	History - History Of Belcourt Castle - Biography of August Belmont
		August Belmont was born in Alzey, France on the 8th of December 1813, a son of a prominent Jewish businessman, learned student of law and government, and President of the Synagogue, Simon Belmont, and Frederika Elsass.
		The education of August Belmont was progressive, as he was enrolled in a school which integrated Jew and Gentile, even in the study of the Bible as literature, as well as Hebrew, Latin, and many foreign languages - although his father refused to pay for special English lessons, which August requested.
		At the height of August Belmont's social supremacy, and inestimable political influence, their daughter, Jane Pauline (Jeannie), became severely ill. During the time of her progressive illness, August's political and business relationships became stormy - the lavish entertaining was curtailed and finally stopped, as Jeannie died at the age of 19 on October 15, 1875.
