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.
