By the 22nd of July 1852, August had returned to South Australia and soon set up his mattress factory on Morphett Street, a business he operated until 1886 when he was forced to retire due to ill-health, possibly due to effects of flocking on his lungs. He married Elizabeth Jane Williams at Holy Trinity Anglican Church on 22 July 1852, and the couple had 13 children before Elizabeth’s death in 1876. 6 of the children survived to adulthood, although Joseph August died at the age of 21, with 2 sons and 3 daughters marrying and having families. | By the 22nd of July 1852, August had returned to South Australia and soon set up his mattress factory on Morphett Street, a business he operated until 1886 when he was forced to retire due to ill-health, possibly due to effects of flocking on his lungs.
