The fourth entry on page 373 in volume 4 is a record for the marriage on 1 October 1849 of Reverend William Figenbaum [sic], of Highland, Madison County, Illinois, and Miss Sophia Gisewelle [sic], of St. Louis, Missouri. The wedding was performed by Henry Könecke, Minister of the Gospel. The marriage record was filed and recorded at St. Louis on 23 October 1849.
In the index for this record (see image 6, page: Fid, entry #24) and the record itself (see image 109), the surnames of the marrying couple are misspelled. All of the marriage records on page 372 and 373 appear to have been written by the same hand, presumably that of the Recorder.
