| 359 | According to the death certificate, Clay Hardin Lynch died at St. Luke's Hospital in Davenport (Scott County), Iowa on 2 January 1925 at 6:10 am. Dr. Paul A. White of Davenport had been attending Clay from 8 August 1924 until his death. The cause of death was listed as "carcinoma of prostate; metastasis to left hip and femur." In response to the question "Where was disease contracted if not at place of death?" Dr. White wrote: Moline, Ill. An operation had been performed on 20 August 1924. No autopsy was performed, but the diagnosis was confirmed by operation and x-ray. Clay's obituary appeared in the Edwardsville Intelligencer, of Edwardsville, Illinois, on Friday, 2 January 1925 (this transcription is courtesy of Kelly Miller-Collins). WAR VETERAN DIES C. H. Lynch Passes Away At Davenport, Iowa Services to Be From Residence of Dr. Fiegenbaum Taps sounded this morning for Clay H. Lynch, Justice of the Peace for Edwardsville Township, a Civil War veteran and one of the well-known residents of this city and vicinity. His death occurred this morning at 5:30 o'clock at St. Luke's Hospital at Davenport, Ia., where he has been a patient since August 8. An injury sustained during the summer when struck by an automobile, a malignant growth, which developed later, a fractured leg sustained a few days ago, contributed to the death and caused his case to become a very complex one. Just thirteen months to the day, on December 2, 1923, Mrs. Lynch expired at her home here. A short time afterwards he went to Wood River to make his home with a daughter, Mrs. E. E. Endicott and he made daily trips to Edwardsville to look after his business affairs and matters in his court. During the summer he was accidentally struck by an automobile at Wood River and had a partial recovery from the injury. Other ailments began developing a short time afterwards and the growth is believed to be an outcome of the accident. Later in the summer he went to Moline, Ill., to visit a daughter and he had a decided change for the worst. He was take[n] to the hospital. On November 8, he was being moved from the hospital to the office of the attending surgeon for x-ray pictures. While standing alone his leg gave way and he fell. The bone had splintered and that added the final complication. Relatives had been advised of his critical condition but had hopes of his recovery. Mrs. Endicott received a telegram last night that he was not so [sic] and it was followed with another this morning of the end. The body will be started for Edwardsville this afternoon and will arrive here Saturday morning. It will be take[n] to the home of Dr. E. W. Fiegenbaum and funeral services are to be held from there Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. M. C. Foltz will have charge. Burial will be at Woodlawn Cemetery. Justice Lynch was a native of Ft. Russell Township, his parents being among the early settlers in one of the pioneer communities of Illinois. He was born on a farm north of Edwardsville on July 13, 1846 and had attained the age of 78 years, 6 months and 19 days. He was a youth of about 16 years of age when the Civil War started and he was one of the many Madison County youths who joined the Union forces. The time spent in the service and afterwards in attending [sic] were the only periods he was out of the county for an extended time. He was a member of a company and regiment which saw considerable hard service and was with Sherman on his march to the sea. His mother died when he was three years of age and his father lost his life during the Civil War. Returning home after the war he made his home with Judge Gillespie, reading law under him and who later sent him to study law at Ann Arbor, Michigan. He practiced law more or less, used it in his business and the legal knowledge was especially beneficial while serving as a Justice of the Peace. At one time he and the late Moses Sherman operated a commission house here. On March 20, 1884, he was married to Miss Martha L. Fiegenbaum and the ceremony being performed at the residence of Dr. Fiegenbaum. He is survived by six children. They are: Mrs. Everett Endicott and Edward Lynch of Wood River; I C Lynch of Louisville, Ky; Mrs. Perry Waite David, Reynolds, Illinois, Mrs. Ira Cook of Moline, Illinois and Harris Lynch of Edwardsville. His only brother, Daniel A. Lynch died two years ago. He is survived by a sister, Mrs. Mary Sheppard of Springfield, Illinois and three half sisters, Mrs. Matilda Womack, Collinsville, Mrs. Robert Harbison, St. Louis and Mrs. J W Judd. Judge Lynch held several public offices during his life. He is a former alderman, served Madison County as State's Attorney, was public administrator for Madison County and has lately been justice of the peace. He was a member of the Odd Fellows for many years and a member of the lodge will take part in the funeral services. He took a great interest in the activities of Edwardsville Post G. A. R. for many years, helped hold the organization together as the ranks were depleted and has been treasurer of the post. A further notice was published in the Edwardsville Intelligencer, of Edwardsville, Illinois, on Monday, 5 January 1925 (this transcription is courtesy of Kelly Miller-Collins). C. H. LYNCH BURIED SIX RELATIVES SERVED AS PALLBEARERS SUNDAY Odd Fellows and American Legion Have Parts in Service Funeral Services were conducted yesterday afternoon from the residence of Dr. E. W. Fiegenbaum for Justice of the Peace C. H. Lynch whose death occurred last week at St. Luke's Hospital at Davenport, Ia., where he was a patient the past five months, undergoing a surgical operation for a malignant growth. A fall during November shattered a bone in one of his legs and was the result of the final complication. The funeral was a big one, a large number of men being present. They included members of Edwardsville Lodge of Odd Fellows, Edwardsville Post American Legion, several Civil War veterans and friends. Rev. M. C. Foltz, pastor of St. John's M. E. church had charge of the religious services. His subject was, "The Meaning of Life." It was taken from the verse, "For what is your life," found in James 4-16. Three vocal selections were rendered at the services at the home. Mrs. George W. Meyer sang a solo, "My Ain Countrie." Mrs. Meyer, Miss Caroline Wolf, J. G. Delicate and Chas. A. Sheppard composed a quartet which sang the other two selections. They were, "Rock of Ages," and "On Jordan's Stormy Banks." The Odd Fellows and American Legion had charge at the grave. Ray Stullken as noble grand and George C. Stullken as chaplain had the principal part for the Odd Fellows. Judge Wilbur A. Trares, as chaplain, gave the last rites of the American Legion .

| 365 | According to the record of the marriage license filed with the Warren County Recorder of Deeds filed on 28 February, L. H. H. Winter, minister of the Gospel married Herman and Alma at New Truxton. Rev. Winter was no doubt Louis Hermann Heinrich Winter, a pastor in the German Methodist Episcopal Church and Alma's elder brother. In 1906, Rev. Winter had married Alma's older sister, Meta Chritina Winter, and Heinrich Friedrich Adolph Mordt. Herman and Alma lived on a farm near Truxton, Missouri until 1946, when they moved to Troy, Missouri. They were the parents of fourteen children. | Family F528

| 367 | According to their application for a marriage license and the marriage license, Henry A. Mordt, age 37, of Hawk Point, Lincoln County, Missouri, and Meta C. Winter, age 22, of Truxton, Lincoln County, Missouri, were married at Truxton by Rev. L. H. H. Winter. Rev. Winter was almost certainly Meta's elder brother, Louis Heinrich Hermann Winter, a pastor in the German Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1908, Rev. Winter would also officiate at the marriage of Meta's younger sister, Alma F. Winter and Herman A. Luelf. Following their marriage, Henry and Meta lived together on a farm in Camp Branch Township, Warren County, Missouri, not far from Hawk Point, Lincoln County, Missouri. All of their eleven children were born at this home. | Family F527

| 369 | Adolph was about 40 years old when he emigrated from the Hohne section of Lengerich, in the Province of Westphalia, Kingdom of Prussia with his wife, Christine, age 37, and their first five children (ages 13 to less than 1 year). The family is reported to have disembarked at New Orleans, Louisiana in late June 1834 and to have traveled up the Mississippi, arriving at St. Louis, Missouri about 3 or 4 July. They appear to have settled initially in Femme Osage Township, St. Charles County, Missouri. They later moved to nearby Hopewell, in Warren County, Missouri. Around 1850, Adolph, Christine and at least two sons still living at home settled near Wapello, Louisa County, Iowa. | Fiegenbaum, Adolph Heinrich (I221)
|
| 370 | Adolph's parents, Friedrich and Louisa (Otto) Fiegenbaum, have occasionally been identified as residing in Clear Lake, Steuben County, Indiana sometime between 1854 and 1856. In fact, Friedrich, in a autobiographical letter to his children, wrote that the family "moved to Clear Lake, Indiana, forty miles south of Chicago in Lake County, Indiana." This may be the source of the confusion. Clear Lake, Indiana is located in Steuben County, in the extreme northeast corner of the state. It is over 190 miles east of Chicago. However, Cedar Lake, Indiana is in Lake County and is approximately 40 miles south of Chicago. Other sources confirm the Lake County location. I have been persuaded by these arguments. | Fiegenbaum, Adolph Heinrich (I52)

| 371 | Although obituaries for Hermann Wilhelm Fiegenbaum and Sophia (Gusewelle) Fiegenbaum and also a newspaper account of their golden wedding anniversary all report that they were married at St. Louis on 27 September 1849, a record of the marriage, filed and recorded on 23 October 1849 at St. Louis, certified that Rev Henry Könecke, a Minister of the Gospel, "joined in wedlock" Reverend William Figenbaum [sic], of Highland, Madison County, Illinois, and Miss Sophia Gisewelle [sic], of St. Louis, Missouri on 1 October 1849. The following is a transcription supplied by Frances Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts of an account of the golden wedding anniversary celebration for "Rev. and Mrs. William Fiegenbaum." Gretchen Leenerts reported that this account had appeared on 29 September 1899 in the Edwardsville Intelligencer, of Edwardsville, Illinois. Rev. and Mrs. William Fiegenbaum celebrated their golden wedding Wednesday. As the anniversary, so was the day, bright and fair, and with sunshine as clear and golden as the purest ingot of the precious metal that ever ran from a crucible. Every circumstance smiled upon the anniversary and combined to make it a joyous one. The venerable couple were in the best of health and spirits, friends old and new were there to greet them and wish them well, and it is safe to say that no one of all the throng derived as much pleasure by half from the affair as did the guests of honor. The celebration occurred at the residence on Main Street of their son, Dr. E. W. Fiegenbaum. The house and grounds had been lavishly decorated in honor of the event. Taking advantage of the season, every corner and nook of the residence blossomed with golden rod, and its appropriateness was remarked upon all sides. At night the handsome lawn was lighted with many electric lights, forming a very pretty picture. According to the invitations the festivities began at 2:30, but in reality they commenced at noon, when the family gathered at dinner. Forty relatives sat down to the meal. Rev. and Mrs. Fiegenbaum occupied the places of honor. Rev. H. C. Jacoby made an address, the family united in singing a verse and then after grace came the discussion of the meal. In the afternoon the guests began to arrive, and they came until the house was packed. Some to spend the afternoon, others who could tarry but a little while dropped in to pay their compliments, listen to the music and then return to business or other pursuits. Rev. Jacoby delivered an address in German and was followed with short addresses in English by Past Presiding Elder W. E. Ravenscroft and Dr. J. L. Cunningham. In the evening there was an address by Dr. J. A. Autrim, of St. Andrew's. One feature which was especially pleasing to the assemblage was the music. Schwarz orchestra played throughout the celebration, concluding with the "Golden Wedding March." During intervals the Fiegenbaum Mandolin Club rendered choice selections, and there was vocal music by the members of the German Methodist Choir. It was thought that perhaps all the members of the German Methodist Church could not be reached by mailing invitations, so a general invitation was extended from the pulpit, and the members were present almost without exception. Among the many handsome presents was a $10 gold piece, accompanied by a congratulatory poem from the Church Society. Rev. and Mrs. Fiegenbaum have not had uneventful lives as are usually supposed to tend to long life. Both are natives of Prussia. Rev. Fiegenbaum came to this country at an early age. He was licensed as an exhorter in 1847 and the following year was ordained to the ministry. His first charge was at Highland, and after the completion of his first year there he went to St. Louis to claim his bride, Miss Sophia Gusewelle, who had been in America at that time about a year. They were married on September 27 in the afternoon at the German Methodist Church on Washington Street then one of the most pretentious structures in St. Louis. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. Henry Koeneke. Rev. Koeneke and Mrs. Timpkin, of Peoria, who were the witnesses to the wedding, are still living, as is also Mrs. Dora Lahrman, of St. Joseph, Missouri, the lady who tendered them a wedding supper. At that time ministers were allowed but two years as a charge, so at the completion of the year following their wedding, Rev. and Mrs. Fiegenbaum were assigned to a new town. They went to Watertown, Wisconsin, driving overland all the way. Then they were transferred to Booneville, Missouri, and during the forty or more years following, traversed nearly the whole of Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois. Rev. Fiegenbaum's service for the Master covered a period of over 50 years, and he still preaches when occasion demands. The family is noted for the fact of its connection with the ministry. The three brothers, Henry of St. Joseph, Missouri; Fred of Oregon, Missouri; and Rudolph of Garner, Iowa, were all ministers, the former two now superannuated. The two sisters, Mrs. Minna Winter of Omaha, Nebraska and Mrs. Katherine Wellemeyer of Garner, Iowa, each married a minister. Henry Fiegenbaum and Mrs. Wellemeyer celebrated golden weddings a year ago, and Fred's occurs next year. All the children of Rev. and Mrs. Fiegenbaum were present with their families, 19 of their 21 grandchildren being there. The children are: Mrs. Charles F. Blume of Winona, Minnesota; Mrs. Jacoby, wife of Rev. H. C. Jacoby, pastor of the Taylor Avenue German Methodist Church, St. Louis; Dr. J. H. Fiegenbaum of Alton, and Dr. E. W. Fiegenbaum, Fred Fiegenbaum and Mrs. C. H. Lynch of this city. Other out of town guests were: Mrs. Christian Kaeser of Pittsfield, a sister of Mrs. Fiegenbaum, who was present at the wedding 50 years ago; Mrs. Henry Krome, of near Wanda, who was seatmate with Mrs. Fiegenbaum at school in Germany 62 years ago; Mr. and Mrs. John Zimmerman, Mrs. Brinkman and Mrs. Goesch of Bunker Hill and Mr. and Mrs. Sam Pitts of Alton. | Family F98

| 372 | Among the various family researchers, the exact number and order of Johann's given names has not been resolved. Johann's family was living in Wester at the time of his birth. Wester is one of the three 'Bauernshaften' in the village of Ladbergen. A 'Bauerschaft' is an ancient grouping of farms that emerged from the earliest agricultural settlements, and comprised the earliest administrative units of a community. Until the early 1960s, Ladbergen had three Bauernshaften: Hölter, Overbeck and Wester. These settlement areas are still recognized in present day Ladbergen. Recently, the residential sections of the village center have become known by street names and a fourth section of Ladbergen, called 'Dorf' [village] has been created. For information on the ancestors of Johann H. W. Aufderhaar, visit the web site of Dr. Richard Cochran at (http://library.ferris.edu/~cochranr/gen/ ) (as of August 1999). During the Napoleonic era, from about 1808 to 1810, Ladbergen, as part of the County of Tecklenburg (Grafschaft Tecklenburg), came under the sovereignty of the Grand Duchy of Berg (French: Grand-duché de Berg; German: Großherzogtum Berg), a client state of the First French Empire. In 1811 borders were redrawn again and Grafschaft Tecklenburg was incorporated directly into the First French Empire as part of the Département Ems-Supérieur (German: Departement der Oberen Ems). After Napoleon's defeat, Ladbergen was liberated from French occupation and was at first governed provisionally and then formally by the Kingdom of Prussia as part of the Province of Westphalia (German: Provinz Westfalen, Königreich Preußen). | Aufderhaar, Johann Heinrich Wilhelm (I192)

| 373 | An index of burials through December 2002 at Mount Hope Cemetery published in 2003 by the Brown County Genealogical Society (Hiawatha, Kansas) lists a James H. Wilson, born on 18 January 1924 and died on 23 March 1976. This date of death is in marked contrast to information published in an obituary for James' wife, Mary M. Wilson, where the death is said to have occurred on 22 August 1994. | Wilson, James H. (I1083)

| 374 | Anna Christine Elsabein (about age 26), her husband Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Bierbaum (about age 29), and their only child at the time, Heinrich Wilhelm Bierbaum (less than 1 year old), emigrated from Ladbergen, Province of Westphalia, the Kingdom of Prussia. Accompanying them was Johann's sister, Catharina Sophia Wilhelmine Bierbaum. This family group was joined by her married sister, her husband and their three children, and also by her parents and their two unmarried children. In all, at least 13 members of this extended family left Ladbergen together in 1841. They departed Germany from the port of Bremen on the bark Leontine. Of the 102 persons on board, 56 were identified on the passenger list as former residents of Ladbergen. Four other persons were from the nearby towns of Brochterbeck and Lengerich. The Leontine arrived at Baltimore, Maryland on 28 June 1841. The Fiegenbaums, Aufderhaars and Bierbaums traveled further west until reaching and settling in Warren County, Missouri. | Fiegenbaum, Anna Christine Elsabein (I187)

This family group was joined by Anna Elisabeth's married sister, her husband, their child (less than 1 year old), and her husband's unmarried sister. Also in the party were Anna Elisabeth's parents and 2 of their younger, unmarried children. In all, at least 13 members of this extended family left Ladbergen together in 1841. They departed Germany from the port of Bremen on the bark Leontine. Of the 102 persons on board, 56 were identified on the passenger list as former residents of Ladbergen. Four other persons were from the nearby towns of Brochterbeck and Lengerich. The Leontine arrived at Baltimore, Maryland on 28 June 1841. The Fiegenbaums, Aufderhaars and Bierbaums traveled further west until reaching and settling in Warren County, Missouri. | Fiegenbaum, Anna Elisabeth (I186)
|
| 376 | Anna Elisabeth's family was living at Overbeck 16 at the time of her birth. Overbeck is one of the three 'Bauernshaften' in the village of Ladbergen. A 'Bauerschaft' is an ancient grouping of farms that emerged from the earliest agricultural settlements, and comprised the earliest administrative units of a community. Until the early 1960s, Ladbergen had three Bauernshaften: Hölter, Overbeck and Wester. These settlement areas are still recognized in present day Ladbergen. Recently, the residential sections of the village center have become known by street names and a fourth section of Ladbergen, called 'Dorf' [village] has been created. The number 16 would indicate that this was the 16th farm established in this Bauerschaft. During the Napoleonic era, from about 1808 to 1810, Ladbergen, as part of the County of Tecklenburg (Grafschaft Tecklenburg), came under the sovereignty of the Grand Duchy of Berg (French: Grand-duché de Berg; German: Großherzogtum Berg), a client state of the First French Empire. In 1811 borders were redrawn again and Grafschaft Tecklenburg was incorporated directly into the First French Empire as part of the Département Ems-Supérieur (German: Departement der Oberen Ems). After Napoleon's defeat, Ladbergen was liberated from French occupation and was at first governed provisionally and then formally by the Kingdom of Prussia as part of the Province of Westphalia (German: Provinz Westfalen, Königreich Preußen). | Fiegenbaum, Anna Elisabeth (I186)

| 377 | Anna entered Iowa Wesleyan University (known as Iowa Wesleyan College since 1912) in 1873 after finishing at Mt. Pleasant High School. She graduated with a B.S. degree in 1877. She was member of the Ruthean Literary Society and the Iowa Alpha Chapter of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. | Bradrick, Anna Birdsall (I330)
|
| 378 | Anna was 40 years old when she left Germany with her husband, Herman Wiethoff (at age 47) and their three sons, Hermann (at age 19); Heinrich Wilhelm (at age 12); and Heinrich Wilhelm (not more than 7 months of age). They made the trip together with Hermann Hünefeld (at age 27); his wife, Christina (at age 21); and their daughter, Catherine (between 7 and 14 months old), also from Ladbergen, Prussia. The trip could not have begun before May 1845, because Heinrich Wilhelm Wiethoff was born in Ladbergen towards the end of that month. The two families were related through the adult women, who were 4th cousins once removed. | Fiegenbaum, Anna Catherine Elisabeth (I1576)

| 380 | As enumerated in the 1920 U.S. census for St. Louis, Elmer, age 5, was living at 1126 South Thirteenth Street with his parents and his three siblings: Ruth, age 14; George, age 12; and Le Roy, age 7. The enumerator identified all of the children as having been born in Minnesota, like their mother, but this would seem to be a mistake. Other sources seem to indicate that all the children were born in Missouri. Also living in the home was Mike Eckert, identified as a 50 year old, single, brother-in-law of the head of the household, who worked as a bottler in a brewery. | Mühlemann, Elmer P. (I5356)

| 386 | At the time of their marriage, Johann was 24 years, 4 months and 11 days old; Catharina was 31 years 9 months and 3 days old. At the time of the births of each of their children, the father and mother were the following ages, respectively: Hermann Heinrich, 25 years, 4 days and 29 days & 32 years, 9 months and 21 days; Johann Henrich, 27 years and 8 months & 35 years and 22 days; Cord, 30 years, 10 months and 15 days & 38 years, 3 months and 7 days; Anna Elisabeth, 34 years, 2 months and 7 days & 41 years, 7 months and 9 days; Anna Elsabein, 38 years, 4 months and 13 days & 45 years, 9 months and 5 days. Lieselotte (Freese) Fiegenbaum, of Ladbergen, surmises that Catherina Elisabeth Grotholtmann was a sister to Anna Elsabein Grotholtmann (1746-1818), who married Hermann Wilhelm Fiegenbaum (1745-1813) on 5 August 1770. | Family F5
|
| 387 | Catherine (Hagen) Fiegenbaum emigrated from Ladbergen with her extended family, a total of at least 13 people. She (at age 54), her husband (at age 53) and her two youngest children (at ages 21 and 18) are identified as one group. Her two older daughters were already married by 1841. Anna Elisabeth (Fiegenbaum) Aufderhaar (b. 1811) and Anna Christine (Fiegenbaum) Bierbaum (b. 1815), along with their husbands and the children born prior to the departure from Germany, are identified as traveling under their husbands' names. Also included in the group was Sophia Bierbaum (age 18), sister of Anna Christine's husband. Catherine Fiegenbaum's other son, Heinrich Adolf (b. 1814), immigrated to the USA in 1843. The entire extended family departed Germany from the port of Bremen on the bark Leontine. Of the 102 persons on board, 56 were identified on the passenger list as former residents of Ladbergen. Four other persons were from the nearby towns of Brochterbeck and Lengerich. The Leontine arrived at Baltimore, Maryland on 28 June 1841. The Fiegenbaums, Aufderhaars and Bierbaums traveled further west and settled in Warren County, Missouri. | Hagen, Catherina Elsabein (I185)
|
| 388 | Catherine was between 7 and 14 months old when she left Germany with her father, Hermann Hünefeld (at age 27) and her mother, Christina (at age 21). Her family traveled with at least one other family that they knew: Herman Wiethoff (at age 47); his wife, Anna (born Fiegenbaum; at age 40); and their three sons, Hermann (at age 19); Heinrich Wilhelm (at age 12); and Heinrich Wilhelm (not more than 7 months of age). The trip could not have begun before May 1845, because Heinrich Wilhelm Wiethoff was born in Ladbergen, Prussia towards the end of that month. The two families were related through the adult women, who were 4th cousins once removed. | Hünefeld, Catherine Sophie (I1582)

| 391 | Christian Etling enlisted on 2 September 1861 at St. Louis in the First Regiment, US Reserve Corps, Missouri Infantry, serving in Company H under Captain Leonard. He entered as a Corporal and left service with the rank of Sergeant. He was discharged on 23 June 1862 at St. Louis because of an inguinal hernia. | Etling, Christian (I1322)
|
| 392 | Christina was 21 years old when she left Germany with her husband, Hermann Hünefeld (at age 27) and their daughter, Catherine (between 7 and 14 months old). They traveled with another family from Ladbergen that they knew: Herman Wiethoff (at age 47); his wife, Anna (born Fiegenbaum; at age 40); and their three sons, Hermann (at age 19); Heinrich Wilhelm (at age 12); and Heinrich Wilhelm (not more than 7 months of age). The trip could not have begun before May 1845, because Heinrich Wilhelm Wiethoff was born in Ladbergen, Prussia towards the end of that month. The two families were related through the adult women, who were 4th cousins once removed. | Fiegenbaum, Christine Maria (I225)
|
| 393 | Christina's family was living at Wester 21 at the time of her birth. Wester is one of the three 'Bauernshaften' in the village of Ladbergen. A 'Bauerschaft' is an ancient grouping of farms that emerged from the earliest agricultural settlements, and comprised the earliest administrative units of a community. Until the early 1960s, Ladbergen had three Bauernshaften: Hölter, Overbeck and Wester. These settlement areas are still recognized in present day Ladbergen. Recently, the residential sections of the village center have become known by street names and a fourth section of Ladbergen, called 'Dorf' [village] has been created. The number 21 would indicate that this was the 21st farm established in this Bauerschaft. | Fiegenbaum, Christine Elisabeth (I188)
|
| 394 | Christine emigrated from Ladbergen, Province of Westphalia, the Kingdom of Prussia at the age of about 1½ years. She traveled with her father, Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Aufderhaar (about age 32), her mother, Anna Elisabeth Fiegenbaum (about age 29), and two siblings (about 8 and 4 years old). This family group was joined by her mother's married sister, her husband, their child (less than 1 year old), and his unmarried aunt. Also in the party was Christine's maternal grandparents and 2 of their younger, unmarried children. In all, at least 13 members of this extended family left Ladbergen together in 1841. They departed Germany from the port of Bremen on the bark Leontine. Of the 102 persons on board, 56 were identified on the passenger list as former residents of Ladbergen. Four other persons were from the nearby towns of Brochterbeck and Lengerich. The Leontine arrived at Baltimore, Maryland on 28 June 1841. The Fiegenbaums, Aufderhaars and Bierbaums traveled further west until reaching and settling in Warren County, Missouri. | Aufderhaar, Christine Elisabeth (I198)
|
| 395 | Christine Fiegenbaum celebrated her 22nd birthday during her voyage from Ladbergen to the USA. She traveled with her father (age 53), mother (age 54) and younger brother (age 18). Her family was accompanied by two other, related families. Her married sister, Anna Elisabeth (Fiegenbaum) Aufderhaar (age 29), her husband, Johann Aufderhaar (age 32) and their three oldest children (ages 8, 4, and less than 2 years) also made the voyage. The third family consisted of her other married sister, Anna Christine (Fiegenbaum) Bierbaum (age 26), her husband, Johann Bierbaum (age 28) and their child (age 1 year), as well as Johann's sister, Sophia Bierbaum (age 18). By 1843, when Christine's older brother, Heinrich (at age 27), emigrated, the entire family had left Germany. In all, at least 13 members of this extended family left Ladbergen together in 1841. They departed Germany from the port of Bremen on the bark Leontine. Of the 102 persons on board, 56 were identified on the passenger list as former residents of Ladbergen. Four other persons were from the nearby towns of Brochterbeck and Lengerich. The Leontine arrived at Baltimore, Maryland on 28 June 1841.

|
| 396 | Christine was about 37 years old when she emigrated from the Hohne section of Lengerich, in the Province of Westphalia, Kingdom of Prussia with her husband, Adolph, about age 40, and their first five children (ages 13 to less than 1 year). Christine's sister, Maria, also made the trip with them. The family is reported to have disembarked at New Orleans, Louisiana in late June 1834 and to have traveled up the Mississippi, arriving at St. Louis, Missouri about 3 or 4 July. They appear to have settled initially in Femme Osage Township, St. Charles County, Missouri. They later moved to nearby Hopewell, in Warren County, Missouri. Around 1850, Adolph, Christine and at least two sons still living at home settled near Wapello, Louisa County, Iowa. | Peterjohann, Christine Elisabeth (I227)
|
| 397 | Christine was about 7 years old when she emigrated from the Hohne section of Lengerich, in the Province of Westphalia, Kingdom of Prussia with her father, Adolph (age about 40), her mother, Christine (age about 37), and four brothers and sisters (ages 13 to less than 1 year). The family is reported to have disembarked at New Orleans, Louisiana in late June 1834 and to have traveled up the Mississippi, arriving at St. Louis, Missouri about 3 or 4 July. They appear to have settled initially in Femme Osage Township, St. Charles County, Missouri and a few years later moved to nearby Hopewell, in Warren County, Missouri. Around 1850, Christine's parents and two brothers still living at home moved to Iowa and settled near Wapello in Louisa County, Iowa. By then, she was already married and also relocated with her husband to Louisa County, Iowa. | Fiegenbaum, Christine Elisabeth (I251)

| 400 | Details of the marriage are not known at this time. According to information on her death certificate, "Mable Leone Arnholt" died at the age of 72 years and had been a resident of St. Joseph, Missouri for 50 years. One the other hand, her husband, Ben, was identified on his death certificate as a lifetime resident of the city. This might suggest that Mable may have moved to St. Joseph about the time of her marriage (at the age of about 22 years?) in about 1902. | Family F2651

| 401 | Dorothy had suffered for many years from early onset Alzheimer's disease. She had been able to receive care at home until the last week of her life when medical complications became too severe for the family to handle. Following her instructions, she was allowed to die without interference and peacefully while a patient at Holyoke Hospital. | Gerber, Dorothy May (I40)

| 404 | During the Napoleonic era, from about 1808 to 1810, Ladbergen, as part of the County of Tecklenburg (Grafschaft Tecklenburg), came under the sovereignty of the Grand Duchy of Berg (French: Grand-duché de Berg; German: Großherzogtum Berg), a client state of the First French Empire. In 1811 borders were redrawn again and Grafschaft Tecklenburg was incorporated directly into the First French Empire as part of the Département Ems-Supérieur (German: Departement der Oberen Ems). After Napoleon's defeat, Ladbergen was liberated from French occupation and was at first governed provisionally and then formally by the Kingdom of Prussia as part of the Province of Westphalia (German: Provinz Westfalen, Königreich Preußen). | Fiegenbaum, Heinrich Adolph (I47)

| 406 | Eudoxia Ann Scott was one of at least six children born to James and Catherine Scott in Tennessee, where the family resided until at least about 1840. At the time of the 1850 federal census, the family was living in Moro Township, Madison County, Illinois. On 12 January 1851, shortly before her 21st birthday, Endoxy [sic] A. Scott married Henry Cork. Madison County marriage records show that Eudoxia had three more husbands. On 26 May 1853, John Lynch and Endoria [sic] Ann Cork were married; this was a second marriage for both of them. B. Peterson and Eudoxa M. [sic] Lynch were married on 12 May 1871. Thomas J. Lewis and Eudoxa [sic] A. Peterson were married on 15 May 1873. In 1900, Thomas, age 75, and Eudoxia, age 68, were living in Edwardsville Township at the time of the 1900 U.S. census. I have not yet been able to find any reference either of them after this date. | Scott, Eudoxia Ann (I7285)

| 407 | Following his graduation in 1949 from Drury College (now Drury University), at Springfield, Missouri, Fred attended Eden Theological Seminary, at Webster Groves, Missouri. He graduated in 1952 and in that same year was ordained into the Evangelical and Reformed Church. In 1957, the Evangelical and Reformed Church merged with the majority of the Congregational Christian Churches to form the United Church of Christ. Fred served congregations of that denomination throughout Illinois and Iowa. His last pastorate was at Zion United Church of Christ at Freistatt, Missouri, not far from his birth place. | Fieker, Frederick Edward (I1230)

| 408 | Frances Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts has generously provided me with a transcription of an autobiographical letter Louis' father wrote to his children, perhaps about 1896, near the end of his active service in the German Methodist Episcopal Church. A portion of this document briefly recounts the family's sojourn in the neighborhood of Sherrill's Mount (now simply Sherrill), Iowa, where Rev. Fiegenbaum served a circuit of congregations and where a baby son was born, died and was buried. "Well, from here we again crossed the state of Illinois in the fall of 1855 with a horse and buggy. The baby Adolph [born 7 March 1855] had the chills every day on his mother's lap. We started Monday morning and the next Friday we got to Galena, Illinois where my brother Henry lived. I left my wife and children and proceded [sic] to Dubuque, Iowa where I found my appointment ten miles west Charles Mount Circuit. Preached Sunday, then on Monday I went back to Galena and got my family. We found a log church and a log parsonage with two rooms. Glad to find that. There was another preaching place thirty miles west of this place I feared, because there were some members that protest sanctification.... But to my surprise, they were very kind and friendly.... Here too we had a blessed meeting and many were saved. I built two churches and had them paid for -- bless the Lord, O, my soul and forget not what he has done for thou. Here again a son was born to us, but died when but a few days old. We buried him at Cincolo Mount, Iowa. He was layed, his little body, and had an iron fence around his grave to protect it, and the infant spirit gone above where we will find him again. At this time Mother suffered very much. We had a bad house to live in. While I was out collecting one morning for a new church, which I was building, a big shower came up. O, how it did rain. I was away from home about four miles, but hurried home as fast as my horse would take me. I found Mama crying in bed. I took my umbrella, held it over her to keep her dry, for it was raining on her. Then I kindled a big fire. The whole house was swimming with water. God only saved her life, but she never recovered her usual health. It was a hard time. God only knows. After our time, two years were up, we had to move again." | Fiegenbaum, Louis (I53)

| 409 | Frances Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts provided the following transcription of an article which she reports appeared on 26 August 1897 in the Hancock County (Iowa) Democrat. Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Wellemeyer of this place celebrated the 50th anniversary of their marriage last Saturday, 21 August. A large number of relatives and friends graced the happy occasion showing their congratulations and good wishes together with more substantial tokens of their regard upon the worthy old couple. At about half-past four o'clock the guests were called in to partake of an old fashioned wedding dinner with their host and hostess. About ninety persons partook of the bounteous repast prepared. After dinner while the friends were gathered on the lawn around father and mother Wellemeyer, a short address was made by Rev. F. H. Wellemeyer, another by Mr. August Beinke of St. Louis, Missouri, which was followed by the reading of a short poem by C. L. Wellemeyer. After the short impromptu program the whole company led by the children again filed past the old people with hearty and heart felt congratulations. It was a very affective scene and one never to be forgotten. Tears flowed on every side, but they were tears of joy. When the invited guests had taken their departure, the children and grandchildren gathered in the pleasant sitting room and closed the day with songs and speeches and happy converse.

| 410 | Frances Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts provided the following transcription of an obituary for George Adolph Fiegenbaum. St. Joseph Daily News, Tuesday, 28 April 1896: Dr. George Fiegenbaum died last night at St. Joseph's Hospital. He had not tasted food or drink for ten days and would have starved to death had it not been for an air operation performed on him last Sunday. The unfortunate man was afflicted with a throat trouble, a stricture of the esophagus, that had been growing for a year. Dr. Fiegenbaum was educated in St. Joseph and graduated from a medical college here. He has been practicing during the last fifteen years, lately at Oklahoma City, where he located several years ago. He is a son of the Rev. Henry Fiegenbaum of 1123 North Fifth Street and will be buried from the home of his parents at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The cause of his death was a most peculiar one and baffled the skill of some of the greatest physicians in the United States. When he was first afflicted, Dr. Fiegenbaum sought relief by going to some of the best physicians in Chicago. Attempts were made there and by physicians in this city to dilate the esophagus with a tube, but it was found to be an impossibility. Ten days ago it became so bad that he could not swallow food and since then he had eaten nothing. He was slowly starving to death and as he lay in the hospital he begged the physicians to go on with the contemplated operation. There was no hope of saving his life, but he would be saved from death from starvation, and the operation was performed. "Do anything to save me from starvation and this burning thirst," said Dr. Fiegenbaum to the physicians attending him. He knew there was no hope of saving his life. The stomach was opened and food and water were placed in it. The operation was successful and if it had been performed months ago, the man's life might have been saved. He died peacefully and without suffering, and a post mortem examination of his body was made today. It was found that the esophagus and windpipe had a common opening and that the patient had strangled to death. The lungs were filled with saliva and everything that had been swallowed by him for several days -- in fact everything that went down his throat went into the lungs instead of the stomach. Before he died Dr. Fiegenbaum asked one of his friends to do him a favor, "After I am dead," he said, "and a post mortem examination has been had, I want you to take radishes and lettuce and things that look cooling and good and after mixing them with cracked ice, fill the abdominal cavity. I know it will do me no good, for I will be dead, but there is a satisfaction in knowing that it can be done and that the burning thirst will be allayed." For days before he died the sufferer was in untold agony on account of his thirst that almost drove him wild. His throat was closed and he could take no nourishment of any kind. When water could be taken a drop at a time it went into his lungs only increasing his suffering. Through it all he was patient and while he knew the end was near, he had a horror of starving to death. The unfortunate man who died was born at Galena, Illinois in 1835 and came with his parents to this state when a child. The Rev. Henry Fiegenbaum was Presiding Elder of the German Methodist Episcopal Church here for many years and has been a minister of the gospel for more than forty years. Dr. Fiegenbaum was educated at a college in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, where he was graduated with high honors. He afterwards attended the St. Joseph Hospital and Medical College, where he was graduated. He began the practice of medicine at Oregon, Holt, Missouri about fifteen years ago, and afterwards removed to Omaha where he practiced for five years. Since then he has been practicing medicine in Oklahoma. A wife and two children are left by Dr. Fiegenbaum. His wife was a Miss Bradrick of Mount Pleasant, Iowa and they became acquainted while he was attending college there. His parents are both living and he has four sisters all of whom are living. The sisters are Mrs. J. C. Steinmetz of this city, wife of a bookkeeper for the Turner-Frazer Mercantile Company; Miss Anna Fiegenbaum with the Townsend and Wyatt Dry Goods Company; Miss Mary Fiegenbaum who lives at home, and Mrs. Thomas Curry, wife of the editor of the Oregon Sentinel. The deceased was a member of the Woodman and other lodges at Oklahoma City. All the immediate relatives are in the city and were with Dr. Fiegenbaum when he died. The deceased was a large man and was in good health before he became afflicted with throat trouble. He was well known all over this part of the state and had many friends in St. Joseph and the surrounding country. He will be buried at Ashland Cemetery in St. Joseph. The following obituary was published in The Holt County Sentinel (Oregon, Missouri) on Friday, 1 May 1896. Death of Dr. Geo. A. Fiegenbaum The dark lines of great grief rest upon all this community this week, and The Sentinel will, with painful reluctance carry it to the heart of many in the announcement that Dr. George A. Fiegenbaum, passed over the river into the great unknown beyond on Monday evening last, April 27, 1896, at the age of 41 years, his death occuring [sic] at St. Joseph's Hospital, St. Joseph, Mo., from stricture of the esophagus. For fifteen months the deceased had been an invalid from stricture of the esophagus, and his affliction came to him while a resident of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and so great was his suffering that he was compelled to abandon his practice and seek treatment in St. Joseph and Chicago. His physicians as well as kind and attentive friends did all in their power to bring about his recovery. As a last resort, after an exhaustive consultation with leading specialists and his physician, it was decided the only chance was to submit to an operation, and as a consequence the patient was removed from the home of his father, Rev. Henry Fiegenbaum, of St. Joseph, to St. Joseph's hospital where the patient was prepared and on Sunday, April 26th, his physicians, took charge of the patient and the operation was skilfully [sic] performed and was a success in every particular. The patient had been unable to take the proper nurishment [sic] for so long that he was greatly weakened, from the time of the operation, he was doing well until attacked by a spasm of coughing, which produced strangulations and from that time he continued growing weaker and weaker, until Monday evening he sank into that "sleep that knows no waking." He was born in Galena, Illinois, January 1, 1855. His father, Rev. Henry Fiegenbaum, now of St. Joseph, was a native of Prussia, Germany, and his mother, was a Miss Clara C. Kastenbudt, from Hanover. George went with his parents to Wapello, Iowa, in 1860, then to Pekin, Illinois, in 1864, thence to Quincy, Illinois, in 1867, and 1870 to St. Joseph. From St. Joseph Rev. Fiegenbaum was removed to Oregon, where he was stationed for three years, during which time the subject of this sketch was taking his collegiate course. The deceased began life at this time for himself by clerking in a mercantile establishment. In the fall of 1873 he went to Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, where he took a classical course at the Iowa Wesleyan University. In June 1878, he graduated with high honors, the degree of A. B. being conferred. In 1877 he commenced the study of medicine under Dr. Ray Beattie, and in the fall of 1878 he attended his first course of lectures at the St. Joseph Hospital Medical College. By the removal of Dr. Beattie to South America, the deceased was obliged to choose another preceptor, which he found in the person of Dr. T. H. Doyle, of St. Joseph. He graduated in the spring of 1880, and that same year the Wesleyan University conferred upon him the degree of A. M. In July 1880, he came to Oregon and formed a partnership with Dr. Goslin, and during this partnership he was appointed county physician, this was in 1882. He was married in October 1880, to Miss Anna B. Bradrick, a daughter of Rev. I. A. Bradrick, of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, and by this union three children were born, two now living, aged seven and three years respectively, who with their mother survive. In our half century journey on this earth, never have we seen a husband and wife live so devotedly for each other as the deceased and his now broken hearted wife. Love was supreme with them, hence their home was what "two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one," could possibly make it here on this earth. His venerable parents and four sisters are also left to mourn his loss. -- The sisters are Mrs. J. C. Steinmetz, of St. Joe, wife of a bookkeeper for the Nave & McCord Mercantile Company, Miss Anna Fiegenbaum, with the Townsend & Wyatt Dry Goods Company, Miss Mary Fiegenbaum, who lives at home, and Mrs. Tom Curry, of Oregon. The deceased was a member of the Woodmen and Redmen lodges at Oklahoma City. All the immediate relatives were in the city and were with Dr. Fiegenbaum when he died. In the solemn presence of death love should be modest in its praise, and silence lay its finger upon the lips of flattery. Our friend was not faultless. He had weakenesses [sic] and imperfections; who of us have none? But under the blessed common law of love, death always pushes faults and frailties out of sight and memory touches with brighter color every virtue and living trait of character. We might speak of his loyal, passionate love of home, of the dear ones there; we might speak of his loyal constancy in friendship, but you who knew him have felt the warm grasp of that dead hand. We might dwell on his open-handed generosity, but we believe that is known to us all. We could talk of his long and heavy suffering, but we, who have been close to him know of all this, and so our thoughts and feelings and memories are more eloquent than any words we may write. Now let us speak of the solemn significance of life which the presence of death always suggests, even to the least thoughtful. Especially do we remember, now, these words of scripture, "in the midst of life we are death." But dear reader of The Sentinel remember this. No man holds a moment's lease of life. And yet life is full of jealousies, resentments, envyings and bitterness. Little words and acts have caused estrangement among those who ought to love each other. Some day you mean to be generous and forgiving. Some day you mean to take the hand you have not clasped for years. But that day may never come to you. "Now is the accepted time." Now is the time for reconciliation, for the offices of love, for the blessed ministry of forgiveness, for sweet charity, the hour of true penitence. You are waiting for tomorrow. But the curtain may be rung down upon the last act of your life today. Dr. Fiegenbaum had many admirable traits of character; no higher tribute could be paid to any man than to say he was incorruptible; his views may not have been right; they may not have been popular; they might even have given pain to those whom his every wish was to have saved this pain, but he was honest in his views and this honesty was steadfast to the truth as he saw it; he hated shams, despised hypocrisy, and had no patience with affectation or shallow pretense; always sincere, always thoughtful, he fully realized the imperfections of life and the short-comings of humanity; he pitied and was silent; he had faith, but that faith was not in forms or set theories, but that highest and abiding faith in the love of the Creator of Love; he was heroic in facing the end; patient and kind to all during his affliction, so that in his presence no one was aware of the mental and physical struggle he waged against pain; of fine intellect, finely developed, he was yet so retiring in disposition that only those who were closet to him insensibly were made aware of the man's remarkable ability; his mind was a great storehouse of knowledge and facts which never escaped him. All who became well acquainted with George Fiegenbaum liked him, for he was generous, kind hearted, true to his home and loved ones and friends; sympathetic in his nature, and was always ready to do a favor or a kindness to others if in his power. There was so much of these in his nature that endeared him to a great number, and his memory will be cherished by the many who have been made sad by his death. Short funeral services were conducted from the family residence at 2 p.m. last Wednesday afternoon, by Rev. C. H. Harmes, pastor of the German M. E. church, St. Joseph, and by Elder J. Tanner, of Lincoln, Nebraska, a former pastor of the deceased, after which the remains were laid to rest in the family lot in Ashland cemetery, St. Joseph, to await the final resurrection. Friends and relatives from a distance were in attendance to pay their last sad tribute of respect and love, and telegrames [sic] of condolence were also received from dear ones in far away countries. Rev. I. A. Bradrick and wife, of Chicago, the venerable father and mother of the bereaved wife were present. The following notice was published in World-Herald (Omaha, Nebraska) on Friday, 1 May 1896. Dr. Fiegenbaum Dies Dr. George Fiegenbaum, who died Monday in a hospital in St. Joseph of stricture of the aesophagus, after submitting to an operation intended to enable him to avoid a death by starvation, lived in Omaha between Chicago and Davenport, also in the Brown Block, and was for a while connected with the Whitehouse pharmacy. He was of a retiring disposition and, while a man of ability, did not do well here, and left Omaha for Oklahoma, where he resided until illness overtook him and he went to Chicago for the operation, then to St. Joseph. This notice appeared in the American Medico-Surgical Bulletin; Volume 9, Number 20 (May 16, 1896), page 681. Dr. Geo. A. Fiegenbaum at the St. Joseph Hospital in St. Joseph, Mo., on April 29. He had been troubled for 18 months with stricture of the esophagus, and had gone to the hospital to undergo an operation. The post-mortem examination disclosed the fact that the esophagus and the trachea had a common opening. He was 41 years old. | Fiegenbaum, George Adolph (I329)

| 411 | Frances Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts provided the following transcription of an obituary which she reports appeared on Wednesday, 16 August 1899 in the Garner Signal, of Garner, Iowa. Henry Frank Wellemeyer died at his home in Garner 12 August 1899 of dropsy, aged 76 years, 7 months and 27 days. Funeral services conducted by Revs. C. H. Priebe and W. F. Gleason, were held at his home Tuesday p.m., and his remains laid at rest in Concord Cemetery. Mr. Wellemeyer was born at Hanover, Germany 15 December 1822. He emigrated to the United States in 1845 and settled in St. Louis, Missouri. Here he married Miss Catherine Fiegenbaum, 22 August 1847 and moved to Warrentown [sic], Missouri where they resided for nearly three years. Mr. and Mrs. Wellemeyer could not reconcile the institution of slavery, which then prevailed in Missouri. With their love of personal liberty, they moved to Louisa County near Wapello, Iowa, where they resided until 1875. The rich and cheap lands of northern Iowa induced Mr. Wellemeyer to sell his Louisa County farm and buy several hundred acres of Hancock County prairie. On 4 December 1875 he moved with his family to this county and built their permanent home in Seymour's addition to Concord where they have since resided. Mr. Wellemeyer united with the German M. E. Church at St. Louis in 1845 and for more than 53 years he was an active and consistent Christian in word and deed. He was a public spirited citizen, always ready to contribute his work and mite for the public good. For about fourteen years he was one of the trustees of Concord Township and held the office until ill health compelled him to decline a re-election. During the time he was a trustee he had charge of the Concord Cemetery and his care and work made beautiful his last resting place. Nine children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Wellemeyer, all of whom live to mourn his death, and seven were present at the funeral to pay the last sad rites to a loving father. His six sons, Frank, William, Fred, Edward, George and Charles acted as pall bearers, tenderly and lovingly laid his mortal remains in the grave. On 22 August 1896 Mr. and Mrs. Wellemeyer celebrated their golden wedding with their children, grandchildren and many friends present with happy greetings. An event which is given to but few in this life. For nearly twenty-three years the writer has been a neighbor and friend of the deceased and during all that time we never knew him to do an unworthy act or deed. He was honorable in all his business transactions and during his last illness he was patient and uncomplaining. It can truly be said that in his death a loving husband and father, a consistent Christian and a good citizen has passed from among us. W. H. Wellemeyer and his sister Mrs. J. Newman of Wymore, Nebraska and Mrs. Minnie Winter, a sister of Mrs. Wellemeyer were present at Mr. Wellemeyer's funeral. Two daughters, Mrs. L. Minden of Preston, Kansas and Mrs. Mary Addicks of Warrentown [sic], Missouri were unable to attend. Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts also provided the following appreciation of his grandfather written in 1954 or 1955 by Franz Arthur Wellemeyer. Henry and Catherine were married 21 August 1847 in the German Methodist Church at St. Louis, Missouri. Henry age 25 and Catherine age 20. They farmed for three years near St. Charles in Warren County, Missouri. Lisetta Matilda and Frank Henry were born here. The Mexican War was a short war. In order to raise an army of volunteers in a hurry for General Winfield Scott, the Congress of U. S. offered certain lands in Iowa, just west of the Mississippi River FREE, a farm to each volunteer who joined the army. There was a condition, that the farm be occupied. The war ended in 1848 and many of the soldier boys were eager to sell their right to the land. Adolph Fiegenbaum and Mr. Winter hustled up to Wapello, Louisa County, Iowa, 200 miles north of St. Louis on the river, and 'traded around' until they got ahold of some of this land at $3.50 per acre and less. In 1850 Henry and Catherine and two children took over one of these farms and moved to Wapello. That was raw prairie land, no buildings, no fences, they built a log house and were forced to live from the land. They put in a good garden, they had plenty of fuel from the forests along the river, and game was plenty for meat, and there were fish in the river. They had everything but money. Churches and schools were slow in getting started; Lisetta was 13 and Frank 12 when they finally started to school. They completed the six grades in about two winters. Henry and Catherine lived on the Wapello farm for twenty-five years. The first fifteen were successful years, and with the help of the children, the farm was built up and they were prosperous. Then came the Civil War, and after that the 'hard times' when the price of farm products dropped below cost of production. In about 1870 Adolph and Christine Fiegenbaum sold land near Wapello, retired, making their home with Catherine and Henry. The following year Christine died. In 1875 the Wellemeyer family sold their farm and Adolph went with them to the town of Garner, Hancock, Iowa. They built a comfortable home on a ten acre tract west edge of town. Henry started business with 16 year old Edward as a helper. Times were still hard, and our kind hearted grandparents granted a bit too freely, soon had too much money on the books, and being out of funds, sold out at a loss. I must add in fairness to Henry that experience in the lumber business was valuable to him. It made him sharper in his business dealings and no doubt was worth all it cost. He then bought eighty acres of land and rented two or more quarter sections of grassland, got back into farming again. Three of his sons were living at home, Edward, George and Charles. For about twenty years he farmed the eighty acres and ran a herd of cattle on the rented grassland, raised grain, fed steers every year, kept bulls and stallions for the convenience of neighboring farms, milked a string and was generally prosperous -- our grandpa was a farmer. He was born in Prussia Germany 15 December 1822, the second of four sons to Mathew Wellemeyer. The maiden name of his mother was Voestman. In Germany he completed his common school education, attended church with his parents, and became a member of the Lutheran Church by confirmation. He came from farm people. In Prussia every male was trained to be a soldier and served four years starting at the age of 20. At the age of 19 Henry sneaked out of Germany, alone, to avoid four years in the German Army. He came to New Orleans by ship, then by river boat he proceeded to St. Louis, Missouri, here he found employment in a boiler factory where he worked for maybe five years. The German police were looking for him, hence he did not write home until after he received his U. S. Citizen papers, after which he wrote home and refunded the passage money to his father. His height was 5' 8', stocky build, weight about 175. His hair was dark brown as was his beard, no tendency at all toward being bald. His eyes were hazel. At the time of his death, age 77, he had all of his natural teeth and they were sound except for one filling. He was a man of model habits, did not use tobacco, nor did he drink. He enjoyed his meals very much, but was a light eater, used to caution me not to eat fast and admonished me to always quit eating while it still tasted good. I marveled at the cleanliness of the man, his face was clean, his beard trimmed, his nails trimmed, his boots cleaned every night and frequently oiled. If a button came off his jacket he laid it aside, if his overalls were torn, he wore another pair. One day I mentioned to him that the pony which I rode herding the cattle was getting thin, while the 'mounts' which the other men rode into town were often slick and well groomed. "I am pleased, said Grandpa, that you noticed that, and if you will notice a little more, your horse too can have that well fed, well groomed look. The fellows with the nice horses seldom run them as fast as they will go." And he explained that people like horses would work and play in moderation and that horses should be kept well groomed and that men should keep their boots clean and their clothes in repair. If he were talking to us today (1955) no doubt he would say, drive your automobile at a moderate rate of speed, so that the machine will last longer and you will live longer. Henry Wellemeyer always carried a cane, not that he was lame, but every man who buys and sells cattle must have a cane. It seems that a cattleman cannot think clearly, or profoundly, unless he leans on a cane. Thus, the cane has become the symbol or the badge of all cattlemen. Grandfather would buy small lots of cattle at any time throughout the year, often from farmers who were short of feed. These purchased cattle varied greatly in quality. Some were poor, some were average, a few were very good. In the fall of the year other farmers would come to buy a bunch of 20 or more head for their feed lots, which granddad was glad to sell. Only the best of these purchased steers found their way into his feed lot. Grandfather would walk around among his fattening cattle, now and then he would stop -- lean on his cane -- deep in thought -- he was thinking, when and how we should change the ration to get the best gains and the nicest finish. And months later, when the cattle were finally shipped to Chicago, they would sometimes top the market. This means that he received the highest price per pound paid for fat cattle at Chicago that day. To top the market is perhaps as great an honor, and harder to achieve, than to graduate from a college with the award of 'Cum Laude thus you will understand how necessary and proper it was for grandfather to carry a cane. Henry was a member of the German Methodist Church and a member of the church board at Garner. I noticed that grandfather had trouble reading and writing by the light of the kerosene lamp, so I coaxed him to let me read the Des Moines Register to him, and write from his dictation. He and I discussed politics and other news items together. Among other things, I learned that the Republican Party was the best for farmers. (Ha ha) Grandpa said so. Grandfather was chairman of Concord Township Trustees and he planted the evergreen trees in the Concord Cemetery. He died 12 August 1899 age 77 years. The funeral service was held on the shady and spacious lawn at their residence, conducted by Rev. H. Rudolph Fiegenbaum. The family organ was placed on the front porch, hymn books were distributed and all joined in the singing. The service and the singing was in the German language. The obituary was read in English by the English Methodist Pastor. | Wellemeyer, Henry Frank (I272)

| 412 | Friedrich was about 4 years old when he emigrated from the Hohne section of Lengerich, in the Province of Westphalia, Kingdom of Prussia with his father, Adolph (age about 40), his mother, Christine (age about 37), and four brothers and sisters (ages 13 to less than 1 year). The family is reported to have disembarked at New Orleans, Louisiana in late June 1834 and to have traveled up the Mississippi River, arriving at St. Louis, Missouri about 3 or 4 July. They appear to have settled initially in Femme Osage Township, St. Charles County, Missouri before moving a few years later moved to nearby Hopewell, in Warren County, Missouri. Around 1850, Friedrich, his parents, another brother still living at home settled near Wapello, Louisa County, Iowa. | Fiegenbaum, Friedrich Wilhelm (I252)
|
| 413 | Friedrich Wilhelm retired from active service in the German Methodist Episcopal Church in 1895. He and his wife continued to live in Oregon, Missouri, their last charge, until 1902. Early in October, 1902, the Holt County Sentinel (Oregon, Missouri) reported that Rev. F. W. Fiegenbaum was in Wathena, Kansas to superintend the construction of a residence he and his wife planned to occupy sometime in the middle of that month. On 17 October, the newspaper reported that the couple had move that week to Wathena. | Fiegenbaum, Friedrich Wilhelm (I252)

He was a member of the Philomathean Literary Society and the Iowa Alpha Chapter of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. George was also a graduate of the nearby Mt. Pleasant German College, affiliated with the German branch of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1880, after receiving his M.D degree from the St. Joseph Hospital Medical College, at St. Joseph, Missouri, George also received an A.M. degree from Iowa Wesleyan University. | Fiegenbaum, George Adolph (I329)
|
| 419 | George, his parents and his seven siblings departed from Le Havre, France. They disembarked at New Orleans, Louisiana and traveled up the Mississippi River to St. Louis, Missouri. After a sojourn in that city for a few months, the family settled in St. Joseph, Missouri about June, 1852. | Arnhold, George (I6210)

| 420 | He served as an officer in the U.S. Army from 1 September 1940 to 29 April 1946. According to a descendant, "He was based in London and managed the oil/fuel transports in the European theater." | Winter, Stanley Thacher (I6412)
|
| 421 | He was ordained on 5 July 1874 in Die Deutsche Evangelische Synode des Westens (The German Evangelical Synod of the West). The denomination was known after 1877 as Die Deutsche Evangelische Synode von Nord-Amerika (German Evangelical Synod of North America); after 1925, as the Evangelical Synod of North America. In 1934, the denomination merged with the Reformed Church in the United States to become the Evangelical and Reformed Church. Another merger, in 1957, with the Congregational Christian Churches, resulted in the United Church of Christ. Rev. Bierbaum served as pastor of the church in Holstein, Missouri from 1879-1886, during which a new parsonage and a new brick church were built. In 1884, the congregation changed its name to the German Evangelical Immanuels Church of Holstein. Rev. Bierbaum returned to serve the church in 1888-1890. From 1890-1897 he was the pastor of Evangelische St. Johannis Gemeinde (St. John's Evangelical Church) at Herman, Sheboygan County, Wisconsin. The following biographical sketch was published in 1885. Rev. Mr. Bierbaum is a native of St. Charles county, born on his father's farm in that county, October 31, 1852. His early youth was spent on the farm, assisting at such work as he could do and attending the neighborhood schools. However, while he was yet a youth his parents removed to Warren county, where they made their permanent home. In 1868 young Bierbaum entered the Central Wesleyan College, at Warrenton, where he took a two-years' course. He then matriculated at the Missouri Seminary, where he studied for four years, and on the 5th of July, 1874, was regularly ordained a minister of the Evangelical Church of North America. He shortly received a call from Wisconsin and went to that State, where he was engaged in the work of the ministry for five years. While there, on the 15th of October, 1874, he was married to Miss Ernestine Fiebig, a daughter of August Fiebig, of Sheboygan county, that State. Mr. Bierbaum returned to Warren county in 1879, and has since been occupied with the duties of the ministry in that county. He is a man of fine scholarly attainments, thoroughly versed in theology, an able and eloquent preacher, and, above all, a profoundly ernest and zealous Christian minister. Mr. and Mrs. Bierbaum have 5 children: Herman H., Daniel, Paul, Theodore and Emma. Mr. B. was the sixth in the family of 10 children of H. H. and Wilhemina (Gosejacob) Bierbaum, both originally from Germany. A biographical sketch of Rev. Herman H. Bierbaum, published in 1907, included this brief chronology of Rev. A. J. H. Bierbaum's career. Rev. H. H. Bierbaum, pastor of the Evangelical Trinity church of the town of Brookfield, comes of a family which has many representatives in the same work. His father, Rev. A. J. H. Bierbaum, was born in Marthasville, Mo., Oct. 31, 1849, and married Miss Ernestine Fiebig, who was born Feb. 5, 1853. The former was ordained for the ministry in 1874, his first charge being at Prescott, Wis., where the subject of this sketch was born on Oct. 24, 1875. His next charge was at Rhine, Sheboygan county, and he remained several years at each point. He then returned to Warren county, Mo., taking a church at Holstein, where he remained for twelve years. Later he spent two years in Denver, Col., then several years in Missouri, six years at Ada, Wis., several years in Iowa, and then came to Milwaukee, which is his present residence. He has suffered from poor health which has necessitated considerable travel and some changes of residence. There were eleven children in the family, of whom seven are living, viz., Rev. H. H. Bierbaum, the subject of this sketch; Daniel, a minister, residing in Beecher, Ill., Paul, a minister, residing in Millville, Minn.; Theodore, a minister, residing in Old Ripley, Bond county, Ill.; Anna, unmarried, resides with her parents; Jonathan, now in college at Elmhurst, Ill., preparing for the ministry; and Emma, residing at home. | Bierbaum, Andreas Johann Heinrich (I155)
|
| 422 | Heinrich and Elisabeth resided in house number 47 in Sonneborn. It was here that their children were born and raised. In 2002, the house was still very much in use, the address having changed to Alte Dorfstraße 25. Earlier generations of the Starkebaums lived on farms number 34 and 76 (it has not been possible to locate these farms in contemporary Sonneborn). | Family F408
|
| 423 | Heinrich and Henrietta Starkebaum, Henriette's parents, are listed as one of two new families joining Salem Evangelical Church in Higginsville, Missouri in the minutes of the church meeting for 14 February 1879. | Starkebaum, Henriette Caroline Amelia (I31)
|
| 424 | Heinrich was about 13 years old when he emigrated from the Hohne section of Lengerich, in the Province of Westphalia, Kingdom of Prussia with his father, Adolph (age about 40), his mother, Christine (age about 37), and four brothers and sisters (ages 10 to less than 1 year). The family is reported to have disembarked at New Orleans, Louisiana in late June 1834 and to have traveled up the Mississippi, arriving at St. Louis, Missouri about 3 or 4 July. They appear to have settled initially in Femme Osage Township, St. Charles County, Missouri and later moved to nearby Hopewell, in Warren County, Missouri. Around 1850, Heinrich's parents and two of his brothers still living at home settled near Wapello, Louisa County, Iowa. By then, however, Heinrich was married and already engaged in his career with the German Methodist Episcopal Church. | Fiegenbaum, Heinrich Hermann (I249)
|
| 425 | Heinrich Wilhelm Aufderhaar emigrated from Ladbergen, Province of Westphalia, the Kingdom of Prussia at the about the age of 8 years. He traveled with his father, Johann (about age 32), his mother, Anna Elisabeth Fiegenbaum (about age 29), and two siblings (about 4 years old, and less than 2 years of age). This family group was joined by his mother's married sister, her husband, their child (less than 1 year old), and his unmarried aunt. Also in the party was his maternal grandparents and their 2 younger, unmarried children. In all, at least 13 members of this extended family left Ladbergen together in 1841. They departed Germany from the port of Bremen on the bark Leontine. Of the 102 persons on board, 56 were identified on the passenger list as former residents of Ladbergen. Four other persons were from the nearby towns of Brochterbeck and Lengerich. The Leontine arrived at Baltimore, Maryland on 28 June 1841. The Fiegenbaums, Aufderhaars and Bierbaums traveled further west until reaching and settling in Warren County, Missouri. | Aufderhaar, Heinrich Wilhelm (I196)
|
| 426 | Heinrich Wilhelm emigrated from Germany at the age of 12 years. With him was his father, Herman Wiethoff (at age 47); his mother, Anna (at age 40); and his two brothers, Hermann (at age 19); and Heinrich Wilhelm (not more than 7 months of age). His family made the trip together with Hermann Hünefeld (at age 27); his wife, Christina (at age 21); and their daughter, Catherine (between 7 and 14 months old). The trip could not have begun before May 1845, because Heinrich Wilhelm Wiethoff was born in Ladbergen, Prussia towards the end of that month. The two families were both from Ladbergen and were related through the adult women, who were 4th cousins once removed. | Wiethoff, Heinrich Wilhelm (I1580)
|
| 427 | Heinrich Wilhelm emigrated from Germany when he was less than one year old. He traveled with his father, Herman Wiethoff (at age 47); his mother, Anna (at age 40); and his two older brothers, Hermann (at age 19); Heinrich Wilm (at age 12). His family was joined by at least one other family - Hermann Hünefeld (at age 27); his wife, Christina (at age 21); and their daughter, Catherine (between 7 and 14 months old). The trip could not have begun before May 1845, because Heinrich Wilhelm Wiethoff was born in Ladbergen, Prussia towards the end of that month. The two families were both from Ladbergen and were related through the adult women, who were 4th cousins once removed. | Wiethoff, Heinrich Wilhelm (I1581)
|
| 428 | Heinrich, as a baby less than one year old, his father, Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Bierbaum (about age 29), and his mother, Anna Christine Elsabein Fiegenbaum (about age 26), emigrated from Ladbergen, Province of Westphalia, the Kingdom of Prussia. Accompanying them was Heinrich's aunt, Catharina Sophia Wilhelmine Bierbaum. This family group was joined by his mother's married sister, her husband and their three children, and also by his maternal grandparents and their two unmarried children. In all, at least 13 members of this extended family left Ladbergen together in 1841. They departed Germany from the port of Bremen on the bark Leontine. Of the 102 persons on board, 56 were identified on the passenger list as former residents of Ladbergen. Four other persons were from the nearby towns of Brochterbeck and Lengerich. The Leontine arrived at Baltimore, Maryland on 28 June 1841. The Fiegenbaums, Aufderhaars and Bierbaums traveled further west until reaching and settling in Warren County, Missouri. | Bierbaum, Heinrich Wilhelm (I236)
|
| 429 | Heinrich's family was living in Overbeck at the time of his birth. Overbeck is one of the three 'Bauernshaften' in the village of Ladbergen. A 'Bauerschaft' is an ancient grouping of farms that emerged from the earliest agricultural settlements, and comprised the earliest administrative units of a community. Until the early 1960s, Ladbergen had three Bauernshaften: Hölter, Overbeck and Wester. These settlement areas are still recognized in present day Ladbergen. Recently, the residential sections of the village center have become known by street names and a fourth section of Ladbergen, called 'Dorf' [village] has been created. | Bierbaum, Heinrich Wilhelm (I236)
|
| 430 | Heinrich's family was living in the Osterbeck parish of Westerkappeln at the time of his birth. During the Napoleonic era, from about 1808 to 1810, Westerkappeln, as part of the County of Tecklenburg (Grafschaft Tecklenburg), came under the sovereignty of the Grand Duchy of Berg (French: Grand-duché de Berg; German: Großherzogtum Berg), a client state of the First French Empire. In 1811 borders were redrawn again and Grafschaft Tecklenburg was incorporated directly into the First French Empire as part of the Département Ems-Supérieur (German: Departement der Oberen Ems). After Napoleon's defeat, Westerkappeln found itself part of the Province of Westphalia in the Kingdom of Prussia (German: Provinz Westfalen, Königreich Preußen). | Borgmann, Heinrich Stephen (I194)
|
| 431 | Henriette moved to 602 Fairground Avenue, Higginsville, Missouri, the home of her son Martin and his wife Clara (Drewel) Fiegenbaum on 9 November 1954, and lived there until her death at 3:30 p.m. on 12 April. According to her death certificate, the cause of death was "Malnutrition & Inanation [sic]" due to senility. According to her obituary, Henriette was survived by "three sons, Martin H., John H. and Edwin F. of Higginsville; one daughter, Mrs. August Begemann of Higginsville; three brothers, Wm. Starkebaum and Sam Starkebaum of Higginsville and Edwin Starkebaum of Mayview; and one sister, Mrs. Emma Tempel of Higginsville. Fifteen grandchildren and 33 great-grandchildren also survive." The obituary reported that funeral services "will be held Thursday, April 14 at 2 p.m. at the Zion United Church of Christ in Mayview with Rev. A. E. Limper and Rev. Theo. Hauck officiating." Henriette's obituary mistakenly claimed that she had been born in Higginsville, Missouri and that she had married in 1892. | Starkebaum, Henriette Caroline Amelia (I31)
|
| 432 | Herman Wiethoff was 47 years old when he emigrated from Germany with his wife, Anna (at age 40) and their three sons, Hermann (at age 19); Heinrich Wilhelm (at age 12); and Heinrich Wilhelm (not more than 7 months of age) to New Knoxville, Ohio in 1845. They made the trip together with at least one other family from Ladbergen: Hermann Hünefeld (at age 27); his wife, Christina (at age 21); and their daughter, Catherine (between 7 and 14 months old). The trip could not have begun before May 1845, because Heinrich Wilhelm Wiethoff was born in Ladbergen, Prussia towards the end of that month. The two families were related through the adult women, who were 4th cousins once removed. | Wiethoff, Hermann Wilhelm (I1578)
|
| 433 | Hermann emigrated from Germany at the age of 19 years. He was accompanied by his father, Herman Wiethoff (at age 47); his mother, Anna (at age 40); and his two brothers, Heinrich Wilhelm (at age 12); and Heinrich Wilhelm (not more than 7 months of age). The family made the trip together with Hermann Hünefeld (at age 27); his wife, Christina (at age 21); and their daughter, Catherine (between 7 and 14 months old). The trip could not have begun before May 1845, because Heinrich Wilhelm Wiethoff was born in Ladbergen, Prussia towards the end of that month. The two families were both from Ladbergen and were related through the adult women, who were 4th cousins once removed. | Wiethoff, Hermann Wilhelm (I1579)
|
| 434 | Hermann Hünefeld (at age 27); his wife, Christina (at age 21); and their daughter, Catherine (between 7 and 14 months old) emigrated from Germany to New Knoxville, Ohio in 1845. They made the trip together with Herman Wiethoff (at age 47); his wife, Anna (born Fiegenbaum; at age 40); and their three sons, Hermann (at age 19); Heinrich Wilhelm (at age 12); and Heinrich Wilhelm (not more than 7 months of age). The trip could not have begun before May 1845, because Heinrich Wilhelm Wiethoff was born in Ladbergen, Prussia towards the end of that month. The two families were related through the adult women, who were 4th cousins once removed. | Hünefeld, Hermann Heinrich Wilhelm (I226)
|
| 435 | Hermann left Ladbergen at the age of 18. He traveled with his father, mother and unmarried sister, Christine Elisabeth (b. 1891). His family was accompanied by two other, related families. His married sister, Anna Elisabeth (Fiegenbaum) Aufderhaar, her husband, Johann Aufderhaar and their three oldest children also made the voyage. The third family consisted of his other married sister, Anna Christine Bierbaum, her husband, Johann Bierbaum, their child, and Johann's sister, Sophia Bierbaum (age 18). By 1843, when Hermann's older brother, Heinrich, emigrated, the entire family had left Germany. In all, at least 13 members of this extended family left Ladbergen together in 1841. They departed Germany from the port of Bremen on the bark Leontine. Of the 102 persons on board, 56 were identified on the passenger list as former residents of Ladbergen. Four other persons were from the nearby towns of Brochterbeck and Lengerich. The Leontine arrived at Baltimore, Maryland on 28 June 1841. The Fiegenbaums, Aufderhaars and Bierbaums traveled further west and settled in Warren County, Missouri. | Fiegenbaum, Hermann Heinrich (I189)
|
| 436 | Hermann was about 10 years old when he emigrated from the Hohne section of Lengerich, in the Province of Westphalia, Kingdom of Prussia with his father, Adolph (age about 40), his mother, Christine (age about 37), and four brothers and sisters (ages 13 to less than 1 year).

Around 1850, Hermann's parents and two brothers still living at home settled near Wapello, Louisa County, Iowa. By then, he was already married and embarked on a career as a minister in the German Methodist Episcopal Church. | Fiegenbaum, Hermann Wilhelm (I250)
|
| 437 | His sixty some years of service included stations in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota and Wisconsin. William was licensed as an exhorter in 1847 and ordained in the ministry the following year. His first charge was the church in Highland, Illinois. What follows is a portion of the historical sketch of the "German Methodist Episcopal Church," written by Rev. Wm. Schwind, as it appeared in the History of Madison County: Illustrated: with Biographical Sketches of Many Prominent Men and Pioneers, published in 1882 by W. R. Brink & Company of Edwardsville, Illinois. This section on the church in Highland, Illinois, gives a glimpse of the life of a Reiseprediger (German for "traveling" or circuit preacher), of which William and his brothers, also ministers in the German Methodist Church, were all prime examples: "Rev. Wm. Fiegenbaum [came to Highland] in 1848. In the fall of the same year the building of a church was commenced and carried on until it was under roof. Its completion was delayed till the following spring. It was dedicated on the 26th of June, 1849, by Rev. Henry Koeneke, presiding elder. The church is 40 by 30 feet, two stories high, with steeple and bell. The lower story was built of rough stone; the upper story was built in partnership with the American Methodist, which relation is still sustained. Its value is about $2,000. ....The mission at that time already embraced a large territory and many appointments. It included Edwardsville, Fosterburg, Staunton, Looking Glass Prairie, Beaver Creek, Blackjack, Smooth Prairie, Silver Creek, Ridge Prairie, The Bluff, Moro and Upper Alton. The membership in the whole field of labor numbered 67 at the time the church was dedicated. Rev. Wm. Fiegenbaum was in charge of the mission with two assistant preachers. They were Rev. J. Keck and Rev. Herman Kock, who is now President of Central Wesleyan College, Warrenton, Mo.... "Great and exhausting were the labors of those early pioneer preachers, but they felt themselves equal to almost any emergency. With heroic devotion to their work and self-denying determination, they shared the hardships and difficulties of the early German settlers. They were on horseback almost every day, seeking the lost sheep of the house of Israel, preaching in log cabins, school houses, and where ever they could get any hearers, many or few, to teach them the way of righteousness, expecting very little compensation but what the great Shepherd might please to give them at the great day. And their labors were not in vain. Many persons became converted and rejoiced in the experience of a new life. "When in the year 1849 the Cholera broke out, eight to ten persons died almost every day at Highland. Rev. Wm. Fiegenbaum was stopped on his rounds for fear he would spread the disease. But then he went to nurse the sick and dying, often day and night, for two months, administering faithfully to their bodily and spiritual wants. After that he resumed his labors and was eminently successful in building up the societies in Madison county. Several years later a new church was built at Beaver Creek, where a society still exists. Most of the above mentioned appointments are still places for public worship; they are either formed into separate organizations or connected with other charges." | Fiegenbaum, Hermann Wilhelm (I250)

| 438 | In 1940, Paxton obtained a bachelor of science degree in library science from George Peabody College for Teachers, at Nashville, Tennessee. At the time of his first marriage, Lieutenant Price was assistant librarian at the New Mexico Military Institute, at Roswell, New Mexico. Following service overseas in the Army during World War II, he was a librarian at Northwest Missouri State College at Maryville, Missouri; was Missouri State Librarian for 15 years; served as Chief of Library Services and Construction in the U.S Office of Education at Washington, D.C.; and was Director of the St. Louis Public Library. | Price, Paxton Pate (I4218)

| 440 | In a column titled 25 Years Ago, the following wedding notice was republished in The Edwardsville Intelligencer (Edwardsville, Illinois) on Tuesday, 9 June 1931. Warren DesChamps Harris and Irma Boyd Springer, married. Miss Irma Boyd Springer of this city and Warren DesChamps Harris of St. Louis were united in marriage the evening of June 6 at 8:30 at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Springer. The ceremony was performed in the parlor which was in white and green, the mantel being banked with Easter lilies and ferns and an arch of green leaves and catalpa blooms raised above it. The bridal party stood in front of this. The ribbon bearers were, Misses Elizabeth and Virginia Springer. Miss Mittie Sherer, the bridesmaid, of St. Louis, was accompanied by Chilton Arkinson of St. Louis, the groomsman. Her sister Miss Rebecca Springer, was her maid of honor. The best man was Samuel B. McPheeter, St. Louis. The ring service was employed by F. H. Knight. | Family F2646

| 442 | In documents from the USA, his first name is often given as "Christ" or "Chris". Some sources report that Christian was born in Norderhofschlag. At the time, I believe this was a community within Strückhausen, a town in the Wesermarsch region of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg (Großherzogtum Oldenburg). Today, the town is not far from the cities of Brake and Ovelgönne, in the state of Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen), in the Federal Republic of Germany (Bundesrepublik Deutschland). | Hopken, Christian (I6884)

| 443 | In her Declaration for Widow's Pension (sworn to on November 16, 1903, and stamped by the US Pension Office on November 14, 1903), Anna declares that she was married to Conrad Thoma under the name of Anna M. Schneider and was a widow at the time of her marriage to Thoma. She further states that Conrad Thoma was single and had never been married before. A letter from the Baltimore Cemetery Company (8 South Street, Baltimore, Maryland), dated January 16, 1904, certifies that Lawrence Schneider died of apoplexy [stroke?] on February 16, 1864 at the age of 59 years and was buried February 18, 1864 in grave No. 4, Lot No. 93, Section II "in said cemetery". Signed by William R. Fluharty, Secretary. The letter bears the US Pension Office stamp with the date of February 9, 1904. | Family F176

| 445 | In Ladbergen, Johann H. W. Aufderhaar was a Heuerling or tenant farmer. "They owned no land, and they lived in rented houses on larger farms. Every large or middle-sized farm in Ladbergen had one or more tenant houses (in German: Heuerhäuser) scattered over the farm. The highest number on any farm in Ladbergen was seven; two or three was common. Each tenant farm house had its own plot of 7 to 12 acres. The tenants rented the houses and plots for life. The tenant farmers were not the same as sharecroppers or rental farmers in the American sense. They had only a small plot to themselves, and they did not need to give any of the yield to the landowner. They were essentially renters of houses who paid for their dwellings with a small amount of cash and a specified number of days of labor. In the 19th century the tenants were typically relatives of the landowners, but this was decreasingly the case after the turn of the century." [from Friedrich Saatkamp, Ladbergen: Out of the History and the Present of the 1000-Year Westphalian Village, edited and translated by Dean R. Hoge (New Knoxville, Ohio: New Knoxville Historical Society, 1985) page xxiii]. Johann (about age 32), his wife, Anna Elisabeth Fiegenbaum (about age 29), and their three children at the time (about ages 8, 4 and less than 2 years) emigrated from Ladbergen, Province of Westphalia, the Kingdom of Prussia. This family group was joined by Anna Elisabeth's married sister, her husband, their child (less than 1 year old), and her husband's unmarried sister. Also in the party was Anna Elisabeth's parents and their 2 younger, unmarried children. In all, at least 13 members of this extended family left Ladbergen together in 1841. They departed Germany from the port of Bremen on the bark Leontine. Of the 102 persons on board, 56 were identified on the passenger list as former residents of Ladbergen. Four other persons were from the nearby towns of Brochterbeck and Lengerich. The Leontine arrived at Baltimore, Maryland on 28 June 1841. The Fiegenbaums, Aufderhaars and Bierbaums traveled further west until reaching and settling in Warren County, Missouri. | Aufderhaar, Johann Heinrich Wilhelm (I192)

| 446 | In late summer 1954, J. was offered and accepted a one year assignment on the faculty of Religion at Elmhurst College. A few weeks before the opening of the fall semester, the family was settling down in an apartment in the basement of Irion Hall, a dormitory for male students. In addition to serving as head-resident of the dorm, J. began a routine of teaching four sections of an Introduction to the Old Testament (First Semester) and four sections of an Introduction to the New Testament (Second Semester). With the completion of Hammerschmidt Memorial Chapel, he assumed the duties of the first, unofficial Chaplain to the College. In the meantime, the family had moved into a first floor apartment in faculty housing at 208 Alexander Boulevard, on the corner of Prospect Avenue. The fine arts center of the college now occupies this location. In addition to teaching, J. had been studying during the summers at Garrett-Northwestern, accumulating credits toward an advanced degree. It was becoming clear, however, that the type of program that would provide the training he required involved time away from the Elmhurst College. President Stanger agreed to a one year leave of absence. | Family F15

| 448 | In many documents, the given names of this woman are reported as Minna A. Barnsback. There are, however, some variations. In a biographical sketch published in 1887 of her brother, Henry C. Barnsback, she was identified as Minna C. Barnsback. This is also the form of her name which appeared on her own marriage license as reported in the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index, 1763-1900, an online database of the Illinois State Archives. The form of this woman's name as it appears in this genealogical database is an arbitrary choice until a more definitive answer is discovered. | Barnsback, Minna A. (I6834)

| 449 | In May 1918, a St. Louis, Missouri newspaper published photos of Louis and his brother, Eugene, and a very short account of their activities in the Army: "Sergt. Eugene A. Gerber of 1616 [sic] Potomac street sent a letter home in which he says he expects to leave for France at almost any hour. He is with the 8th Coast Company, Signal Corps, England. His brother, Louis A. Gerber, has been with the Headquarters Detachment in France for some time. In his letter he stated that he had formed a band of which he is a bugler." Louis enlisted into the U.S. Army on 24 November 1917 at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri. At the time, he resided in the family home at 2616 Potomac Street (not 1616, as stated in the newspaper notice). He had training in mechanical drawing and work experience as a pattern maker and woodworker. He was initially assigned to the Mechanical Repair Shops, Motor Transport Corp, at Camp Meigs, Washington, D.C. He served overseas from 4 January 1917 to 11 June 1919; part of that time in France. He was honorably discharged with the rank of private 1st class on 12 July 1919 at Camp Zachary Taylor, Kentucky. | Gerber, Louis August (I254)

| 452 | In some of the documents of the Public Record Office in Detmold, Germany, the first letter of Johann's place of birth is not distinct; it may be either an "R" or a "P." If it is an "R," the town would be Reine, between Alverdissen and Ärzen and north of Sonneborn. If the first letter is a "P," the town would be Peine, located between Hannover and Braunschweig in the present German state of Niedersachsen. | Riechers, Johann Heinrich Friederich C. (I1251)
|
| 453 | In the genealogical report compiled by Earl and Linwood Jungerman, the place of John Henry's birth is identified as "Essen Kruis, Essen Prussia." There is some difficulty in determining just what locality is being referred to here. It seems probable that "Kruis" is a misspelling of the German word "Kreis" (an administrative district) and that the punctuation in this phrase may be a little confused. Until we can return to the primary sources for verification, we have tentatively identified this place as the city of Essen in Westphalia. This is pure speculation on our part. | Wesseler, John Henry Louis (I3563)
|
| 454 | In the genealogical report compiled by Earl and Linwood Jungerman, the place of Sophia's birth is identified as "Ursten and Cappelu Kris, Tecklenburg, Prussia." There is some difficulty in determining just what locality is being referred to here. It seems probable that "Kris" is a misspelling of the German word, "Kreis" and that the punctuation in this phrase may be a little confused. Until we can return to the primary sources for verification, we have tentatively identified this place as the town of Westerkappeln, Kreis Tecklenburg, Province of Westphalia, Kingdom of Prussia. This is pure speculation on our part. | Wulfekammer, Sophia (I3564)

| 455 | In the Principality of Lippe until about 1870, it was customary for engaged couples to register their intended marriage with the nearest office of the Lower Court (German = Amt). This registration, or Eheprotokoll, typically recorded the couple's names and intended place of residence after marriage, the names of their parents, and most importantly, the dowry and any other financial arrangements connected with the marriage. By registering these details with the judicial court, the Eheprotokoll served as a marriage contract. In the 1870s, as license bureaus were established and civil marriages became more common, the use of Eheprotokoll began to died out. | Family F408

W. began work on a master's degree in comparative religion at the Institute of Islamic Studies, McGill University. The following academic year, in order for the family to survive on a severely reduced income, J. remained alone in Montreal while his wife and children lived for a year with his parents on their farm in Lafayette County, Missouri. From late summer 1964 to the summer of 1968, the reunited family lived at 3719 Hutchison Street, just north of Prince Arthur Street. J. worked on his studies for the Ph.D. program at the Institute of Islamic Studies, while his children also pursued their education in the local schools. Dorothy worked at the McGill University library and was the chief bread-winner. | Fiegenbaum, J. W. (I37)

|
| 461 | It seems reasonable to assume that this is a second marriage for Hermann Wilhelm Schoppenhorst (1787-1845). One of his children for whom I have an identity was born in 1813. If Anna Maria Elisabeth Schröer, who was born in 1802, were the mother of this child, she would have been but eleven years old at the birth. I suspect that the two eldest children (born in 1813 and 1816) presently listed in this family are the offspring of a previous marriage for Hermann Wilhelm Schoppenhorst, but I lack any documentation for two or more marriages. I have temporarily listed all of Hermann's children as the offspring of his marriage to Anna Maria Elisabeth, although I am not confident of the accuracy of this arrangement. This matters needs to be researched more thoroughly. | Family F1361

| 462 | It seems very likely that the family of Friedrich and Louisa Fiegenbaum lived in Polk County, Iowa from 1869 to at least 1880. A brief biography of Friedrich and Louisa's son, Adolph Heinrich, was published in 1880 as part of a selection of biographical sketches of residents of Crocker Township, Polk County, Iowa. The biography reported that Adolph had been a resident of the county since 1869. At the time, he would have been about 14 years old and it seems probable that he would have been living with his parents and siblings. This was certainly the case one year later when the family was enumerated in Ward 3 of Des Moines, Iowa, in the 1870 U.S census. The biography also reported that in 1880, Adolph was teaching in the local schools in addition to supervising the work on his father's farm near Ankeny, where Adolph lived. | Family F18

| 463 | It was not an uncommon practice in parts of northwestern Germany for a husband to assume his wife's family name upon marriage if she inherited the property rights of the family farm. The children born to this couple also often took on the mother's family name. Evidence of this practice will often appear in church records when a person will be identified with two surnames joined by the word oder (=or) or by the word genannt (=named). | Leonhard oder Brie, Arend Heinrich Hans Hermann (I1647)

| 467 | Jessie E. Springer writes: "In July, 1881, William M. T. Springer started to Colorado for his health He stopped at Lawrence, Kansas to visit his sister, Lucinda, wife of Samuel P. Irwin, but he became worse, and died there on October 9, 1881. He was brought back to Edwardsville, and buried in Woodlawn Cemetery." The following biographical sketch was published by McKendree College in 1928. William McKendree Springer was born in Madison County, Illinois, August 31, 1828. He attended the public schools of his neighborhood and in 1848 entered McKendree. At the end of the school year closing in 1849, he left school, not to return because of failing health. In 1850, he went overland to California, but in the summer of 1851 he returned and resumed the business of farming. However, he soon left the farm and engaged in running a saw mill. In 1875 he left the saw mill, moved to Edwardsville, and engaged in selling hardware and farm machinery. He was a Republican in politics and a member of the Methodist Church. For many years he served as Sunday School Superintendent. He was a member of the Masonic Order and of the Knights of Honor. In 1881 he started to Colorado for the improvement of his health. At Lawrence, Kansas, where he stopped to visit his sister, he was taken sick and died there in October of that year. He was married to Miss Margaret Barber in 1857, who with four of their six children survived him. | Springer, William McKendree Thompson (I3983)

| 468 | Johann (about age 29), his wife, Anna Christine Elsabein Fiegenbaum (about age 26), and their only child at the time, Heinrich Wilhelm Bierbaum (less than 1 year old), emigrated from Ladbergen, Province of Westphalia, the Kingdom of Prussia. Accompanying them was Johann's sister, Catharina Sophia Wilhelmine Bierbaum. This family group was joined by his wife's married sister, her husband and their three children, and also by his wife's parents and their two unmarried children. In all, at least 13 members of this extended family left Ladbergen together in 1841. They departed Germany from the port of Bremen on the bark Leontine. Of the 102 persons on board, 56 were identified on the passenger list as former residents of Ladbergen. Four other persons were from the nearby towns of Brochterbeck and Lengerich. The Leontine arrived at Baltimore, Maryland on 28 June 1841. The Fiegenbaums, Aufderhaars and Bierbaums traveled further west until reaching and settling in Warren County, Missouri. | Bierbaum, Johann Heinrich Wilhelm (I193)
|
| 469 | Johann's family was living in Overbeck at the time of his birth. Overbeck was one of the three 'Bauernshaften' in the village of Ladbergen. A 'Bauerschaft' is an ancient grouping of farms that emerged from the earliest agricultural settlements, and comprised the earliest administrative units of a community. Until the early 1960s, Ladbergen had three Bauernshaften: Hölter, Overbeck and Wester. These settlement areas are still recognized in present day Ladbergen. Recently, the residential sections of the village center have become known by street names and a fourth section of Ladbergen, called 'Dorf' [village] has been created. During the Napoleonic era, from about 1808 to 1810, Ladbergen, as part of the County of Tecklenburg (Grafschaft Tecklenburg), came under the sovereignty of the Grand Duchy of Berg (French: Grand-duché de Berg; German: Großherzogtum Berg), a client state of the First French Empire. In 1811 borders were redrawn again and Grafschaft Tecklenburg was incorporated directly into the First French Empire as part of the Département Ems-Supérieur (German: Departement der Oberen Ems). After Napoleon's defeat, Ladbergen found itself part of the Province of Westphalia in the Kingdom of Prussia (German: Provinz Westfalen, Königreich Preußen). | Bierbaum, Johann Heinrich Wilhelm (I193)

| 470 | John made the seven week voyage from Germany to New Orleans, and then traveled up the Mississippi River to settled in Weldon Springs, Missouri. His older brother had emigrated to the USA in 1842. | Wesseler, John Henry Louis (I3563)
|
| 471 | Lida was one of four children born to James Bennett, Jr. and Elizabeth Hollenbeck. In documents, her given name has been spelled Lydia, and also Lyda. Of the four children, only Lida and her sister, Frances, were still living in 1918. | Bennett, Lida P. (I4594)
|
| 472 | Lieselotte (Freese) Fiegenbaum states that Anna Elisabeth was her father's heir (in German, Erbtochter). It was often the case, but not always so, that the spouse of an heiress would changed his surname at marriage so he would have the farm's name. Such was the case in this instance, and the eleven children assumed the surname Fiegenbaum. This practice, not completely unknown even in the 20th century in Ladbergen, is mentioned in Friedrich Saatkamp, Ladbergen: Out of the History and the Present of the 1000-year Westphalian Village, edited and translated by Dean R. Hoge (New Knoxville, Ohio: New Knoxville Historical Society, 1985). | Family F252

| 473 | Margaret's date of birth has been calculated from the records of the Oak Hill Cemetery in Washington, D.C. which noted that "Margaret M. Fiegenbaum" died on 21 July 1848 at the age of 88 years, 0 months, 26 days. | McKee, Margaret (I62)
|
| 474 | Maria Elisabeth emigrated from Ladbergen, Province of Westphalia, the Kingdom of Prussia at the about the age of 4 years. She traveled with her father, Johann (about age 32), her mother, Anna Elisabeth Fiegenbaum (about age 29), and two siblings (about 8 years old, and less than 2 years of age). This family group was joined by her mother's married sister, her husband, their child (less than 1 year old), and her unmarried aunt. Also in the party was her maternal grandparents and their 2 younger, unmarried children. In all, at least 13 members of this extended family left Ladbergen together in 1841. They departed Germany from the port of Bremen on the bark Leontine. Of the 102 persons on board, 56 were identified on the passenger list as former residents of Ladbergen. Four other persons were from the nearby towns of Brochterbeck and Lengerich. The Leontine arrived at Baltimore, Maryland on 28 June 1841. The Fiegenbaums, Aufderhaars and Bierbaums traveled further west until reaching and settling in Warren County, Missouri. | Aufderhaar, Marie Elisabeth (I197)
|
| 475 | Maria Elisabeth's baptism is recorded in the archives of the German Lutheran Church on Charrette in Holstein, Missouri (known since 1957 as Immanuels United Church of Christ). Her sponsor is recorded as "Elisabeth Hage". Presumably this is her grandmother, Catherina Elsabein Hagen. | Bierbaum, Maria Elisabeth (I142)
|
| 476 | Maria Wilhelmine was less than 1 year old when she emigrated from the Hohne section of Lengerich, in the Province of Westphalia, Kingdom of Prussia with her father, Adolph (age about 40), her mother, Christine (age about 37), and four brothers and sisters (ages 13 to about 4 years). In a autobiographical sketch she wrote when she was 71 years old, Wilhelmine remarked, "The voyage lasted fourteen weeks. I was the smallest of all the passengers, and was so ill that the travelling-companions frequently said to my apprehensive mother that she should not give herself so much trouble with the little thing for that was destined for the fishes." The family is reported to have disembarked at New Orleans, Louisiana in late June 1834 and to have traveled up the Mississippi, arriving at St. Louis, Missouri about 3 or 4 July. They appear to have settled initially in Femme Osage Township, St. Charles County, Missouri and moved a few years later to nearby Hopewell, in Warren County, Missouri. Around 1850, Wilhelmine's parents and at least two brother still living at home settled near Wapello, Louisa County, Iowa. Wilhelmine and her husband may also have moved to Louisa County about the same time, for that is where they were living at the time of the 1860 U.S. census. | Fiegenbaum, Maria Wilhelmine (I253)
|
| 477 | Marriage license 188 was issued on 12 May 1882 in Madison County, Illinois, to E. W. Fiegenbaum, a 28 year old physician and surgeon, and 26 year old Julia B. Gillespie. Both were residents of Edwardsville, Illinois. They were married on 15 May 1882 at Edwardsville, Illinois by William H. Scott, a minister of the Gospel. | Family F911

| 478 | Mr. Homer E. Lidster, of Hebron, Porter County, Indiana, age 25, and Miss Clara M. Fiegenbaum, of Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, age of 23, received a marriage license from Cook County, Illinois, on 29 May 1917. R. A. White, D.D., a clergyman, of 6800 Perry Avenue, certified that he had married Mr. Homer E. Lidster and Miss Clara M. Fiegenbaum at Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, on 4 June 1917 Clara's surname was originally spelled "Feigenbaum" in the license portion of the document, but a correction was added above the name, thus: (ie). In the certificate of marriage portion of the document, Clara's name was spelled correctly: Fiegenbaum. | Family F2063

| 479 | Mr. Ralph E. Lidster, age 24, of Chicago, Cook County, Illinois and Miss Virginia Eaton, age 27, of Chicago, Cook County, Illinois applied for a marriage license from Cook County, Illinois, on 13 December 1886. Rev. R. W. Bland certified that he had married Ralph and Virginia at Chicago, Cook County, Illinois on 22 December 1886. | Family F2064

| 481 | On 31 July 1890, the World-Herald, of Omaha, Nebraska, reported that the first anniversary of the birth of Helen Fiegenbaum, the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. G. A. Fiegenbaum, had been celebrated the day before at the family home at 1438 North Sixteenth street. On 1 May 1896, the World-Herald published a brief notice of the death of Dr. George Fiegenbaum and noted that he had "lived in Omaha between Chicago and Davenport.... He was of a retiring disposition and, while a man of ability, did not do well here, and left Omaha for Oklahoma, where he resided until illness overtook him...." Exactly how long the family resided in Omaha is not fully known at this time. | Family F116

| 485 | Otto H. Gerber's obituary identified him as the father of the late Pauline William. Other married daughters mentioned in the obituary are identified by their married names (Mrs. Emma Keny and Mrs. Frieda Brooks). Howard J. Seesler reports that Pauline died at the age of 18 or 19 and is buried in New St. Marcus Cemetery in St. Louis, Missouri. There is some indication, however, that Pauline was still alive in 1920. | Gerber, Pauline F. (I541)

| 486 | Private Conrad Thoma of [Bvt?] Major William Brooks[?] Company G of the Third Regiment of the United States Infantry was enlisted by Lieutenant Philipps of the same regiment on July 7, 1858 at Syracuse, New York for a term of 5 years. On July 21, 1861, Conrad was wounded in action at Bull Run, Virginia. A musket ball "passed through his left hand, shattering the third and fourth metacarpal bones." He was judged to be partially disabled, and discharged from the Army of the Potomac on October 20, 1861 in Washington, D.C. At that time he was 5' 4½" tall and 24 years old, of fair complexion, with grey eyes and brown hair. By occupation he was a laborer. His stated age of 24 years at the time of his discharge would give him a date of birth of 1837. This does not agree with the date of birth supplied on the Copy of the Certificate of Death issued by the City of St. Louis in 1903. | Thoma, Conrad (I508)

| 489 | Sailing aboard the S.S. Rhein, Christian and his new wife, Anna, departed Bremen, Germany on 15 May 1889 and arrived in Baltimore, Maryland on 30 May. On the passenger list, Christian was identified as a 25 year old merchant and Anna was 23 years old. They shared a single piece of baggage. Traveling by train, they arrived at Fairmont, Nebraska on 3 June and continued on to Ohiowa, Fillmore County, Nebraska where they located on a small farm southeast of Ohiowa owned by Christian's uncle, Henry Hopken, who had immigrated to Nebraska in 1868. According to the 1920 U.S. census, Chris Hopken, Sr. immigrated to the USA in 1889 and became a naturalized citizen in 1911. The same date of immigration was also recorded in the 1930 U.S. census. | Hopken, Christian (I6884)
|
| 490 | Sailing aboard the S.S. Rhein, Christian and his new wife, Anna, departed Bremen, Germany on 15 May 1889 and arrived in Baltimore, Maryland on 30 May. On the passenger list, Christian was identified as a 25 year old merchant and Anna was 23 years old. They shared a single piece of baggage. Traveling by train, they arrived at Fairmont, Nebraska on 3 June and continued on to Ohiowa, Fillmore County, Nebraska where they located on a small farm southeast of Ohiowa owned by Christian's uncle, Henry Hopken, who had immigrated to Nebraska in 1868. According to the 1920 U.S. census, Anna Hopken immigrated to the USA in 1890. Based on other documents, it would appear that this date is in error. The 1920 enumeration also recorded that she had became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1911, the same year as her husband. In the 1930 U.S. census, the year of her immigration was recorded as 1889, the same as her husband's. | Oellien, Anna Helena (I6885)
|
| 491 | Some of the documents consulted to date identify this person as "Mary" and others use "May" as the given name. I have assumed, without any explicit evidence, that "Mary" is the proper given name and that "May" was used as a nickname. This is an assumption that will require further research. | Gillespie, Mary E. (I7420)

|
| 493 | Some secondary sources report that Frederick first enlisted in the Thirteenth Missouri Volunteer Infantry, was taken prisoner by the Confederate forces during the Battle of Lexington, Missouri, was released on parole and then exchanged. This information has not yet been confirmed. The 13th Missouri Infantry did participate in the first Battle of Lexington, which took place 13-20 September 1861. All Federal forces were taken prisoner and paroled. On 19 December 1861, Frederick enlisted as a private in Company K of the 16th Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment, which had arrived in St. Joseph, Missouri in September 1861 and stayed in the area until late January 1862. Frederick was described at the time in regimental records as an 18 year old unmarried farmer, a resident of St. Joseph, Missouri, 5' 6" tall, with light complexion, light hair and grey eyes. Although his initial commitment was for three years, he re-enlisted as a veteran in October 1863 at Bridgeport, Alabama. Again, secondary sources report that Frederick died in March 1865 in the Battle of Bentonville, North Carolina, the last engagement for the regiment in the war. This has not been confirmed. | Arnhold, Frederick (I6376)

| 494 | Sophia Bierbaum (age 9), her brother, Johann, his wife, and their oldest child emigrated from Ladbergen (Kreis Tecklenburg), Prussia to Warren County, Missouri. The Bierbaum family was accompanied by Johann's wife's married sister, her husband and their three children, and by his wife's parents and their two unmarried children. In all, at least 13 members of this extended family left Ladbergen together in 1841. They departed Germany from the port of Bremen on the bark Leontine. Of the 102 persons on board, 56 were identified on the passenger list as former residents of Ladbergen. Four other persons were from the nearby towns of Brochterbeck and Lengerich. The Leontine arrived at Baltimore, Maryland on 28 June 1841. The Fiegenbaums, Aufderhaars and Bierbaums traveled further west and settled in Warren County, Missouri. | Bierbaum, Catharina Sophia Wilhelmine (I4800)
|
| 495 | Sources differ on the date and place of birth. The published records of the baptism register for the evangelical church at Femme Osage, St. Charles County, Missouri give the date of birth as 1 January 1847; no place is mentioned. The published records of the death register of the German Evangelical Immanuels Church, at Holstein, Missouri, state that the birth occurred on 31 December 1846 at Femme Osage. A biographical sketch published in 1885 uses the same date, but gives the place of birth as Warren County. In 1918, Heinrich Arnold Oberhellmann provided personal information for the death certificates of his daughter, Emma Maria Knapheide, and his wife, Margaretha Elisabeth (Borgmann) Oberhellmann. The certificates did not request his birth date, but in both instances he did report Warren County, Missouri as the place of his birth. The discrepancy between the two dates is not critical. It would not be hard to image that the exact second of a child's birth in a simple country home in the middle of the 19th century would not be anyone's immediate concern in the midst of the event. A date of birth in 1846 instead of a moment later in 1847 would become more a matter of a family's oral history than precision time-keeping. The church at which Heinrich Arnold Oberhellmann was baptized is not a reliable indicator of the families residence. It was not unusual in that era for residents of eastern Warren County to associate themselves with the congregation at Femme Osage in St. Charles County. Ease of travel, regularity of services in the charge of a minister, and familial ties with other congregants were no doubt some of the reasons that drew worshipers to one church or another. As the baptisms of Heinrich's siblings were also recorded in the register of the church at Femme Osage, the parents were identified as residents of Warren County and it has been my assumption that the births took place in the home. Whether the baptism also took place in the home, or at the church in Femme Osage, is not known. In deciding on a date and place, I have chosen the version which I believe Heinrich Arnold Oberhellmann used. | Oberhellmann, Heinrich Arnold (I321)

| 496 | The Holt County Sentinel (Oregon, Missouri) reported that among the new appointments announced at a session of the West German Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church held at Higginsville, Missouri from 1-5 September 1892, Rev. Fred Fiegenbaum, of Lawrence, Kansas was to become the pastor of the church at Oregon, Missouri. The newspaper noted that he was the brother of "Revs. Henry and William Fiegenbaum, former pastors of the German church in this city." On 11 November of the same year, the newspaper reported that Rev. and Mrs. Fiegenbaum were playing host to a week long family reunion. For the first time in eight years all of their children were home at the same time. In September 1893, the Holt County Sentinel reported that Rev. F. Fiegenbaum had returned from the German M. E. conference, held at Enterprise, Kansas. He had been reappointed to the church at Oregon, Missouri. And, the church had been moved from the Lincoln, Nebraska, conference district to the Missouri conference district. A year later, the same newspaper reported that Rev. F. W. Fiegenbaum would remain at the Oregon, Missouri church for another year. It seems that the pastoral charge included the church at Nodaway, Andrew County, Missouri. | Family F18
