"Rev. Fred Fiegenbaum, pastor of the German M. E. church of this city, and his wife are enjoying the pleasure of having all their children at home this week for the first time in eight years. It is indeed a dear thing to the hearts of the parents who have passed their three score mile post to be permitted to have all their sons and daughters gathered around them at one time and we trust that nothing shall mar their happiness on this occasion. The following is the names of their children who have been here this week: Mrs. Minnie Sexauer, Des Moines, Ia.; Lydia Howard and daughter, Genevieve, Des Moines, Ia.; Adolph Fiegenbaum, Washington, D.

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.

Transcription of an autobiographical statement of life and work by Friedrich Wilhelm Fiegenbaum [date not reported].
"Then my health was very poor. I asked to be sent north to Minnesota. In the fall of 1859, I was sent to Salem, Minnesota -- eighty miles south of St. Paul. A large circuit. Five appointments. A sick man, broken down, but the change of climate and our blessing helped wonderfully. I thanked God for it. Amen. Again success. Fifty to sixty-nine souls were converted and added to the church. The church built up the Holy faith in Jesus. One year on this circuit. Here again a son was born to us. We named him Louis Stepfan [born 22 October 1859]. Then we were called to St. Paul, First Church. That for me was a hard field of labor. In the city times hard. Banks and businesses failed. Depression all around. It was 1860, just before the war broke out. Here too, God blessed my labor. A good number. Twenty were added to the church. Here we stayed two years. Another son came to us to stay. We named him Theodore John [born 9 November 1861]. At the end of two years we moved to Woodbury -- eight miles northeast of St. Paul. A circuit of six appointments, and for more money. I started over in Wisconsin. Here again we stayed our full time -- two years. Thirty-five were added to the church -- fine. Minnie was converted in our house one Sunday afternoon. Mama and she were reading the Sunday School lesson and had prayed together. Here again we received another addition to our family -- Emma we called her [born 16 December 1864]."
