"He lived here with his parents until his marriage 13 June 1872 to Miss Minnie Fiegenbaum. They then moved, as it was termed in those days, to "the prairie," one mile west of Ankeny and settled on the present Sexauer farm. There were born to them five children: Rosanna McDougal, and Emily Pickenbrock of Des Moines, Iowa; Frederick Sexauer, Roscoe Sexauer and Hallet M. Sexauer of Ankeny, Iowa. In 1902 Mr. Sexauer quit active farming and built his present residence one half mile north of Ankeny where he has since resided. This makes a continuous residence of 77 years in Crocker Township, Polk County, Iowa."

NARA microfilm T624, roll 418, page 8B. Iowa, Polk County, Crocker Township, Supervisor’s District 7, Enumeration District 67, census sheet 8B, enumerated on 28 April 1910; Matthew Sexauer household, dwelling 182, family 182, lines 91-95. Access through Ancestry.com in March 2014.
In the household was: 91) Sexauer, Matthew; head; male; white; age 63; married, first; married for 47 years; and, 92) Sexauer, Minnie W.; wife; female; white; age 57; married, first; married for 47 years; mother of 5 children, 5 still living.
By calculation from the information provided, the marriage would have taken place about 1862-1863. There are clearly problems with the information provided in the enumeration - 57 year old woman who had been married for 47 years would have been about 10 years old at the time of the marriage.
