    •      The following obituary was published on Monday, 28 February 1938 in the Alton Evening Telegraph, of Alton, Illinois.

                Dr. Fiegenbaum
                Dies; Physician
                Here 53 Years
                 -------
                Succumbs Three Days
                After Fall Down Stairs
                at His Home
                 -------
                Served as Health Officer

                During Smallpox Epidemic
                 -- Funeral Rites Tues-
                Day at Residence

           Fifty-three years in the practice of the medical profession by Dr. Julius H. Fiegenbaum came to a close Saturday evening when he died in his home after an illness which began the preceding Wednesday afternoon. He would have been 79 years of age next April 27.
           Whether Dr. Fiegenbaum's death was due to paralysis that caused him to fall down the flight of stairs to his cellar floor in his home at 3 o'clock last Wednesday afternoon, or the fall produced the paralysis which proved fatal is not certain. He was never out of his bed after being laid there following his fall.
           Seldom taking any time out for travel, Dr. Fiegenbaum had stuck close to his professional work in Alton. It was the only place he had ever practiced medicine. He had come here as a young man in 1885 to settle down, had married here four years later and ever since that had been identified with the work of his profession. At times he did public service as health officer of the city, also taking time to serve capably as a member of the official board of the First Methodist church, a post he filled at the time the present church was originally built at Sixth and Market streets.

           Successful as 'Baby Doctor'

           He had not been feeling well, but except for two days he stayed at home, he had continued to attend to calls of the families he served. His chief interest long was in the care and feeding babies and he was known for years as a successful "baby doctor." He had great success in prescribing formulas for feeding babies when little attention was being given that then little known science which has become an important subject of scientific research in later years. Wednesday he had been down town after being home Sunday and Monday, and he had attended to some patients even on Wednesday before he suffered the fall. When he was picked up and taken from the cellar floor he had bad mark on his forehead where his head may have struck on the concrete floor. While some phases of his condition seemed to improve, others did not and the end came Saturday night.
           Dr. Fiegenbaum was born in Galena, Ill. He received his medical education first at Rush School in Chicago and finished at Bellevue Medical school in New York. Then he came to Alton and settled here in his first place where he was to remain the rest of his life. He was married here to Miss Sophie Pitts, member of a prominent Alton family, Sept. 11, 1899. Two children were born to the couple, a son dying in early childhood. Their only daughter, Bertha, is the wife of H. P. Harris, who with Mrs. Fiegenbaum, survives. There is a twin sister, Mrs. Bertha Blume of St. Paul, Minn., who visited her brother here when he was celebrating his seventy-fifth birthday. Another sister, Mrs. Lydia Jacoby lives at Los Angeles, Cal. There are three grandchildren.

            Served During Epidemic

           It is recalled that Dr. Fiegenbaum served as city health officer during one of the worst smallpox epidemics the city had gone through in many years. During that time he gave personal attention to the smallpox victims. The outbreak had been started in Alton from the coming here of people from infested districts at a distance to work in industries. The duty of the health officer at that time was to look after all such causes and Dr. Fiegenbaum did a good job of it.
           One of the last things he did the day he was stricken was to vaccinate a grandson of his.
           The funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock with services at the family home, 628 Henry street, where services will be conducted by the Rev. George Whitten, pastor of First Methodist Church.
           The death of Dr. Fiegenbaum was the third in the medical profession here since Dec 22, when Dr. F. C. Joesting died. Dr. Walter Day died Dec. 30.
           Dr. Fiegenbaum, like Dr. Joesting and Dr. Day, had started the practice of his profession in Alton and had practiced no place else.

    •      Although obituaries for Hermann Wilhelm Fiegenbaum and Sophia (Gusewelle) Fiegenbaum and also a newspaper account of their golden wedding anniversary all report that they were married at St. Louis on 27 September 1849, a record of the marriage, filed and recorded on 23 October 1849 at St. Louis, certified that Rev Henry Könecke, a Minister of the Gospel, "joined in wedlock" Reverend William Figenbaum [sic], of Highland, Madison County, Illinois, and Miss Sophia Gisewelle [sic], of St. Louis, Missouri on 1 October 1849.
           The following is a transcription supplied by Frances Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts of an account of the golden wedding anniversary celebration for "Rev. and Mrs. William Fiegenbaum." Gretchen Leenerts reported that this account had appeared on 29 September 1899 in the Edwardsville Intelligencer, of Edwardsville, Illinois.

           Rev. and Mrs. William Fiegenbaum celebrated their golden wedding Wednesday. As the anniversary, so was the day, bright and fair, and with sunshine as clear and golden as the purest ingot of the precious metal that ever ran from a crucible. Every circumstance smiled upon the anniversary and combined to make it a joyous one. The venerable couple were in the best of health and spirits, friends old and new were there to greet them and wish them well, and it is safe to say that no one of all the throng derived as much pleasure by half from the affair as did the guests of honor. The celebration occurred at the residence on Main Street of their son, Dr. E. W. Fiegenbaum. The house and grounds had been lavishly decorated in honor of the event. Taking advantage of the season, every corner and nook of the residence blossomed with golden rod, and its appropriateness was remarked upon all sides. At night the handsome lawn was lighted with many electric lights, forming a very pretty picture. According to the invitations the festivities began at 2:30, but in reality they commenced at noon, when the family gathered at dinner. Forty relatives sat down to the meal. Rev. and Mrs. Fiegenbaum occupied the places of honor. Rev. H. C. Jacoby made an address, the family united in singing a verse and then after grace came the discussion of the meal. In the afternoon the guests began to arrive, and they came until the house was packed. Some to spend the afternoon, others who could tarry but a little while dropped in to pay their compliments, listen to the music and then return to business or other pursuits. Rev. Jacoby delivered an address in German and was followed with short addresses in English by Past Presiding Elder W. E. Ravenscroft and Dr. J. L. Cunningham. In the evening there was an address by Dr. J. A. Autrim, of St. Andrew's. One feature which was especially pleasing to the assemblage was the music. Schwarz orchestra played throughout the celebration, concluding with the "Golden Wedding March." During intervals the Fiegenbaum Mandolin Club rendered choice selections, and there was vocal music by the members of the German Methodist Choir. It was thought that perhaps all the members of the German Methodist Church could not be reached by mailing invitations, so a general invitation was extended from the pulpit, and the members were present almost without exception. Among the many handsome presents was a $10 gold piece, accompanied by a congratulatory poem from the Church Society. Rev. and Mrs. Fiegenbaum have not had uneventful lives as are usually supposed to tend to long life. Both are natives of Prussia. Rev. Fiegenbaum came to this country at an early age. He was licensed as an exhorter in 1847 and the following year was ordained to the ministry. His first charge was at Highland, and after the completion of his first year there he went to St. Louis to claim his bride, Miss Sophia Gusewelle, who had been in America at that time about a year. They were married on September 27 in the afternoon at the German Methodist Church on Washington Street then one of the most pretentious structures in St. Louis. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. Henry Koeneke. Rev. Koeneke and Mrs. Timpkin, of Peoria, who were the witnesses to the wedding, are still living, as is also Mrs. Dora Lahrman, of St. Joseph, Missouri, the lady who tendered them a wedding supper. At that time ministers were allowed but two years as a charge, so at the completion of the year following their wedding, Rev. and Mrs. Fiegenbaum were assigned to a new town. They went to Watertown, Wisconsin, driving overland all the way. Then they were transferred to Booneville, Missouri, and during the forty or more years following, traversed nearly the whole of Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois. Rev. Fiegenbaum's service for the Master covered a period of over 50 years, and he still preaches when occasion demands. The family is noted for the fact of its connection with the ministry. The three brothers, Henry of St. Joseph, Missouri; Fred of Oregon, Missouri; and Rudolph of Garner, Iowa, were all ministers, the former two now superannuated. The two sisters, Mrs. Minna Winter of Omaha, Nebraska and Mrs. Katherine Wellemeyer of Garner, Iowa, each married a minister. Henry Fiegenbaum and Mrs. Wellemeyer celebrated golden weddings a year ago, and Fred's occurs next year. All the children of Rev. and Mrs. Fiegenbaum were present with their families, 19 of their 21 grandchildren being there. The children are: Mrs. Charles F. Blume of Winona, Minnesota; Mrs. Jacoby, wife of Rev. H. C. Jacoby, pastor of the Taylor Avenue German Methodist Church, St. Louis; Dr. J. H. Fiegenbaum of Alton, and Dr. E. W. Fiegenbaum, Fred Fiegenbaum and Mrs. C. H. Lynch of this city. Other out of town guests were: Mrs. Christian Kaeser of Pittsfield, a sister of Mrs. Fiegenbaum, who was present at the wedding 50 years ago; Mrs. Henry Krome, of near Wanda, who was seatmate with Mrs. Fiegenbaum at school in Germany 62 years ago; Mr. and Mrs. John Zimmerman, Mrs. Brinkman and Mrs. Goesch of Bunker Hill and Mr. and Mrs. Sam Pitts of Alton.
