  • Name Fiegenbaum, Clara Marguerite 
    Born 1 Jun 1893  Oklahoma Territory, USA Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8] 
    • The year of birth has also been reported as 1892.
    Gender Female 
    Census Jun 1900  Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA Find all individuals with events at this location  [9] 

    •      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 Apr 1910  Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA Find all individuals with events at this location  [10] 

    •      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.
    Died Jan 1973  [5, 11] 

    •      The following is a transcription of an obituary from an unidentified and undated newspaper, used with permission from the web site Our Folk, created by Albert Douglass Hart, Jr. (at http://www.renderplus.com/hartgen/htm/lidster.htm):

                Mrs. Lidster

           Mrs. Clara Lidster, 79, a resident of Proctor Endowment Home since Aug. 4, 1966, died there at 10:20 p.m. Wednesday.
           She willed her body to Northwestern University Medical School.
           Mrs. Lidster, a former resident of 1301 NE Glendale was once manager of Glen Oaks Towers.
           She was bon in Oklahoma Territory June 1, 1893, a daughter of Dr. and Mrs. George A. Fiegenbaum. She married Homer E. Lidster in Chicago June 4, 1917, and he died in Tampa Fla., May 20, 1962.
           Surviving are three daughters, Mrs. Virginia Breckenridge of Peoria; Mrs. Ruth Willits of Davenport, Iowa; Mrs. Barbara Jackson of Chicago; one sister, Mrs. Helen Satwell of Omaha Ne.; five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

           It is possible that the references in this obituary to Proctor Endowment Home and Glen Oaks Towers indicate that Clara died in Peoria, Illinois (her last place of residence according to the Social Security death index), but this has yet to be confirmed.

She is on her way home from Chicago, where she had been visiting with her parents and husband, Dr. G. A. Fiegenbaum, who has been there for the past seven weeks, taking treatment for a throat trouble. We are glad to inform his many friends in this county, that he has so far recovered as to be out of danger, and has been discharged by his doctor as cured.
