Fiegenbaum, Frederic Wilhelm

Notes:

Birth:
The day of the birth has been reported as either the 14th or the 15th. The middle name has been given as either Robert or Wilhelm. The first given name has been spelled Frederic, Frederick and Fredrick. In the absence of an authoritative record, I have chosen to use the name which appears on his gravestone, Frederic Wilhelm, assuming that this form comes closest to the intention of this child's parents.

Buried:
He was buried in Geneva Cemetery. The stone was inscribed: "Frederic W. | Fiegenbaum | 1902 - 1903"

Died:

The following is a transcription supplied by Frances Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts of an obituary for Frederick Robert Fiegenbaum. Gretchen Leenerts reported that the obituary had appeared on 15 May 1903 in the Nebraska Signal, of Geneva, Nebraska.

     DIED: At 6:00 p.m. Friday 8 May 1903, Frederick Robert, only child of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Fiegenbaum, aged four months and twenty-four days. The little one had been sick but a day or two. Its death was very unexpected and was a great blow to the parents. The cause of death was not fully established. The funeral service was private and was conducted at the family residence at four o'clock Sunday afternoon by Rev. E. M. Evans. On account of the downpour of rain the interment of the body was deferred until two o'clock Monday afternoon. The Methodist choir sang at the funeral service. Friends sent many beautiful flowers.
