    • The following is a transcription supplied by Frances Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts of an obituary for "Mrs William E. Fiegenbaum." Gretchen Leenerts reported that the obituary had appeared on 10 September 1953 in the Nebraska Signal, of Geneva, Nebraska.

           Mrs. Fiegenbaum's services held at Methodist Church. Mrs. William E. Fiegenbaum of Geneva passed away at a Lincoln hospital at 10:50 a.m. Sunday, 6 September 1953, aged 74 years, 10 months and 8 days. She had been in ill health several months and was taken to the hospital Thursday, August 27th. Maude Mary Montgomery was born in Jackson, Ohio 28 October 1878. At the age of four and one-half years the family moved to Oregon, Missouri. After the death of her mother, she and her two sisters were reared and educated by an uncle, Robert Montgomery. She graduated from the Oregon High School, and attended Kansas State University and Western College at Oxford, Ohio. On 8 October 1901 she and William Edward Fiegenbaum were united in marriage and they came to live in Geneva, Nebraska which has been their home ever since. Three children blessed their marriage, Frederick Robert, who tarried with them just four and one-half months; Frances Montgomery, now Mrs. L. F. Klein of Lincoln; and William Edward II, who has just returned to Geneva after serving as a captain in the United States Army in Germany. Mrs. Fiegenbaum was a member of the Presbyterian Church during her girlhood. Following her marriage she and her husband united with the Methodist Church of Geneva, and for half a century they have loved and served this church faithfully and officially in many capacities. She also belonged to Chapter "O", P. E. O., the Geneva Woman's Club, and its several departments, and the O. K. Kensington. There are four grandchildren, Gretchen Turner, Nancy Klein, Susan Fiegenbaum and William Edward Fiegenbaum III, and one great grandchild, Karen Turner. Two sisters, Mrs. Henry Fiegenbaum of Springfield, Nebraska and Mrs. Grace Dungan of Oregon, Missouri also survive. A year and 11 months ago Mr. and Mrs. Fiegenbaum celebrated their golden wedding anniversary and at that time received the greetings and good wishes of a multitude of friends. Mrs. Fiegenbaum requested no flowers at the service, but suggested that any expressions of sympathy might be made in the form of a contribution to the Memorial Fund of the church which she loved for more than fifty years. Funeral services were conducted at the First Methodist Church of Geneva Tuesday morning, 8 September at 10:30. Dr. F. E. Pfoutz, pastor, gave the tribute. Organ music was provided by Miss Gayle Walton, the church organist. Mrs. Fiegenbaum's favorite hymn, "Crossing the Bar," was read with organ accompaniment.

    •      The following announcement of the wedding of Edward Fiegenbaum and Maude Montgomery was published on 11 October 1901 in The Holt County Sentinel, of Oregon, Missouri.

                Cupid's Captives.

           For some time it has been rumored in Oregon society that one of our most popular young ladies, who from young girlhood has grown up in our midst, was about to pass from the paternal roof to take her light and joy to the home of another - We refer to Miss Maude, niece of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Montgomery, of this city. The rumor developed into a fact as appeared by the wedding invitations that were issued. The happy bridegroom is Edward Fiegenbaum, a jeweler of Geneva, Nebraska, and who several years ago was engaged in the same business in our city.
           The church was neatly decorated in festoons, the altar being banked with potted palms and other plants. Just before the arrival of the wedding party, Miss Gertrude Stock sang a beautiful love song, "Answer," by Robyns.
           The ceremony was performed at the Presbyterian church, and promptly at 11 a.m., Tuesday, October 8th, 1901, the bridal party entered, preceded by the ushers, Messrs. Dr. Jonas Whitmer and Charles Zachman, and attendants, Miss Leona Schulte and Charles Bunker. The party passed down the aisle to the chancel to the music of Mendelssohn's wedding march, played by the sister of the bride, Mrs. Henry Fiegenbaum. Underneath a large monogram in red and green stood the contracting parties, while the bride's pastor, Rev. Henry A. Sawyers, spoke the words that made these two very excellent young people, husband and wife.
           Upon the benediction being performed the bridal party retired to the strains of a beautiful march, and they and relatives repaired to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery where a reception and luncheon was given, and at 1:20 p.m., Mr. and Mrs. Fiegenbaum took their departure for a brief bridal trip, and after October 20th will be at home at Geneva, Nebraska, where the groom has just completed a cozy cottage.
           The bride was attired in a beautiful gown of castor bean de soisee, trimmed elaborately in lace medallions and embroidered chiffon. The maid of honor wore a handsome gown of castor cloth, with pink and brown trimmings.
           The bridal presents were numerous and handsome, evincing the high regard in which they are held by their friends. Both young people are very popular with a large circle of friends, and all unite in wishing them the very best the world affords.
           Those present from a distance were: Mrs. Louis Fiegenbaum and daughter, Inez, and Mrs. S. Schickley, of Geneva, Nebraska; Mrs. Clarence Pickenbrock, of Ellston, Iowa; Mr. Fred Sexauer, of Ankney [sic], Iowa; Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Montgomery, Mound City; Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Austin, Forest City; Mr. Hi Montgomery and children, of Skidmore; Rev. H. Fiegenbaum, St. Joseph.

      The following is a transcription (courtesy of Frances Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts and Jane Michel) of an account of the golden wedding anniversary celebration for William Edward and Maude Mary (Montgomery) Fiegenbaum. The article appeared in the Nebraska Signal, of Geneva, Nebraska, on 18 October 1951.

                Mr. And Mrs. W. E. Fiegenbaum

           Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Fiegenbaum of Geneva celebrated their golden wedding anniversary Sunday afternoon, 7 October 1951, by holding open house from 2 to 5 at their home. Many relatives and friends from Geneva and from a distance came to honor Mr. and Mrs. Fiegenbaum, who have lived in this community all of their married life. Mr. Fiegenbaum had been in business here two years before his marriage.
           Maude Montgomery and Ed Fiegenbaum were married October 8, 1901, in the Presbyterian Church at Oregon, Mo. A reception was held after the ceremony. Following a short wedding trip, the couple went to housekeeping in Geneva in a cottage on the lot where they now live. The present home was built in 1913.
           Mr. and Mrs. Fiegenbaum have two children, Frances, now Mrs. L. F. Klein of Lincoln, and Capt. W. E. Fiegenbaum, now in the regular army and stationed in Munich, Germany. They have four grandchildren, Mrs. Gretchen Turner of Enid, Okla., Nancy Klein of Lincoln, Susan and W. E. Fiegenbaum III of Munich, Germany. They also have a great-granddaughter, Karen Turner of Enid, Okla.
           In addition to those who called during the afternoon of the golden wedding observance, many sent cards, letters, telegrams, flowers and gifts in honor of the occasion. Of particular interest was a beautiful Dresden figurine which their son, Capt. Fiegenbaum, and family sent from Germany. Guests also were interested in viewing Mrs. Fiegenbaum's wedding dress, newspaper clippings, pictures and other mementos of 50 years of married life. Included in the collection was a silver loving cup that was presented to the parents of Mr. Fiegenbaum on their golden wedding anniversary in 1902. It is engraved with the date and the names of their nine children, of whom Edward is the youngest. The cup will belong to William E. Fiegenbaum II and then will pass on to the fourth generation, William Edward III being the only male descendant.
           Assisting in the dining room at the observance were Mrs. Charles Warner, Mrs. F. M. Holtz, Mrs. John Brice, Mrs. Maude Stringfield, Mrs. Tyler Edgecombe, Mrs. Porter Sloan and Mrs. Robert Waring. Miss Delia Fisher and Mrs. Guy Case assisted Mrs. L. F. Klein in receiving guests.
