  • His surname was listed as "Rull" on the company roster (both "List of Passengers," and manifest). On the PEF Ledger, his name was listed as "August Kull."

In the Chipman notebook, his name is listed as August Johnson. In the company's record of teamsters by ward, it is recorded as "Aug. Anderson" from the Tooele Ward.
