Bradrick, age 7, attending school, born in Iowa; and Mattie Orrison, age 26, a seamstress, born in Virginia.
Education:
Anna entered Iowa Wesleyan University (known as Iowa Wesleyan College since 1912) in 1873 after finishing at Mt. Pleasant High School. She graduated with a B.S. degree in 1877. She was member of the Ruthean Literary Society and the Iowa Alpha Chapter of the Pi Beta Phi sorority.
Census:
According to the 1880 enumeration, the household consisted of Issah [sic] A. Braderick, age 43, married, a minister; Mary R. Braderick, age 51, wife, married, keeping house; Anna B. Braderick, age 28, daughter, single, at home; Mary B. Braderick, age 20, daughter, single, at school; Charles H. Braderick, age 19, son, single, at school; William Braderick, age 17, son, single, at school; and Elijah R. Braderick, age 9, single, at school.
Census:
According to the 1900 enumeration, the head of household was Anna Feigenbaum [sic], age 42, born August 1857 in Ohio, a widowed and the mother of three children, all of whom were still alive. Two of these children were Mary Feigenbaum [sic], a 10 year old daughter (born July 1889 in Nebraska); and Clara M. Feigenbaum [sic], a 7 year old daughter (born June 1892 in Oklahoma Territory.
Also in the household was Mary Broderrick [sic], a 71 year old widow (born May 1829 in Ohio). Mary's identity as a "daughter" of the head of household was crossed out at some point.
The final resident of the home was May [sic] B. Broderrick [sic], age 39 (born June 1860 in Iowa). She was identified as Anna Feigenbaum's niece.
There are some problems with this enumeration apart from the misspelling of the surnames of all concerned. The head of the household, Anna B. (Bradrick) Fiegenbaum was born in Ohio, but the date of August 1857 may not be correct. She was indeed the mother of three children, but her eldest appears to have died at an early age (before the death of Anna's husband in 1896). Two daughters survived: Helen Mary had been born in 1889 in Nebraska, and Clara Marguerite was born in 1893 in Oklahoma Territory.
The 71 year old widow, who had first been mistakenly identified as Anna Fiegenbaum's "daughter," was no doubt the mother, Mary (Rankin) Bradrick, born in 1829 in Ohio.
The woman identified as May [sic] B. Broderrick [sic], age 39, was in all probability Anna Fiegenbaum's younger sister, the second child born to Isaiah Allen and Mary (Rankin) Bradrick. Mary B. Bradrick appeared in subsequent enumerations of Anna's households in Chicago.
Census:
According to the 1910 enumeration, the household consisted of Anna B. Fiegenbaum, age 53, head of household, widowed, mother of 3 children (2 children still alive); Mary B. Bradrick, age 49, sister, single, manufacturer of "Delicacies;" Helen Fiegenbaum, age 19, daughter, single; and Clara M. Fiegenbaum, age 15, daughter, single, in school.

According to information published in 1917 by the Alumnal Association of Iowa Wesleyan College, Anna was living at 472 North Normal Parkway, in Chicago.

According to the 1920 enumeration, the household consisted of Anna R. [or B?] Fiegenbaum, age 59, head of household, widowed; Mary Bradrick, age 38 [sic], sister, single; and Marion [Bubeberrzen?], age 21, single, a boarder, attending school.
