The first 6 of their reported 7 children born Eggiwil, Canton Bern. The family came to America about 1869 and settled near Peoria, Illinois. Husband Jacob, age 49, a cheeese-maker and dairyman, died in a blizzard and was buried on 26 Feb. in Springdale Cemetery (near Peoria), a month after his death.
Known children were:
Mary [b. 28 May 1853, d. abt. April 1870].
Frederick Frederick [b. 2 July 1854, Switzerland, d. 13 Nov. 1914, Pellsville, Illinois].
Rosa [15 Oct. 1855-1929, buried near Milford, Indiana; married to John Weyenette (d. between 1908 and 1926 in Missouri) and Ed Haab; did not have any children].
Elizabeth [b. 19 Aug. 1857, d. unknown; married John Schumai; both went to California where they died; no children].
Jacob Frederick [b. 18 Aug. 1859, d. about 1916 ?, believed to have married and had children].
John Frederick [b. 26 Nov. 1866, d. 19 June 1926 at Rankin, Illinois; married Emma Strauss at Fountain Creek, Illinois on 1 May 1891 (Emma b. 20 Oct. 1867 Berlin, Germany; d. 5 Aug. 1951 at Rankin, Illinois, bur. Rankin Union Cemetery, Vermillion Co., Illinois); lived at one time near Peoria, later at Roanoke, Cissna Park, and finally at Rankin, Illinois; John Frederick was a farmer and later a railroad clerk; John and Emma were the parents of 11 children].
Mary [or Marie, b. 26 June 1871, d. 14 June 1891 (dates uncertain as she is also listed as having died at age 21), married Emil Baumgartner; only child named Clara Baumgartner, married Scriver, later lived in Ottumwa, Iowa].
Magdalena's place of burial is presently uncertain; family records state, "She died in 1890 near Fountain Creek and was buried in what is known as Eisenman Cemetery, a tiny semi-private plot in a pasture near a creek." This burial site is reported to be near Peoria, Illinois, but is probably the Old Apostolic Christian Cemetery, near Cissna Park, Iroquois Co., Illinois. Her name may be the one on the monument there, as seen here. (Without dates, it is impossible to say if the name on this monument belongs on this memorial.) "Fountain Creek" is the name of a township in southern Iroquois Co., Illinois, just east of the town of Cissna Park.
