Auguste Tuaillon

His major muscular weakness preventing him from taking part in farm work, Auguste earned some money by performing from the age of fifteen as a freak in Luxeuil-les-Bains and Nancy.

In 1893, on the occasion of his call for military recruitment, Augustus was reported by newspapers as "the smallest conscript of France."

In 1897, he became the manager of the weekly newspaper of the cabaret, Les 4 z'Arts, whose chief editor was Émile Goudeau.

[2] On 12 November 1907,[3] after a fortnight of illness, Auguste Tuaillon died of tuberculosis at the age of 34 at the hôpital Lariboisière.

The burial took place at Cimetière parisien de Pantin, where Xavier Privas, another friend of the deceased, said some words.
