    •      According to the 1900 enumeration, the head of household was Anna Feigenbaum [sic], age 42, born August 1857 in Ohio, a widowed and the mother of three children, all of whom were still alive. Two of these children were Mary Feigenbaum [sic], a 10 year old daughter (born July 1889 in Nebraska); and Clara M. Feigenbaum [sic], a 7 year old daughter (born June 1892 in Oklahoma Territory.
           Also in the household was Mary Broderrick [sic], a 71 year old widow (born May 1829 in Ohio). Mary's identity as a "daughter" of the head of household was crossed out at some point.
           The final resident of the home was May [sic] B. Broderrick [sic], age 39 (born June 1860 in Iowa). She was identified as Anna Feigenbaum's niece.
           There are some problems with this enumeration apart from the misspelling of the surnames of all concerned. The head of the household, Anna B. (Bradrick) Fiegenbaum was born in Ohio, but the date of August 1857 may not be correct. She was indeed the mother of three children, but her eldest appears to have died at an early age (before the death of Anna's husband in 1896). Two daughters survived: Helen Mary had been born in 1889 in Nebraska, and Clara Marguerite was born in 1893 in Oklahoma Territory.
           The 71 year old widow, who had first been mistakenly identified as Anna Fiegenbaum's "daughter," was no doubt the mother, Mary (Rankin) Bradrick, born in 1829 in Ohio.
           The woman identified as May [sic] B. Broderrick [sic], age 39, was in all probability Anna Fiegenbaum's younger sister, the second child born to Isaiah Allen and Mary (Rankin) Bradrick. Mary B. Bradrick appeared in subsequent enumerations of Anna's households in Chicago.

                Mrs. Mary R. Bradrick
                Celebrated Her 75th Birthday March 11, 1904

           Mrs. Mary R. Bradrick, who has resided at the corner of N. Normal Parkway and Stewart avenue, Englewood, for the past eight years, celebrated her 75th birthday on March 11, 1904. She is no doubt the youngest looking lady for her age in the city. She is the widow of the Rev. I. A. Bradrick, a noted Methodist clergyman, who passed away at the same place April 10, 1899. Mrs Bradrick was married on Washington's birthday 50 years ago the 22d of last February, at Newark, Ohio. Shortly after their union they moved to Burlington, Iowa, afterward moving to Mt. Pleasant, Henry county, Iowa, where the Rev. Bradrick took up the work of raising the money to pay off the indebtedness of the Iowa Wesleyan University, which is today one of the oldest and best known Methodist colleges in Iowa. To this work he gave the best years of his life. After completing this great undertaking, Brother Bradrick entered the M. E. Iowa Conference. He was presiding elder on the Burlington and Muscatine districts for many years, and filled nearly all the important pulpits in the Iowa Conference. He was considered one of the ablest preachers in the West. The town of Bradrick, Ohio, was named for Rev. I. A. Bradrick and his name is well remembered by many of the [older?] people of that [now?] thriving Buckeye town.
           Mrs Bradrick is the mother of five children, for of whom are living. Charles H. Bradrick holds a responsible position with the Texas & Pacific Railway company in Dallas, Texas.
           Wm. H. Bradrick is one of Chicago's best business men; he is at present treasurer of the Braganza Gold Mining Company of Arizona, whose headquarters are in this city. This is one of Arizona's best and largest gold mines. He is also interested in several other mining and live stock enterprises.
           Anna Birdsall married Dr. George A. Fiegenbaum, a very eminent physician of St. Joseph, Mo., in 1880.
           Mary Bell Bradrick owns the controlling interest in the noted Shafer & Bradrick Rheumatic Cure, which medicine is manufactured by the Englewood Patent Medicine Co., at 430 W. [63d?] street.
           To this medicine Mrs. Bradrick attributes her wonderful health, as she suffered for years with rheumatic paralysis, which her daughter's medicine has completely cured, and she now walks, talks, eats and sleeps as in her childhood days. She is really a marvel to all who know her for her wonderful health, and would not be taken for more than 50 years of age. She is very fond of reading and keeps well posted on all the news, besides reading many chapters of her Bible every day.
           Mrs. Bradrick was the recipient of many [humorous?] remembrances from relatives and dear friends and all join in wishing her many more pleasant birthdays.
