Friederike's parents wrote this about her first days:

     Unser Tochter Friederike Wilhelmine geboren D 8

     Our daughter Friederike Wilhelmine born on the 8th
     also the 9th at 12 o'clock in the night and baptized on the 15th of August
     August     in the year 1869


Baptism:
According to the published records of the German Evangelical Church on Charrette in Holstein, Missouri (known since 1957 as Immanuels United Church of Christ), Friedericke was baptized on 14 August 1869. Her parents are listed as the sponsors. The manuscript record of their children's births and baptisms maintained by Fredericke's parents states that she was baptized on 15 August 1869. Perhaps it will not be possible to confirm the exact date. As a point of interest, the 14th was a Saturday and the 15th a Sunday.

Census:
According to the 1870 U.S. enumeration, the youngest member of the household was a 1 year old male identified as Frederic Fiegenbaum. On the basis of other research, it seems likely that this child was actually Friedericke Wilhelmine Fiegenbaum, a daughter born in August 1869. The census recorded this child living 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); and Mary Fiegenbaum (female, age 3).
