NARA microfilm T624, roll 310, page 6B, image 367. Illinois, Madison County, Edwardsville Township, Edwardsville, Ward 1, Supervisor’s District 13, Enumeration District 38, census sheet 6B, enumerated on 19 April 1910; Fred Fiegenbaum household, 817 Kingshighway, dwelling 132, family 145, lines 87-89. Access through Ancestry.com in March 2012.
In the household was: 87) Fiegenbaum, Fred; head of household; male; white; age 58; widower.
Identifying Fred as a widower is curious. He and Mrs. Frederike Ashauer Figg were married in 1903. In the 1930 U.S. census, Fred A. and Frederica Fiegenbaum were enumerated as the sole residents of the same home as 1910 - 817 Kingshighway. For more details of this enumeration, see the notes on the 1940 U.S. census for this person.

NARA microfilm T626, roll 541, page 4B, image 555. Illinois, Madison County, Edwardsville Township, Edwardsville, Ward 1, Supervisor’s District 23, Enumeration District 60-29, census sheet 4B, enumerated on 7 April 1930; Fred Feigenbaum [sic] household, 817 Kingshighway, dwelling 91, family 93, lines 56-57. Access through Ancestry.com in March 2012.
In the household was: 56) Feigenbaum [sic], Fred; head of household; male; white; age 78; married; age at first marriage=23; and, 57) Feigenbaum [sic], Frederica; wife; female; white; age 72; married; age at first marriage=42.
The information recorded for Frederica is probably not accurate. Marriage records in Madison County, Illinois recorded that "Charles H. Figge" and "Fredericka Wilhelmine Sophi [sic] Ashauer" were married in 1879. "Fred A. Fiegenbaum" and "Mrs. Frederike Ashauer Figge" were married on 3 January 1903. According to the 1900 U.S. census, Mrs. Fredericka Figge, wife of Charles H. Figge, was born in October 1858. Based on information from these data, Fredericka or Frederica or Frederike would have been about 20-21 years old at her first marriage. At the time of her second marriage, in 1903, she would have been about 44-45 years old.
