Fiegenbaum, Anna Elisabeth

Other Events:

• Baptism: 7 Sep 1864, Holstein, Warren County, Missouri, USA
• Census: Jun 1870, Charrette Township, Warren County, Missouri, USA

Notes:

Birth:
In a manuscript record of their children's births and baptisms, Anna's parents wrote the following:

     Unser Tochter Anna Elisabeth geboren den 13. August
     Morgans um 1 uhr und getauft den 7 September Im Jahr 1864

I have translated this as:

     Our daughter Anna Elisabeth born on the 13th of August
     at 1 o'clock in the morning and baptized on the 7th of September in the year 1864


Baptism:
Anna's baptism is recorded in the archives of the German Evangelical Church on Charrette in Holstein, Missouri (known since 1957 as Immanuels United Church of Christ). The sponsor was Anne Elisebethe Aufderhar [sic].

Census:
According to the 1870 U.S. enumeration, Anna Fiegenbaum, a 5 year old female, lived on a farm served by the Hopewell post office with Herm [sic] Fiegenbaum, a 46 year old male farmer; Florent [sic] Fiegenbaum, a 35 year old female keeping house; and six other children: Florent [sic] Fiegenbaum (female, age 15); Louise Fiegenbaum (female, age 13); Henry Fiegenbaum (male, age 10); Fred[erei?] Fiegenbaum (male, age 8); Anna Fiegenbaum (female, age 5); Mary Fiegenbaum (female, age 3); and Frederic Fiegenbaum (male [sic], age 1) On the basis of other information, it seems likely that this youngest child was actually Friedericke Wilhelmine Fiegenbaum, a daughter born in August 1869.

Buried:
Anna is buried in the cemetery across the street from the brick church dedicated in 1884 as the German Evangelical Immanuels Church of Holstein, Missouri (known since 1957 as Immanuels United Church of Christ). The cemetery is next to and south of the parsonage and on the site of the first church, known as German Lutheran Church on Charrette (1839-1848).
