    Notes:

    Birth:

         Adolph's parents, Friedrich and Louisa (Otto) Fiegenbaum, have occasionally been identified as residing in Clear Lake, Steuben County, Indiana sometime between 1854 and 1856. In fact, Friedrich, in a autobiographical letter to his children, wrote that the family "moved to Clear Lake, Indiana, forty miles south of Chicago in Lake County, Indiana." This may be the source of the confusion. Clear Lake, Indiana is located in Steuben County, in the extreme northeast corner of the state. It is over 190 miles east of Chicago. However, Cedar Lake, Indiana is in Lake County and is approximately 40 miles south of Chicago. Other sources confirm the Lake County location. I have been persuaded by these arguments.

    Residence:

         The following sketch of Adolph was published in 1880 as part of a selection of biographical sketches of residents of Crocker Township, Polk County, Iowa:

    FIEGENBAUM A. H. - Farmer, section 14, P. O. Ankeny. Was born March 7, 1855, and is a native of Lake county, Indiana. His father being a Methodist minister his residence in various places was necessarily of short duration. He received his education at the Iowa Wesleyan University, where he attended school for three years. Since 1875 he has been engaged in teaching in this county, having been a resident here since 1869. He is at present (1880) living on his father's farm, near Ankeny, and besides teaching the schools of that village, superintends the work on the farm. In 1879 he was elected justice of the peace for Crocker township, being perhaps the youngest official occupying that position in the county.

    Census:

         According to the 1870 enumeration, Adolph, age 15 (born in Indiana), lived with his parents, Frederick (age 39) and Louisa (age 37), and eight brothers and sisters, ages 17 years to 6 months.

    Residence:

         A brief report of minor robberies in the city appeared in the Washington Post on 14 January 1889, noting that "A gold bar breastpin has been stolen from the residence of Adolph H. Fiegenbaum, No. 408 East Capitol street." It appears that Adolph had been a resident of the district since at least November 1892, when the capitol was listed as his home when he attended a family reunion in Oregon, Missouri.

    Buried:
    Adolph Heinrich Fiegenbaum was buried in the Van Ness Section, Lot 260 East, site 6 at Oak Hill Cemetery (3001 R Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.). In 1948, his wife, Margaret (McKee) Fiegenbaum, was buried beside him.

    Died:

         According to records at Oak Hill Cemetery in Washington, D.C., Adolph died of "Arterio Sclerosis." Although his last residence was listed as 5435 Connecticut Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C., he apparently died nearby at the home of his daughter and son-in-law, George W. and Grace F. Vinal. The following notice appeared in the Washington Post on Thursday, 19 June 1930 (page 3).

    "FIEGENBAUM - On Wednesday, June 18, 1930 at 9:50 a.m., at the residence of his daughter, 3810 Jenifer street northwest, Adolph H., beloved husband of Margaret Fiegenbaum.
    "Notice of funeral hereafter."

    Adolph married McKee, Margaret 11 Jul 1880, Story County, Iowa, USA. Margaret (daughter of McKee, Hugh and Harper, Mary Ann) was born 25 Jun 1860, Iowa, USA; died 21 Jul 1948, Maryland, USA; was buried 23 Jul 1948, Washington, D.C., USA. [Group Sheet]
