Nine weeks we were on the sea where we saw nothing but the blue sky and water and ship in which we lived at that time. The last part of June 1834 we landed in New Orleans. Then we went up the Mississippi River to St. Louis, Missouri which was then but a small town where we landed about third or fourth of July 1834. From there we traveled west by wagon and about sixty miles crossed the Missouri River at St. Charles, then west on the north side till we struck the line of Warren County, or near it, where we lived about seventeen years."

Gretchen Leenerts reported that this account had appeared on 29 September 1899 in the Edwardsville Intelligencer, of Edwardsville, Illinois.
"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 household, 1900 U.S. census, Buchanan County, Missouri, population schedule, St. Joseph, Ward 3, Supervisor’s District 4, Enumeration District 51, census sheet 14 A, enumerated 7 June 1900, 1123 North 5th, dwelling 248, family 289, lines 14-18.
The household consisted of: 1) Fiegenbaum, Henry; head; white; male; born October 1821; age 78; widowed; married for 50 years; born in Germany; father born in Germany; mother born in Germany; immigrated to USA in 1832; in USA 68 years; is naturalized citizen; minister; 0 months unemployed; can read; can write; can speak English; owner of home, without mortgage. 2) Fiegenbaum, Anna; daughter; white; female; born September 1850; age 49; single; born in Illinois; father born in Germany; mother born in Germany; can read; can write; can speak English. 3) Fiegenbaum, Julia; daughter; white; female; born May 1857; age 43; single; born in Illinois; father born in Germany; mother born in Germany; clerk; 0 months unemployed; can read; can write; can speak English. 4) Fiegenbaum, Henry; nephew; white; male; born January 1868; age 32; single; in Iowa; father born in Germany; mother born in Germany; salesman; 0 months unemployed; can read; can write; can speak English. 5) Fiegenbaum, Mary; daughter; white; female; born September 1851; age 48; single; born in Illinois; father born in Germany; mother born in Germany; can speak English.
The presence in this household of the daughters Anna (born September 1850, age 49) and Mary (born September 1851, age 48) causes some confusion. Other historical resources do not support the existence of two separate individuals matching the reported criteria. It would appear that somehow Heinrich's eldest child, Anna Maria (born September 1850) was mistakenly enumerated twice.
The Henry Fiegenbaum identified as a nehphew is probably Heinrich Fiegenbaum (1868-1954), son of Heinrich Wilhelm and Louisa (Otto) Fiegenbaum.

Adolph Heinrich Fiegenbaum and Christina Elisabeth Peterjohan were married on 25 October 1820 at Ladbergen, Westphalia, Germany. Bill Roege included a note for this event: "Husb (27), unmarried zimmerman in Wester; wife (25), unmarried dau of Joh Herm Peterjohan, Colonus in Holter."
I believe the note is a translation of the entry in the records of the church at Ladbergen.

Article on the fiftieth wedding anniversary of Henry and Clara (Kastenbudt) Fiegenbaum celebrated at St. Joseph, Missouri.
"Sunday, April 11, 1847, found the bridal party in the house of God in St. Louis, Mo., and at the close of the sermon the minister, Rev. Casper Yost, called forward the young couple [Henry Fiegenbaum and Clara Kastenbudt] who wished to be joined in holy matrimony and then and there pronounced them husband and wife."
"...where in 1846 she [Clara Kastenbudt] united with the German M. E. church, and it was then and there that these two hearts met and in the same church where each were converted and joined that the marriage ceremoney [sic] was performed, Sunday, April 11, 1847, that made them one for life...."

Digital image 6 (Index for Marriages, 1806-1854) and image 49 of 141 total images. Accessed in January 2011.
At the bottom of page 387 of volume 3 is a list of four marriages returned by "C. Jose [sic] Pastor of the St. Louis German Station, Meth. E. Church" on 25 May 1847 and filed on 31 May 1847: 1. On the 4th day of March 1847 -- Charles Fiele with Marie Kleinstadt. 2. On the 4th day of April 1847 -- John Alt with Catherine Wag--- [end of name is obscured]. 3. On the 11th day of April 1847 -- Henry Fiegenbaum with Clara Kastenbutz [sic]. 4. On the 18th day of May 1847 -- Jacob Siesval[d?] with [G?]egina E[?]selink--- [end of name is obscured]. All parties were residents of St. Louis.
The index for this record (see image 6, page: Fid, entry #4) shows Clara's surname as "Kustenbutz," but this is a mis-reading of the record (see image 49).
According to later accounts, Henry and Clara were married at the end of a regular Sunday church service. Judging from the dates of these four marriages, it would appear that Rev. Kasper Jost was in the habit of performing weddings in this manner.
