Augustus was given a medical disability discharge from the US Army on April 8, 1878 while serving as a Hospital Steward at Fort Concho, Texas. The medical Colonel of the 10th Cavalry stated that Augustus had been suffering from chronic dysentery with ulceration of the intestine since December 6, 1877 while on duty and it was the opinion of the medical officer that Augustus cannot continue to live in this climate (Texas), and his ultimate recovery will be probably remote under the most favorable circumstances not less than a year.
