August Warembourg Family Ownership, 1903-1931 August Warembourg (1847-1931) purchased the five lots in 1903. He and his wife, Mary Languille (1848-1914), had been born in France and came to Louisville in the 1880s with their three oldest children, all boys. The 1904 directory for Louisville shows that he and his wife, Mary, were living at 516 Lincoln at that time, with the exact description of their residence being "Lincoln btw. Pine & Hutchinson." August was a coal miner. The directory indicates that their sons Louis and Joe, who were also miners, were living at home with them. Their youngest son, Frank, would have also been part of the household. Their oldest son, August Jr., was living elsewhere. At the time of the 1910 census, the residents of the house at 516 Lincoln were August and Marie, with their sons Joe and Frank. Census information for August Warembourg in 1920 could not be located. In 1927, then approaching 80 years old, August Warembourg (with the name transcribed in the County records as "Warenbourg") transferred ownership of the five lots to his son Frank, for "one dollar and love and affection." August then went to live with Frank on Frank's farm outside Louisville. Directories suggest that in 1921 and 1923, the residents of the house were Frank's brother August Warembourg, Jr. and his family. In 1931, Frank "Warenbourg" sold the five lots to Louis Zinge. Zinge Family Ownership, 1931-1958 Louis Zinge purchased the five lots in 1931. Louis (1888-1957) had come from Hungary in about 1909 and first settled in Wyoming. His first wife, Teresa Nagy, who was also from Hungary, died in Wyoming in 1921. Their children were Joseph; Louis, Jr.; Julius; Charles; Mary; Teresa; and Anton. Louis then married Mary Emblanc (1905-1986), in 1929 and they had three more children: Lois, James Roger, and Barbara. Mary was from France and was a part of Louisville's French population. Records indicate that Louis also raised a son of Mary's from her earlier marriage, Leroy. Anton Zinge and Leroy Zinge both served in World War II. In Louisville, Louis Zinge worked as a coal miner.
