The Edward F. Regenhardt Quarries

Mr. Regenhardt operates two quarries, one the "Normal" quarry, is located just east of the fair grounds, near the west limits of the city; and the other is located two miles south of the city, just beyond the Killebrew quarry.
The Normal quarry consists of a single irregular opening, 70 feet east and west and 100 feet north and south, having a maximum vertical face of 35 feet. This quarry was opened in 1901 to obtain the stone to be used in the Normal School building at Cape Girardeau.
This stone is coarsely crystalline, heavily bedded limestone, having much the appearance of marble. It is almost pure white in the bottom of the quarry, but has a faint pinkish or bluish gray tint near the surface. Fine structure joints occur from two inches to three feet apart. The stone contains small cavities, known locally as "sand holes". These are not sufficiently abundant to cause any considerable waste.
The quarry is covered with a very light stripping of clay. Large irregular cavities and open joints, resulting from weathering, occur throughout the quarry, These are usually filled with red clay, which occasionally extends to the bottom of the quarry. These cavities and open joints make it difficult to obtain large blocks, free from the effects of weathering. It is the practice to quarry irregular blocks by hand and saw them in the mill. The stone in the upper part of the quarry is said to be harderthan that deeper down. It can be sawed at an average rate of two inches per hour. The stone works nicely under the hammer, and has a pleasing appearance when used as in the Normal school buildings at Cape Girardeau. An excellent grade of white lime ismanufactured out of this stone.
This quarry is equipped with a Wordwell channeling machine, a crushing plant and two gang saws.
The second quarry operated by Mr. Regenhardt is located about two miles south of the city on a bluff just south of the Killebrew crusher, on land leased from St. Vincent's college. It has a face 70 feet long and about 15 feet high. The following are thethicknesses of each of the beds from top to bottom: 4 ft., 1 ft. 5 in., 1 ft. 8 in., 1 ft. 9 in.,1 ft., 1 ft. 10 in., 1 ft, 2 in., 2 ft. 4 in., 1 ft. 2 in., 1 ft. 8 in. Some of the stratification planes have a black color. Near the crossing of these planes and the joints the stone weathers more rapidly than in other parts of the quarry.
All the stone in this quarry has the same general texture and color. It is a very fine grained, compact limestone, having a brownish black to very dark blue color. It is very hard and breaks with a sub-conchoidal fracture.
The major joints strike N 40° - 50° W. A minor set strikes N 55° E. These parting planes are taken advantage of in quarrying an are sufficiently far apart to permit the removal of blocks of practically any required dimensions.
The stone has been used in the basement of the new Normal school buildings and in other structures in Cape Girardeau, The dark color of the stone is in striking contrast with the nearly white "Cape marble".

The William Regenhardt Quarry

This quarry is located near the north limits of the city and is situated on one of the Mississippi River bluffs. The stone, which is known as the Thebes of Cape Girardeau sandstone, caps the hills along the river. The first stone used in Cape Girardeau was obtained from this formation.
It is a yellow, fine grained sandstone which is soft when first quarried but hardens upon exposure, the formation is about fifteen feet thick and consists of beds from three feet to six feet in thickness. When used above ground, it appears to be very durable, as shown by a dwelling built out of it in 1853. For half a century, this building has been exposed to the weather without showing any very marked evidence of deterioration. At one time, this stone was shipped quite extensively through the extremesoutheastern part of Missouri along the Mississippi River. At present very little is being quarried.
The face of the quarry is about 600 feet long and 15 feet high. It is covered with a stripping of twenty feet of loess, on account of which, it is said to have been abandoned.

Edward Franz T. Regenhardt

Edward Franz T. Regenhardt can be justly called the original rock ribbed Republican. His sons are named after three presidents; McKinley, Roosevelt, and Taft. Cape Girardeau people hunt him out whenever they come to the U. S. Court House where he reigns, six feet six, as United States Marshal.

He is a strong, rugged man; a man who started in the Lutheran Schools and hewed his way out to success with his two hands; descendant of sturdy German stock, born March 24, 1867 at Cape Girardeau and known everywhere. When President Taft sent into Missouri to know who was wanted as U.S. Marshal, he expected a host of candidates. Some people recommended Franz, some Edward, and some Ed., but one and all gave the last name as Regenhardt; and Regenhardt got it. And since then he has earned the respect of the bench and bar for his sterling honesty, his willingness to give everyone a square deal, and his ability to make good. Up and down, sideways and across, through and through he is just what he appears to be a native born Missourian and a credit to hisstate.

This Newspaper Reference Library book, containing portraits, biographies, and cartoons of progressive men of St. Louis, who have helped in the development and history making of St. Louis

church, which he attended regularly so long as his health
permitted, He was very positive in his views yet most charitable
with those who honestly differed with him. His love for his
country and his patriotism was outstanding throughout his life.
Always a great reader he could converse intelligently upon any
subject of the day. The editor of the Cash-Book considered him one
of his warm, personal friends. Although we did not agree upon many
subjects our friendly arguments were greatly enjoyed.

In addition to his widow he leaves three daughters, Mrs. C. A.
