Death of Ernst Regenhardt
The announcement of the death of the death of Ernst Regenhardt
was received here Monday evening but no particulars of the sad affair were
given in the telegram that brought the news and everybody was anxious to
learn the cause of the sudden taking of so noble a young man who left here
only a few weeks ago enjoying the best of good health for St. Louis where
he went to go into business for himself.
Not until this morning could we get any information as to the
cause of the young man's death. We were shown a telegram this
morning from Ed. Regenhardt to his father informing the family that
Ernst died from the bursting of a blood vessel. He was not sick a
day and as he lived only a short time after the bursting of the
blood vessel his suffering was of short duration. Ernst Regenhardt
was the youngest son of Mr. William Regenhardt of this city and he
was a son of whom any father could well afford to be proud of, for
a nobler young man was never born. In years he was not yet a man,
but in many ways in actions and in all that goes to make a true and
worthy man and good citizen, he was all. He was courteous, obliging,
and kind to all with whom he had any acquaintance, and we can truthfully
say that all his acquaintances were all his friends.
His death, coming suddenly and unexpected as it did, is a
terrible shock to a father who idolized him as his baby son. While
that father is bowed down with grief almost unbearable he must not
imagine that he and his family are the only ones that are mourning
the loss of this noble young man, for such is not the case. The
whole community is deeply grieved for they knew the young man and
loved him for his many and manly qualities.
The remains of the young man arrived here Wednesday evening
and his funeral took place from the residence of his father at ten
o'clock Thursday morning.

Address

Delivered at the Funeral of William Regenhardt

April 9,1903

Psalm 112, 6.:
"The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance."


When William Regenhardt drew his last breath at half past ten o'clock last Tuesday morning, a good man, a prominent and distinguished citizen, a highly esteemed and valuable member of the Lutheran Church, the honored head of a family, and the cherished friend of many of his fellow-men passed form time into eternity. In his demise a long and useful career on earth has reached its end. Large is the number of those who lament his death. It includes not only his faithful spouse, children, grandchildren andother near of kin; it includes also a large circle of personal friends, business associates and a host of men who formerly or of late were in the employ of the deceased; it includes our whole city and county; it includes the members of the Lutheran church in this city of which the deceased was an old member and a faithful officer for many years. Among the member of mourners is also his pastor who loved and esteemed the deceased very highly as a precious child of God by faith in Christ Jesus. I ventur
But the time of his departure was come, and his soul, in peace with God and man, passed into another, a better and brighter world. Our loss is his gain. It devolves on us to bring his earthly remains to their last resting place on earth. I deem it a privilege to officiate at his funeral and to pay this tribute of love and respect to his memory. For he was one of "the righteous" of whom our text speaks, saying that they "shall be in everlasting remembrance".
"The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance", says the Psalmist. Who are the righteous? Righteousness may be considered under two heads, as righteousness before men and as righteousness before God. The two must not be confounded. The one belongs to the province of nature, the other to the province of grace. The one is a very desirable thing in the sphere of civil life, the other is an important factor in the sphere of spiritual life. The one is the result of our own endeavors under divine providence, the other is the righteousness of Christ appropriated by faith.
In the first place, there is such a thing as civil righteousness or virtuousness. It consists of leading an outwardly honorable and virtuous life before our fellow-citizens. Civil virtues render a man righteous in the eyes of his fellow-men. Such civil righteousness cannot be recommended and praised too highly in this life. Law-abiding citizens, faithful husbands, men that are upright and honest in word and deed and reliable in their dealings, are a great boon to any community, are the mainstay and support, the pillars and sustainers of family, society, and state. God himself demands such virtues and rewards them in this life with temporal blessings. It is mainly this righteousness of which the Book of Proverbs (chap. 14, 34) is speaking when it says, "Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people." By divine providence honesty is still the best policy, and virtue finds its reward.
Of such civil righteousness our departed friend and fellow-citizen was a glorious type. Born, cradled and reared in Germany, in a village of the Duchy of Brunswick, he came to this country in 1849 at the age of twenty-one and since October of that year has been without interruption a resident citizen of Cape Girardeau. Being one of its oldest, he was at the same time one of its best citizens. He was a man who, as to the virtues which go together to constitute good citizenship, far excelled many and would bear comparison with any. He was plain, economical, and temperate in his habits; fair and considerate toward his fellow-men; conservative in his opinions; charitable in his judgments; slow to speak, but when he did speak, every word full of marrow andto the point. He was of a kind and tender-hearted disposition; to refuse a favor asked for was to him well nigh an impossibility. He was a peaceful neighbor, having a strong dislike against quarreling. He was kind and generous to those who were in h
But he was still more. He was also a Christian, who stood high in the estimation of his fellow-Christians, whose memory will be cherished in the church of which he was an active member for many years, and whose departure has inflicted a loss which will be felt by his fellow-Lutherans for years to come. He took a lively interest in the affairs of the church, was a regular attendant at the public worship and at the lord's table; for twenty years and longer he was member of the Board of Trustees, president of the congregation and chairman at its regular monthly meetings, placing his remarkable ability for conducting a public meeting, his experience, his soundness of judgment, his conservative advice, his extensive influence and other gifts at the disposal of his church. His services were at all times valuable and were highly appreciated. His memory will ever be blessed among us.
But there is still another righteousness which is of far greater value for time and eternity than the one that we have hitherto been speaking of. That is the righteousness which is available in the sight of God. It is the righteousness of Christ which is procured for all men and is imparted of all believers. Civil virtues and Christian graces may render a man righteous in the eyes of his fellow-men and fellow-Christians, but will never justify him before God. And why not? God demands perfect obedience to his law, not only in some outward things, but in desires, thoughts, words, and deeds. Outward conformity to the divine law does not satisfy him, but he looks at the heart and will have us to be pure in heart, holy and without any evil lust, fearinghim and loving him above all things; and all our thoughts and words and deeds are to proceed from such fear and love of God. And he that offends against the divine law in a single point is guilty of all. And since no man can keep them, no man is just
this righteousness of Christ actually become partakers of the same and are justified before God. To live up to the so-called Golden Rule is indeed our duty, but since we all come short of fulfilling it perfectly we can not be saved thereby, and if we areto receive for forgiveness of sins and be justified before God, it must be not by our works, but by the grace of God, for Christ's sake, through faith. And in this and in no other way was our departed friend justified before God, and in this and in no other way did he want to be righteous in God's sight. He knew and acknowledged that in spite of his civil virtuousness and Christian conversation he was a sinner deserving divine wrath and eternal condemnation. But he also knew and recognized his Savior Jesus Christ and firmly believed that there was salvation for men in nothing save the grace of God and the merits of Christ. Thus he was righteous before God, and was of the number of "the righteous" who "shall be in everlasting remembrance", who shal
May the memory of William Regenhardt ever remain green among us. May his life and his faith be an example to us prompting us to follow in his foot-steps, striving to be good and useful men and women, and, above all, seeking the kingdom of God and his righteousness. And may we all die the death of righteous, and may our last end be like his. Amen.

Since the "Era", backed by its Main Street syndicate is attempting to direct who shall be Mayor, and at the same time giving the Germans and colored citizens continuous complaints of unsavory character, it will be well to inform the "Era" man that Main Street and Main Street influence has run the town for years, and the time has now arrived for a change. And to please the "Era" man we, citizens of the 2nd and 3rd Wards, nominate our worthy councilman and fellow citizen, W. Regenhardt, as our candidate for Mayor, and if he will accept, we are pleased to state that his friends will place him in the Mayoralty by a decidedly handsome majority. Let the people be heard and Main Street influence in our city affairs will be more limited.

A GOOD MAN GONE

William Regenhardt Passed Away Tuesday Morning

A Life Crowned with Good Deeds Comes to an End

William Regenhardt, aged and respected citizen, known and loved by every man, woman, and child in Cape Girardeau, passed away at 10:30 last Tuesday morning at his home on Independence Street, between Sprigg and Frederick, after a life of usefulness and good deeds that is seldom if ever equalled.

No man has ever lived in Cape Girardeau who was better known or liked. He had lived here for years and was always spoken of with respect, good will, and reverence. A better man and a better friend never lived, and in his death Cape Girardeau and its people lose a valuable man.

The news of his death came as a great shock, as it was given out last night that he was much better and that the chances for his recovery were improved. This morning, however, it became apparent that the end was near and the family and friends were summoned to his bedside. The end came peacefully, the aged sufferer being concious to the last.

The deceased was 75 years old, having passed the birthday in February. He leaves a widow, two sons and one daughter, who were at the bedside when the last breath was drawn.

Mr. Regenhardt was born February 20, 1828 at Alshausen, Braunshweig, Germany.

Douglas: History of Southeast Missouri, pg 501:

In 1859 the Cape Girardeau, Pilot Knob & Belmont Railroad Company was organized to construct a road from Pilot Knob to Bel- mont, by way of Cape Girardeau. William C. Ranney was made president of the company, arrangements were perfected and a large private subscription obtained for the stock of the company. The county of Cape Girardeau voted to take two hundred thousand dollars worth of the company's stock. It seemed that the railroad would be built and it probably would have been but for the breaking out of the Civil war. Nothing was done during that period, but after the close of the war the matter was taken up again. A company was organized, known as the Cape Girardeau & State Line Railroad Company, with intention to build a road from Cape Girardeau to some point on the Arkansas line. The company was organized April 27th, 1869, with the following directors : G. C. Thilenius, John Albert, T. J. Rodney, Robert Sturdivant, John Ivers, A. B. Dorman, M. Dittlinger, L. F. Klostermann, William Woeleke, F.

The company started off with very flattering prospects, there was a large private subscription to the bonds and the city of Cape Girardeau voted to take a hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth and the township of Cape Girardeau the same amount. The bonds were sold and with the money the work of construction was begun. Through bad management, however, the funds were exhausted before a single mile of the road was finished. It was then determined to build the road by contract. Accordingly an agreement was entered into with Governor Fletcher and his associates to build the road, and for their services they were to receive a deed to the roadbed, provided they completed twenty-five miles by December 1, 1871.
Governor Fletcher then proceeded to organize a company known as the Illinois. Missouri & Texas Railway Company and issued bonds to the amount of $1,500,000 secured by mortgage on the property of both companies. The bonds found no sale however, and it became impossible to secure funds. The project of building the road was abandoned for ten years. A considerable amount of work had been done in building bridges and in laying ties and throwing up a roadbed; all these suffered very materially during the years when nothing was done, the wood work decayed and the roadbed was washed away by the rain and grew up in brush.
