           The following is a transcription supplied by Frances Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts of an obituary for Mrs. Fred Neudorff which she reported had appeared on 7 February 1892, in the St. Joseph Herald, of St. Joseph, Missouri.

      "At 6:45 a.m. yesterday, Mrs. Fred Neudorff died at her home, 1701 Levee Street, after an illness lasting two weeks. Mrs. Neudorff was 30 years of age, was a daughter of Rev. H. Fiegenbaum, an old and well known minister of the German M. E. Church, and the greater part of his life was passed in St. Joseph. About twelve years ago she was united in marriage to Mr. Fred Neudorff, well and favorably known in business circles, and now at the head of the Neudorff Hardware Company. Three children, one boy and two girls, blessed the union, and the family circle, now rudely shattered by death, was one of the happiest in all St. Joseph. Aside from her own family, the father and mother, a sister and a brother of Mrs. Neudorff live in St. Joseph, and a sister, Mrs. Thomas Curry, resides in Oregon, Missouri. Though devoted to her home and children, she found time to make many friends, and there is an unlimited number of them to mourn her early death. The funeral will take place Tuesday at 2 p.m. from the family residence and at 2:30 from the German Methodist Church."

           The following obituary was published in the The Holt County Sentinel (Oregon, Missouri) on Friday, 12 February 1892.

                Obituary.
                Neudorff.

           This spake the Master to his angel, death: "Go, then this day among my chosen, take from the choicest mine own, bring me her soul to paradise; choose one who loves her fellow-men, whose life has been a blessing to her kind - whose hearts she has made strong, whose lives are nobler for her living; fit her to rank among the angels." And the Master's will was done. These lines come to us as we are called to face another of life's bitter trials we are forced to meet; there is no other way, therefore we bow in silence.
           On Saturday morning last, February 6, 1892, Clara Lissette, daughter of Rev. H. Fiegenbaum, and wife of Fred Neudorff, of St. Joseph, crossed over to the shores of eternity.
           The deceased was born in Wapello, Iowa, March 24, 1862, and was married to Fred Neudorff, St. Joseph, September 14, 1881.
           The taking off of this truly Christian life was the first to come to the home of Rev. Fiegenbaum, in twenty-seven years, and one can well know the deep grief that is felt by this noble Christian gentleman and wife and every individual member of the family.
           The deceased professed religion early in life and united with the German M. E. church in which she lived as consistent member until the Saviour [sic] said "it is enough, come up higher."
           We in our little, silent room must say to ourselves, why is it that such must go? One so good, so kind. Her's was a life without a blemish; her every act was one of kindness; her tongue uttered no words of malice, and where it could not praise was silent. And that strong, womanly face was an index of a character of that soul who lived only that others should be happy. Self denial to her was a pleasure if it was conducive to the happiness of others, and yet, such a life must pass away. No power could stay the dark shadowy hand of death.
           This death will be deeply regretted by not only a large circle of friends in St. Joseph, but by a large number of friends in Oregon, where the deceased spent several years of her earlier life, while her father was the pastor in charge of the German M. E. church.
           The deceased leaves behind, that she may beckon to come up higher - father, mother, husband, three children, four sisters, and one brother - Mrs. Tom Curry, of this city, being a sister.
           The husband has lost by this bereavement a noble, devoted companion; the father and mother a truly Christian, daughter, the children, a faithful, loving mother, and the community a warm, sympathetic friend.
           While we, in company with a large circle of friends in Oregon, grieve, we would recall the words of the wise man: "It is better to go to the house of mourning than to the house of feasting." Our loss is her "eternal weight of glory."
           The funeral services were conducted from the German M. E. church, St. Joseph, on Tuesday, 9th inst., by Revs. Ott and Bushnell, of St. Joseph, and Rev. J. Tanner, of Lincoln, and the remains were laid to rest in the vault in Mt. Mora Cemetery until spring, when a suitable lot can be selected, and the remains then laid away until the final Resurrection Day.

    • The funeral service was held at the family home and at the German Methodist Episcopal Church on 9 February. Lizette was buried at Mount Mora Cemetery on 13 February in Section/Range 6; Block 3; Lot 4.

    •      The following is a transcription of an article published in The Holt County Sentinel (Oregon, Missouri) on Friday, 16 April 1897.

                Half A Century.
                Rev. Henry Fiegenbaum and
                Wife Celebrate Their Golden
                Wedding in St. Joseph,
                Monday, April
                12, 1897.

                Were United in Marriage, April 11,
                1847 - Recipients of Many Hand-
                some Presents - Telegrams and
                Letters of Congratulations
                Received by the Score.

           This mile stone was reached by Rev. Henry and Mrs. Clara Fiegenbaum of St. Joseph, Mo., on last Sunday April 11th, 1897.
           Cards had been sent out, announcing the coming event with a reception on Monday, April 12, 1897, at their home, 1123 North 5th Street, St. Joseph, Mo.
           Sunday, April 11, 1847, found the bridal party in the house of God in St. Louis, Mo., and at the close of the sermon the minister, Rev. Casper Yost, called forward the young couple who wished to be joined in holy matrimony and then and there pronounced them husband and wife.

           [anniversary photo here]

           Last Sunday, April, 11, 1897, they had reached the Golden stepping stone, and true to their early faith, wended their way to the house of God. It being Palm Sunday, they found the church a bower of palms. At the close of the sermon, Rev. Charles Harmes, pastor in charge, called forward the bridal party, and seating them before the altar delivered a fitting address to them, and in connection read a poem written for the occasion [sic] by Rev. J. A. Reitz, of Junction City, Kansas, Mrs. Dorethia [sic] Lahrman, of St. Joseph, Mo., the only living guest and witness of the marriage in 1847, acting as one bride's maid and Mrs. Dorathea Balcke as the other bride's maid.
           After the wedding ceremony, the bridal party went to their home where a 5 o'clock dinner was served.
           Those present were Rev. F. Fiegenbaum and wife, of Oregon, Mo.; Dr. J. F. Heinz and wife, Dr. H. R. Riemer and wife, Rev. J. A. Mueller and wife, Rev. Chas. Harmes, Mrs. Rev. J. G. K[o?]st, Mrs. Rev. Geo. Schatz, Mrs. Rev. H. Lahrman and Mrs. Rev. F. Balcke, and Miss Eda Heinz, all of St. Joseph, Mo.; Tom Curry, wife, children, of Oregon, Mo.; J. C. Steinmetz and wife, Adolph, Clara, Nettie, Emma, Addie and George Steinmetz, Julia and May Neudorff, Misses Mary and Anna Fiegenbaum and Miss Lydia Gutknecht, of St. Joseph, Mo.
           As early as Thursday the letters of congratulations came rolling in, and by Wednesday, 100 letters and fifteen telegrams had been received. Donations from friends were numerous and expensive, and true to the Golden Standard of our country, the bridal couple received one dollar each for every year of connubial bliss. Rare coins, such as a $2½ gold piece, coined in 1847, and $1.00 gold pieces were found among the presents.
           It would be well to give a short sketch of the lives of this worthy couple.
           Henry Fiegenbaum was born in Ladbergen, Prussia, Oct. 16, 1820; came to America with his parents in 1832, by the way of New Orleans; thence up the Mississippi river to St. Charles county, Mo., and in 1845 to St. Louis, Mo.
           Mrs. Clara Fiegenbaum (nee) Kastenbudt, was born in Osnabruck, Hanover, Dec. 9, 1823, and came to America in 1844, first going to Cincinnatti [sic] and thence to St. Louis, where in 1846 she united with the German M. E. church, and it was then and there that these two hearts met and in the same church where each were converted and joined that the marriage ceremoney [sic] was performed, Sunday, April 11, 1847, that made them one for life - for better or for worse, and in looking back over the years, they cannot but say: Truly, the Lord has been good unto us.
           In 1847 Mr. Fiegenbaum received exhorter's license, and in 1848 was sent out to fill a charge at Okoe, Ill., until conference. He joined the Illinois conference and was sent on the Belleville circuit.
           1848 to 1850 they were stationed at Mascoutah, Ill.; 1850 to 1852, Muscatine, Iowa; 1852 to 1860 in Galena, Ill.; 1860 to 1864 in Wapello, Iowa, Presiding Elder; 1864-1867 in Pekin, Ill.; 1867 to 1870 in Quincy, Ill.; 1870 to 1872 in St. Joseph, Mo., Presiding Elder; 1872 to 1875 in Oregon, Mo.; 1875 to 1883 in St. Joseph, Mo., Presiding Elder; 1883 to 1886 in St. Joseph, Mo., as station minister; 1886 to 1889 in Sedalia, Mo., and finding his health failing him retired from active charge in the ministry and found a home in St. Joseph, Mo., from whence they celebrated their Golden wedding on last Sunday.
           "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint," - has been verified in the lives of these servants of God, and that they may spend the remainder of their lives in sweet communion with that Master and friend in whom they have trusted all these years, and that they may have a glorious golden sunset with a golden sunrise in the better world, is the wish of their many friends, both far and near.

           At the bottom of page 387 of volume 3 is a list of four marriages returned by "C. Jose [sic] Pastor of the St. Louis German Station, Meth. E. Church" on 25 May 1847 and filed on 31 May 1847: 1. On the 4th day of March 1847 -- Charles Fiele with Marie Kleinstadt. 2. On the 4th day of April 1847 -- John Alt with Catherine Wag--- [end of name is obscured]. 3. On the 11th day of April 1847 -- Henry Fiegenbaum with Clara Kastenbutz [sic]. 4. On the 18th day of May 1847 -- Jacob Siesval[d?] with [G?]egina E[?]selink--- [end of name is obscured]. All parties were residents of St. Louis.
           The index for this record (see image 6, page: Fid, entry #4) shows Clara's surname as "Kustenbutz," but this is a mis-reading of the record (see image 49).
           According to later accounts, Henry and Clara were married at the end of a regular Sunday church service. Judging from the dates of these four marriages, it would appear that Rev. Kasper Jost was in the habit of performing weddings in this manner.
