  • Name Fiegenbaum, Wilhelm Friedrich 
    Born 15 Mar 1862  Warren County, Missouri, USA Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16] 

    •      The family possesses a hand-written document in which Hermann Heinrich and Wilhelmine (Wehrmann) Fiegenbaum recorded the names of their children as well as the dates of their births, baptisms, and deaths in those instances when the child did not survive infancy. Of this son, the parents wrote:

           Unser Sohn Wilhelm Frierich [sic] ist geboren den 15 März
           Vor Mittag um halb zwölf 12 Uhr und getauft den 27 April
           Im Jahr 1862

      A translation of this entry reads:
           Our son Wilhelm Frierich [sic] was born on the 15th of March
           at 11:30 in the forenoon and baptized on the 27th of April
           in the year 1862

           In this source, the name is given as "Wilhelm Frierich" [sic]. According to his confirmation certificate, and published records of his baptism and confirmation from the archives of the church in Holstein, Missouri, the order of the given names is 'Friedrich Wilhelm'. However, later documents, such as two marriage certificates, and obituaries, return to 'Wilhelm Friedrich' or ' William Fred.' On the basis of what appears to be his parents' intention and his own preference as an adult, I have chosen to list the given names as Wilhelm Friedrich.
    Gender Male 
    Baptism 27 Apr 1862  Holstein, Warren County, Missouri, USA Find all individuals with events at this location  [6, 8, 17]

    •      According to the 1870 U.S. enumeration, Fred[erei?] Fiegenbaum, an 8 year old male, who had attended school with the year, lived on a farm served by the Hopewell post office with Herm [sic] Fiegenbaum, a 46 year old male farmer; Florent [sic] Fiegenbaum, a 35 year old female keeping house; and six other children: Florent [sic] Fiegenbaum (female, age 15); Louise Fiegenbaum (female, age 13); Henry Fiegenbaum (male, age 10); Fred[erei?] Fiegenbaum (male, age 8); Anna Fiegenbaum (female, age 5); Mary Fiegenbaum (female, age 3); and Frederic Fiegenbaum (male [sic], age 1) On the basis of other information, it seems likely that this youngest child was actually Friedericke Wilhelmine Fiegenbaum, a daughter born in August 1869.

           The following is a transcription of Wilhelm's obituary from an unidentified Lafayette County newspaper:

           William Frederick Fiegenbaum was born March 15, 1862 at Holstein, Mo., where, not long after, he was by baptism admitted to the church of God. He attended the parochial school of the Evangelical church at Holstein until April 14, 1876, when by the solemn rite of confirmation he was admitted to the membership of the Evangelical Church at Holstein under the administration of Rev. J. Schierbaum. As a young man of about 18 years he came to this vicinity, where the rest of his life was spent. On the 19th day of October, 1893 he was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Miss Henrietta Starkebaum at Higginsville, Mo., by the Rev. H. Hoefer. Since that happy day his family lived on the same place where the father so unexpectedly now was called hence. To this happy union four children came to make the home complete, all of whom mourn the departure of a loving father.
           Mr. Fiegenbaum was a man blessed with the happy faculty of seeing always the bright side of things in life, possessing a high optimism coupled with a keen sense of humor which enabled him and all with whom he came in contact over many dark days and made life happy and serene. He seemed always to radiate good cheer where ever he was. A friend and neighbor he proved to be to all. From the beginning he was a consistent and faithful member of Zion Evangelical congregation at Mayview at various times in offices of trust and honor, and always showed himself a faithful steward. A Christian of conviction himself he had the joy of seeing all of his children grow up to follow in his footsteps along the way that he himelf [sic] had found to be the safe and blessed way.
           Suddenly on Tuesday, November 12, while engaged in the homely chores of the farm, God called him Home. Humanly speaking he had many years of life before him yet, as he was only 67 years, 7 months and 27 days old. But God's years are not counted as ours are, and in the judgment of the Father, his life's work was already finished. His going out of this life is mourned by his widow who had shared life's joys and sorrow with him for thirty-six years, his three sons, Martin, John, and Edwin; one daughter, Emma Begemann, two daughters-in-law; eight grand children; two brothers, August and Frederick Fiegenbaum; and two sister, Mrs. Winter of Thruxton [sic], Mo., and Mrs. Vahrenberg of Mayview, and other relatives and many friends.
           The funeral was held Thursday at Zion Evangelical church at Mayview conducted by Rev. D. Buchmueller, the pastor, assisted by Rev. D. C. Jensen of Lexington.
    Buried 14 Nov 1929  Mayview, Lafayette County, Missouri, USA Find all individuals with events at this location  [26, 27] 
    • William's grave is in the Zion Church Cemetery, a short distance south-east of town.

           A marriage certificate in the family's possession which appears to have been filled out by "H. F. Hoefer, Pastor of Salems [sic] Church, Higginsville, Mo." confirms the documents filed with the county recorder. The certificate further notes that Friederik [sic] Fiegenbaum and Louise Starkebaum were witnesses at the marriage.
           A 'Trauschein' (a German language marriage certificate) issued under H. F. Hoefer's hand on 12 December, 1894 attests to the same details.
           Henriette's obituary in 1960 seems to err in reporting that she was married in 1892.
