date of his first landing on American soil. THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE WAS SUPPLIED TO ME BY MARVIN SACKSCHEWSKY. HIS NOTES INDICATED THAT THIS WAS TAKEN FROM A BOOK CALLED YORK HISTORY BOOK - FAMILY SECTION - POSSIBLY PAGE 44. !Name: Alternate spelling Sackschewsky / Zakrzewski There is a Dr. Richard Zakrzewski, Professor of Paleontolgy, Ft. Hays University, Hays, Kansas. He is also curator of the Ft. Hays Univ. Museum. He identified the sylables of the name Zakrzewski as: Za-krzew-ski. "Za" is a preposition meaning: for, behind, after, in, by, on, under, at; "krzew" means shrub or bush. The Polish spelling "krzew" would be spelled in English "ckschew". "rz" in Polish has a "sch" sound in English. The gutteral "k" in Polish is transliterated as the "ck" in English. The Polish ending "ski" is reference to a locality. The ending "ka" is a femine ending. Therefore the sylables of Sackschewsky would technically be: Sa-ckschew-sky. Dr. Zakrzewski humorously tells his students that the name means "bush wacker". !Family: August was a cousin of Frederick Block. !History:. Emil August Sackschewsky's father died in Deutschland whenhe was 15 years old. Emil was always called by the name "August". August left Posen Province, Deutschland and came to America in 1872. August's mother, Henrietta, came to America in 1878, six years later. August was on a sail boat 11 weeks. It is believed that his boat came through the Saint Lawrence River and landed somewhere in Wisconsin. He stayed one year in WI then went to York, Nebraska. August also had two other brothers and two sisters who came to America at a different time later. The brothers names were Gottlieb and William and the names of the sisters were: Ottilia (Mrs. Herman) Blum, and Henrietta (Mrs. Henry) Marquardt. !Church: The family regularly attended Lutheran worship services first at Saint Paul's Lutheran, Thayer; and then at Zion Lutheran, five miles to the East. !Politics: August was a Republican but had no desire to run for public office. He always cooperated and supported programs for the public good.

August met Albertina Rich at Lushton, Nebraska. His cousin, Emily Marquardttold him of this girl. The second time that August saw Albertine he set their wedding date. The third time he saw her was when they got married. For this occasion he walked 23 miles to Lushton. Their wedding date was the second Easter day, 17 Apr 1876. August and Albertina made their home two miles west of Thayer. They first lived in a dug out. Then later they built a two room frame structure. This was built east of the present home, which was built in 1899. Later they moved this structure to its present place where they increased the size of the house. August Sackschewsky, one of the best known and most prominent farmers of York County, owns three hundred and twenty acres in Thayer Twp and enjoys an enviable reputation as a successful and representative agriculturist.

After the grasshoppers August was able to earn a profit from his farming. He improved his farm and planted trees. As he prospered he bought more land.
