Notes:

Augustinus was born on his father's farm near Swedeburg. He was brought up on the farm and then moved with his family to the living quarters above his father's store in Swedeburg. For a time, Augustinus worked in his father's store. His first wife, Hilda Bengtson, died from childbirth complications, three days after their daughter Hilda was born. The baby lived with Augustinus' parents until Augustinus remarried, his second wife being Hilda's sister Hermanda. Hermanda and her siblings were born on their parents' farm. After that marriage, Augustinus, Hermanda and Hilda lived on Augustinus' father's homestead farm where their son Linus was born. Augustinus farmed during this period.

In 1910, Augustinus' sister Theolina and her husband became missionaries and moved to China. Theolina had been managing the Swedeburg store. Augustinus agreed to stop farming and to manage the store. He, Hermanda, Hilda and Linus moved to a small house in Swedeburg.

Upon the death of his father in 1912, Augustinus inherited the 200 acre farm, part of which was the original homestead 80 acres. Although the deed listed a transaction price of $50 an acre, presumably there was no financial obligation incurred with the inheritance. The store in Swedeburg was sold and Augustinus, Hermanda, and the children moved back to the farm. Augustinus rented out the land as he had no great interest in either farming or money. In 1917, Hermanda inherited $5,500 from her father. Augustinus tore down the old farm house in which they were living and built a new house, paying for the material with Hermanda's inheritance. He did most of the work himself.

In 1919, Augustinus and a couple of minister friends went on a driving trip for several months, going west and visiting among other places Yellowstone Park. At another time, he made living space available in the cellar of the house for an old man, who was homeless and liked to tinker. The man was also not very well. The situation became too much for Hermanda and she made it clear that the old man was no longer welcome in their home.

Augustinus was talented with his mind and hands, designing and making equipment for the farm. An intellectual, he liked to read especially philosophy, and would often read until 4 a.m. and sleep until noon. He was not shy about expressing himself and could discuss a variety of issues. He was considered impractical by some.

Augustinus and Hermanda moved to a house in Ceresco in Oct 1936, where they lived through their retirement years.
