• Notes

  Married:      According to marriage records in Henry County, Iowa, George A. Fiegenbaum, of Oregon, Missouri, a physician and surgeon who would be age 26 at his next birthday, and Anna B. Bradrick, of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, who would be age 25 at her next birthday, were married on 20 October 1880 at the home the bride's parents by her father, I. A. Bradrick, a minister of the Gospel. This was the first marriage for both bride and groom. Rev. Bradrick and Mary B. Bradrick, Anna's sister, were witnesses at the ceremony.      The following notice of the marriage was published in the Western Christian Advocate (Cincinnati, Ohio): FIEGENBAUM-BRADRICK - On Wednesday, October 20, 1880, in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, by the bride's father, Rev. I. A. Bradrick, of the Iowa Conference, Dr. George A. Fiegenbaum, son of Rev. --- Fiegenbaum, presiding elder of St. Joseph District (German), Methodist Ep'scopal Church, to Miss Anna B. Bradrick. Residence (family):      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.      In December 1895, George's illness was serious enough to cause his sister, Mrs. Minna Curry, to travel from Oregon, Missouri to his home to help with his care.
