From The Quarrying Industry of Missouri, Published circa 1905. Pages 113-114. Book located in the University of Missouri-Rolla Library, January 18, 1993.

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.


Southeat Missourian - Out of the Past:

Nov. 27, 1904
Edward F. Regenhardt returns from St. Louis with six bricklayers, and now the brick work on the new Normal School building will be rushed; if the weather continues to cooperate, the building will be completed by June.
Feb. 16, 1905
In the coal famine now facing Cape Girardeau, only one man has come forward to offer relief to suffering people; that man is Ed. Regenhardt; Regenhardt, who owns a marble quarry west of town, has several carloads of screenings in storage for his mill.
June 2, 1905
Thousands of people were attracted to the Cape City Brick plant west of the Cape Girardeau late last evening by a fire which destroyed one of the buildings; the large building west of the engine house and near the Cape and Chester Railroad was in heavy flames before it was discovered; A.R. Ponder, T.M. Williams, Ed Regenhardt, E.W. Flentge, M.E. Leming and other prominent citizens directed the fire-fighting efforts with the fire chief and his men.
June 26, 1905
Ed Regenhardt breaks the small bone in his arm early in the morning; while working at his quarry, his arm is thrown against the derrick, and the bone is broken; he is now sporting a plaster cast.
Nov. 16, 1905
Edward F. Regenhardt, the contractor for the Normal School buildings, has about completed his work on the immense Academic building, which is the finest school building in Missouri; Regenhardt's work has been beyond expectations, and as the building may not be formally dedicated for some time, it is possible he will invite the public to call Sunday and inspect the structure.
Nov. 18, 1905
Edward Regenhardt, builder, says he will throw open the doors of the new academic hall at the Normal School tomorrow from 1 to 5 p.m.; he specially invites his hundreds of friends to be present and look over the building; he states, however, that if it should rain and the Normal grounds around the new building should become muddy, it won't be opened; he is at a point of turning it over to the state and cannot take the risk of having it damaged in any way.
Nov. 25, 1905
Because of the rainy weather last Sunday, contractor Edward F. Regenhardt didn't open the new Normal School building to the public as he had planned; instead, if the weather is nice, he will throw open the doors to public inspection tomorrow.
Nov. 27, 1905
Probably the greatest crowd of Girardeans to ever visit the Normal School at one time was there yesterday afternoon to take a first look at the interior of the great Academic Hall; it is believed more than 5,000 people walked the halls of the new building; the building stands as a monument to the skills of contractor Edward F. Regenhardt.
SAVED: Academic Hall. After the fire destroyed the original Normal School building in 1902, plans were quickly drawn up for Academic Hall at the same location. The legislature authorized an appropriation of $200,000, and work on the new structure began in1903. The architect for the hall was J.B. Legg, and the general contractors were Edward F. Regenhardt and C.O. Allen Maule of Cape Girardeau. The building was opened for public viewing in December 1905 and was put to use early in 1906. It has become the symbol of Southeast Missouri State University.

Dec. 15, 1905
Since the public visited the new Academic Hall at the invitation of the contractor, Edward F. Regenhardt, the upper sections of the windows in the auditorium have been filled with fine stained glass; these windows bear coats of arms and inscriptions commemorative of the history of the Louisiana Purchase, as well as men who were benefactors of education in Missouri.
Jan. 16, 1906
At last week's meeting of the board of regents of the Normal School, contractor E.F. Regenhardt turned the Academic Hall over to the school; the great building is finished, so far as Regenhardt is concerned, and all that remains to be done is completing of the heating and lighting apparatus, which will be done this week.
March 22, 1906
According to Edward F. Regenhardt, Cape Girardeau contractor, his big quarrying plant will start operation tomorrow; it has been idle for some time because of the severe weather; the department of stone trimming will begin at once, and in a short time thework in the shaft will resume; Regenhardt plans to start a new shaft just north of the present hole, filling in the old place with the refuse from the new.
April 14, 1906
E.W. Flentge, Edw. W. Regenhardt and Charles Stones of Cape Girardeau go to Jackson to attend a session of the county Republican committee.
May 1, 1906
The county court is sitting in executive session at Jackson with the courthouse building committee; they are examining bids for the courthouse; there are four bidders for the big job, including Ed Regenhardt of Cape Girardeau, Taylor & Morton of Jackson, one from Kentucky and one from Florida.
May 7, 1906
Squalls and excitement mark the regular meeting of the city council; that body finally passes the sewer ordinance, as well as a measure granting a franchise to the street railway; Edward Regenhardt, a bidder on street improvement work, demands to be heardwhen the council seems ready to accept bids lower than his.
May 30, 1906
Edward Regenhardt is a busy man; his quarry is supplying stone to several projects in other towns, including Advance, Mo., Oran, Mo., and Bradwell, Ky.
June 3, 1906
Teachers for the Juden School District have been appointed for next year; Elsie Regenhardt of Cape Girardeau will teach at Juden School, about four miles north of the city, and A.E. McGuire will have charge of the district's black school; classes will begin about Oct. 1.
June 11, 1906
Fourteen of the 27 members of the county Republican committee met at Jackson Saturday and organized; Blucher Sperling was made chairman, Edward F. Regenhardt vice chairman, Henry Puls secretary, and J.D. Porterfield treasurer.
Sept. 6, 1906
Edward F. Regenhardt has prepared a block of marble from his Cape Girardeau quarry that will be sent to J. Knox Taylor, supervising architect of the treasury and who will make the plans for the federal building which will be built in Cape Girardeau; it ishoped the government can be persuaded to use local marble in the construction of this building.
April 20, 1907
Suit has been filed in the Court of Common Pleas against M.T. Lowman & Co., of Louisville, Ky., by Edward F. Regenhardt for $450, being a claim for stone used in construction of the new county courthouse at Jackson; Regenhardt claims that the account has been due for six months or more, and that repeated attempts to collect the bill have been fruitless.
Feb. 2, 1908
The Republican county convention held yesterday at Jackson was the best attended and most harmonious meeting of the kind ever held in Cape Girardeau County; speeches were made by Judge John A. Snider, Fred Kies, E.W. Flentge, E.F. Regenhardt and L.R. Johnson; delegates and alternates to the congressional and state conventions were selected.
Feb. 8, 1908
A message from Fred Naeter, one of the publishers of The Daily Republican newspaper and a delegate to the congressional convention at West Plains, Mo., reveals that the convention chose Edward Regenhardt as one of the two delegates to the national convention, where William H. Taft is expected to be nominated as candidate for president on the Republican ticket.
July 28, 1908
Ground was broken yesterday for the foundation of The Daily Republican newspaper's new home in the 200 block of Broadway; Jerome Legg, who designed Academic Hall, is the architect for the new building, and Edward Regenhardt is the contractor.
Sept. 5, 1908
Edward Regenhardt is rushing two jobs on Broadway; The Republican building is built up to the second story, and the old Ruesskamp property is rapidly disappearing to make room for the Federal Building.

Men of Affairs of St. Louis

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.

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.

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.
