    • 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.
