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.

           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.
