Hopedale, IL 1868-John Augsburger was born in Hopedale in 1868, son of Noah Augsburger (1817-1903) and Magdalena Schrock (1824-1914). Both his parents were born in Germany. Noah served as a bishop and minister of Hopedale Amish Mennonite Church (1862-1876 era). After Lizzie's death John and the two children continued to live in the same house for several years with the help of a hired hand, Dena Griner, who cared for the children and household duties. In 1903 his father Noah died near Hopedale. It was probably then that the family moved to Hopedale and lived with hired help and John's mother, Magdalena, caring for the children. The following year, in 1904, John married a single lady, Fannie Wyse, from Wayland, Iowa. They had three daughters, one died in infancy. After John's death of flu during the 1917 worldwide epidemic, Fannie and her two daughters, accompanied by Ella, moved back to Wayland. It was there Ella met her husband, Fred Swartzendruber (1895-1981).John and Lizzie's children, Ella and Allen, were willed an 80-acre farm close to Noah Augsburger's 160-acre farm, Ella (1897-1974) and her new husband began their married life there in 1921. They had four children: Esther Augsburger Glick, Frederick J., Edith Augsburger Nafziger, and John Dale. Allen (1894-1927) lived on the Noah Augsburger farm,
a centennial farm to this day. Allen married Louise Horsch (1897-1979) in 1918, daughter of Henry Horsch and Katherine Good of Fisher, and died in 1927 of appendicitis. They had no children.
