Tobe Amish

In 1932 the somewhat less conservative Troyer Amish split from the Swartzentrubers and in 1940 the Tobe Church split from the Troyers.

The more progressive group that left the Troyers in 1940 was led by minister Tobias (Tobe) Hochstetler, who was accused of dishonesty in a business dealing.

In 1967 there was another split from which the New Order Tobe Amish emerged.

[1][2] In 2011 the Old Order Tobe Amish had 10 church districts in 4 settlements.

[3] According to Kraybill et al. the defection rate of their young people is 6.1 percent.
