| 1707 | 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. | Woehleke, William (85094471)

| 1712 | Dr. Hickman’s Death Causes Much Sorrow Highly Esteemed Citizen Passed Away In St. Louis Hospital Tuesday Night. The sad news reached friends here late Tuesday night, March 2, that Dr. John L. Hickman, a long-time resident of Piedmont, well known and universally respected throughout Wayne and Iron counties, had passed away that evening at Barnes Hospital, St. Louis.Death was due to a complication of diseases. Dr. Hickman had been critically ill for two months. After being treated at his home on Highway 34 just east of the city limits, for some two or three weeks, he was taken to Brandon Hospital, Poplar Bluff, where he remained under the care of staff physicians for a month. His condition failed to improve, and a week ago last Friday, he was removed to Barnes Hospital in the hope that specialists connected with that institution would be able to restore his health. But, although he had the best of care and skilled attention, he continued to fail, and the end came about ten o’clock. The body was brought to Gish Funeral Home Wednesday morning and lay in state there Wednesday. The funeral will be held at the Methodist Church in this city at two o’clock Friday afternoon, March 5, and burial will be made in the Des Arc cemetery. Dr. Hickman was a devoted member of the Methodist church, and the church service will be in charge of his pastor and close friend, Rev. T. E. Smith. The service at the grave will probably be conducted by Wayne Lodge No. 526 A. F. & A. M., of which deceased hadbeen a faithful member for many years. Surviving is his wife, Mrs. Maude Hickman, and three children, one son, Orestes Hickman of Kansas City, two daughters, Mrs. Frieda Long of Des Arc, and Mrs. Lenna Rayfield of St. Louis. He was about 65 years of age. Dr. Hickman was a splendid citizen, a faithful friend and a good neighbor. He was devoted to his family, and was affable and congenial to all. He was known far and wide throughout this section of the state, and his passing will be deeply mourned by all who knew him and admired his many virtues of head and heart. His place in the life of the community will, indeed, be hard to fill. We hope to have an obituary for next week’s issue. | Hickman, Dr. John Layfayette DVM (98659727)

Dr. Bahn went on to complete a residency in periodontics at the Louisiana State University-New Orleans. There were a few jokes at this point about Taylor being a professional student. He practiced periodontics in Cape Girardeau for 33 years, while being the only periodontist between St. Louis and Memphis for most of that time. While in Memphis, Taylor began playing rugby at the center and winger positions with the Old No. 7 Rugby Club and also played on the Kansas City Rugby Club, where he made and maintained many lasting friendships. Two of his friends and their families later formed the 'Alpha Dog' Ski Team with Taylor and his crew. Taylor married Nancy Jo Wilson of Harviell, Missouri, in 1982 and began practicing periodontics in 1984. He was raised as a Presbyterian, but became a member of La Croix United Methodist Church and enjoyed Bible Study with friends at Centenary UMC. He was a devoted and loving husband, father and grandfather to his family, and a good friend to many others. Taylor was a gentle spirit, a kind man with a congenial personality while possessing good humor and a dry wit. He was a good cook and perfected his world famous seafood gumbo recipe. Taylor enjoyed duck hunting and training the family's retrievers, Buck and Suzy; he also liked canoeing, camping, taking care of the family farm, and other outdoor activities. Taylor was an avid sports enthusiast for all sports on the television and in person. He served as Scout Leader for son Jackson's Troop 5 Boy Scout Patrol. He also enjoyed dance recitals, swim meets and all his children's high school activities, among them being Carsen's tennis team matches. Taylor was active with coaching all three children's recreational soccer teams, and Caitlin's traveling U-15 Girls' Sabres Soccer Team to a first place finish in the Missouri Kellogg Bowl. Taylor was a member of the American Academy of Periodontology, attaining his Diplomat Status; the Missouri Dental Association; the Southeast Dental Society, serving as president, and the local Implant Study Club. He judged the Regional High School Science Fair annually and was pleased to give the Bahn Award to many outstanding science fair winners. Taylor is survived by his wife, Nancy Bahn, and their children, Caitlin Rebecca Bahn (Kirtley) Weitzel of Belle Isle, Florida; Jackson Taylor (Samantha) Bahn of Salida, Colorado, and Dr. Agnes Carsen Eileen Bahn of Cheyenne, Wyoming; two grandchildren, Beya Lane and Raphael Grimm Bahn; a brother, William (Janna) Bahn of Santa Fe, New Mexico; and numerous cousins, other relatives and friends from near and far. He was preceded in death by his parents, Dr. E. Lawrence and Leta Lewis Bahn, and The family wishes to thank all friends and family who have been praying for Taylor and offering words of support, which has made this trial lighter. Taylor maintained his good humor to the end and was without complaint. Taylor is in heaven laughing with his parents and good friends, Drs. David Crowe and Robert Leyen. He will be missed. Visitation will be from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at Centenary United Methodist Church, 300 N. Ellis in Cape Girardeau. Funeral service will follow at noon Saturday at the church. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to The Tailor Institute for Autism or to a charity of choice. | Bahn, Lawrence Taylor (40020980)

| 1715 | DRAKE, MISSOURI JANUARY 7, 1877 The grace of Lord Jesus Christ be with you! Amen! My dear friends, Henry Berger and wife, nee Miss Minnie Engelbrecht, H. W. Tappmeyer and H. Buchholz are comforting you brothers and sisters, who are alone this Sunday evening. Strange you may think this to be, but it is nevertheless true, for God’s ways are often inscrutable. I am obliged to convey the sad intelligence to you that Father and Mother Engelbrecht are now in eternity. I shall endeavor to give you the details as well as I can. You knew that Father Engelbrecht was ill all winter, often had high fever and was in a weakened condition. A few days before Christmas he was so ill that he had to remain in bed. Severe pains in his abdomen made the calling of the physician imperative who mitigated the pain; however, Father Engelbrecht had little resistance. His inflamed urinary bladder caused great distress; usually he left his bed to relieve the pressure, but since last Wednesday he was unable to do this. Though weak and exhausted, and no longer able to speak, he remained rational. He breathed his last at one o’clock on Thursday afternoon, falling asleep peacefully, trusting in Jesus. He witnessed triumphantly Tuesday evening, while I visited him, that his soul was hidden in Jesus and that he prayed to depart with Jesus. We grant him this heavenly rest, knowing that he has been a crossbearer and yearned to be released. Mother Engelbrecht and your brothers and sisters nursed him tenderly and seldom left his bedside. He was laid to Mother Engelbrecht seemed to bear up bravely, but as you know, she was pregnant, and on Friday evening preceding the burial on Saturday, the midwife was called; however, the labor pains subsided until we left the home with the body of Father Engelbrecht. Toward evening that Saturday a daughter was born. Complications set in which necessitated the calling of the physician, who, however, was powerless to aid. Only the Lord could help, but He deemed it wise to call her from the midst of her children. This morning at four o’clock she finished her course, and on Tuesday morning at ten o’clock we shall bury her. Strange indeed, are the ways of the Lord! One is inclined to question the wisdom of God in calling both parents when so many children still need the loving care of devoted parents, but it behooves us to yield and to trust, confident that the Lord knows best and does not err. This sad announcement must grieve your sorely, dear friends, as it has us, especially since we are concerned about the infant and are thinking of its future welfare. The Wehmhoners will in all probability take care of the child. Their daughter is with us this evening and is nursing the infant. My beloved, I must hasten to a conclusion. I find it rather difficult to give you all of the details, because I was not present at all times. The children are grief-stricken and requested me to write to you. Please, write soon, and remember your sorrowing brothers and sisters in prayer. Let us all bow ourselves under the hand of God and trust Him, for He has promised to exalt us in due time and to care for us if we cast all our care on Him. The Lord be with you and you with Him! Written in response to the request of the Engelbrecht children. Greetings to all! | Engelbrecht, Casper Heinrich (33728896)

This block was raised from the bottom of the fifty foot level and set down at the door of the mill ready to be placed under the saws. This will be sawed into lintels 9' long, 22" broad and 13" thick for the Academic Hall.

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. Sept. 17, 1908 E.F. Regenhardt is advertising the sale of old brick, stone, doors, rods, gutters, building wood, etc., the remains of the old Ruesskamp house he tore down to make room for the new federal building. Oct. 6, 1908 Edward F. Regenhardt appeared before the Cape Girardeau City Council last night when he filed his bond for the construction of the new city hall, fire and police station; Regenhardt is to complete the hall within 90 working days. Jan. 28, 1909 The concussion felt in Cape Girardeau in the morning isn't of seismic origin; the cause is simply the tumbling of big Ed Regenhardt into the basement of the new city hall building, which is under construction on Independence Street; the contractor isn't seriously injured. March 4, 1909 At a meeting last night, a slate of candidates for an "Industrial Ticket" for Cape Girardeau municipal offices was organized; the ticket consists of Merit E. Leming for mayor; Joel T. Nunn, collector; William H. Coerver, treasurer; Robert H. Whitelaw, city attorney; Lee L. Bowman, police judge; Antone Kammer, assessor; William H. Summers, marshal, and for aldermen, Joel T. Juden, E.F. Regenhardt, Will Hirsch and David A. Glenn. March 18, 1909 The new Duplex printing press for The Daily Republican has arrived and, as contractor E.F. Regenhardt expects to complete the foundation piers this week, arrangements have been made with the expert from the factory to be here next week to set up the machine; this will be the largest printing press in use between St. Louis and Little Rock, Ark. May 12, 1909 JEFFERSON CITY -- The Missouri House yesterday increased the appropriation budget, passing bills that will take an additional $24,011.75 from the state treasury; among the items was $5,382 to Edward F. Regenhardt for repairs to the Cape Girardeau Normal School. July 2, 1909 WASHINGTON -- Rep. Charles A. Crow, Edward F. Regenhardt and Harry Naeter of Cape Girardeau visit President William Howard Taft in the morning while all Cabinet officers are with the president. Aug. 16, 1909 About 20 prominent Cape Girardeau residents responded yesterday to the call issued by Edward F. Regenhardt for a meeting to lay preliminary plans for the Taft Day celebration in October; a 60-minute program was planned, which includes an automobile drive to the Normal School, where the president will address the crowd and plant a tree. Aug. 20, 1909 Edward F. Regenhardt, chairman of the Taft Day celebration committee, learns there will be special trains running to Cape Girardeau over two lines that day, bringing visitors from Poplar Bluff, Kennett, Campbell and Malden, Mo. _________________________________________________ 8/19/2004 Rob Lewis St. Louis Central Public Library Rare Book Room 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.

| 1729 | Edward Taft Regenhardt 1908-1996 Memoirs Written early 1995 Chapter 1 It all began on 2 April 1908 in a home close to the Normal Quarry where my father obtained the stone for the Academic Hall that he finished in 1906 and two other buildings all on the college campus. Like my two brothers, William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt, I too was given the name of a president, Taft. And I was named after a man who became president as I was born on 2 April and Taft was not elected until November 1908. The same was true for my older brother, William. On October 26, 1909, President Taft was on his way to a Deep Waterways Convention to be held in New Orleans October 30 to November 3. Because the flotilla of 14 boats was passing Cape Girardeau around 5:00 AM no stop was planned. An executive committee with my father as chairman went to Washington. They convinced the President to stop in Cape Girardeau. At 4:00 AM when the fleet passed Neelys Landing north of Cape, the telephone operator rang all the phones giving all customers a 2-hour notice that the president was coming. The Miller’s 101 Ranch Wild West Show was in Cape at that time and they broke out all the cowboys and Indians, including William Cody (Buffalo Bill), winner of a Congressional Medal of Honor. In the parade from the riverfront to the college campus, my father and J. H. Himmelberger rode in the car with the president. I was told that my mother brought me out to the parade route and the president kissed me! What makes this so remarkable is that the population was approximately 8500. After a speech on the college campus my father joined the flotilla along with Fred Naeter and W. N. Harrison going to New Orleans as delegates to the convention. Soon after the Deep Waterways Convention President Taft appointed my father as U. S. Marshall in St. Louis. We moved to St. Louis first on Cleveland Avenue and later out to Jennings. On Cleveland Avenue we were close to Shaw’s Garden. I was told later I wasn’t happy going there as I thought the prone statue of Mr. Shaw was actually Mr. Shaw. While in Jennings my father would take me to the office once in a while. I remember lunch at the Gem Restaurant where my father and his cronies had a table reserved every working day. I remember one lunch on my father’s birthday. He had ice cream from I. Ben Miller’s in Cape sent up for the occasion. If you never had any of I. Ben Miller’s you missed a wonderful treat. My best buddy’s (Chester Brown, who retired from the Allied Chemical Corporation as Chairman of the Board) father was in charge of the plant so we had lots of free ice cream. During our last year in Jennings I started my schooling, which lasted one day. They teased me and when I got home I told my mother I was thru with school. Since I was so young my mother said OK. When my father was no longer the U. S. Marshall we moved back to Cape to a rental house on North Street. The house was on the north side of the street, the 2nd house west of the Frederick Street intersection. 2 At this time my sister Norma had a teaching certificate and was teaching the 7th grade at the Washington School. On the first September when we were in Cape, my mother one morning got me up and dressed me in my Sunday clothes. I asked what the occasion was and my mother said I was going to start school. I replied that I was not. This stalemate lasted some time until my father appeared at the door with a switch in his hand. About halfway up the hill I agreed that I would go to school. The Uhls lived on the corner just east of our place and every time I saw her (Helen Uhls), she would relate the story of my father, me, and the switch. When my father awoke each morning, my mother was at his bedside with his clothes for the day and helped him dress. I thought that this was a good way to start the day, so when I got married I tried the routine with my Irish wife. What worked for a German wife, didn’t work for an Irish wife! While at school I remember riding a friend’s bicycle. Ben Miller’s bike, son of the ice cream man. I was showing off, riding without holding the handlebars. I crossed the intersection of a dead-end street when a rural mail carrier entered the intersection in a Model T Ford. He hit me broadside and didn’t turn his wheels as he thought he might run over me. He didn’t know that my belt was hooked over the crank and my head was the first thing to hit the curb. Took a few stitches at the time, but in the late forties I started having double vision. An eye doctor put me on a program to correct the vision and also said that I must have had a severe blow to the head. I finally reached the 7th grade, and had my sister as my teacher. At the time I had a paper route and when she had contests for selling tickets to some benefit I always won the contests, which really disturbed her. Finally left the 7th grade and went to Central High School. Was there for six weeks when the study hall teacher and librarian resigned to get married. Who got her job? Sister! Going back to my paper route, it was during World War I. Since there were no radios or TVs the people got their news by newspaper extras. We were called at all hours day or night, from classrooms, our beds to sell extras. On the Armistice signing I sold over 100 papers in three blocks. My brother Bill was in the Navy during the war. The story told me was that during World War I a neighbor of ours on Themis Street told my father that all German Americans should be deported. With a son in the Navy, my brother Bill, this statement upset my father. He reached out, grabbed the front of Mr. Taylor’s coat, raised him up to dad’s eye level and told him what he thought of the remark and then lowered him back to the ground. I understood he was as white as a sheet and I am sure he never repeated the remark again. As I grew older, every day my father became more of a hero to me. But it wasn’t until my great nephew, Rob Lewis, started to send me information about my father that I realized how wonderful it would have been to have all of that information when I was a teenager. He wasn’t only successful in two diverse businesses, but had time to perform civic duties for his city, state, and nation. Not many sons can say that a President of the United States bestowed a nickname on their father. President Taft called him the “Lighthouse of the Mississippi”. During my youth I had the pleasure of enjoying steamboating. On Wednesday and Saturday the steamboat would arrive from St. Louis laden with cargo and passengers. Each afternoon they had an excursion to Commerce, Missouri. Good food, dancing, 3 etc. We could board the boats on a trip to St. Louis. Stateroom Wednesday night, three wonderful meals on Thursday, stateroom Thursday night. Off the boat in St. Louis early Friday. All for $4.86. Each Spring the excursion boats would stop over on their annual trip from New Orleans to the upper Mississippi River. The same was true for the showboats. On their way back to New Orleans they would stop again each Fall. After my father returned to Cape after his job as U.S. Marshal, he became associated with the Harrison family in paving streets and highways. Each summer while in high school I worked for my father. In Poplar Bluff we roomed together. One day the Ku Klux Klan had a parade and rally. I missed the parade but went to the rally. At the rally I picked up some literature about the Klan. When my father saw it I thought he was going to beat me. But he firmly told me if I ever brought anything like that again I would suffer the consequences. I never did!! I also worked in Kennett, Chaffee, and my father’s first state highway job between Millersville and Fredericktown on Route 9. Graduated from High School in May, 1925. That year my father had a stroke and instead of going to college in Rolla, I stayed home and went to the Teacher College in Cape. My father passed away May 12, 1926. That Fall I enrolled at the Missouri School of Mines in Rolla, where I received a B.S. Degree in Civil Engineering in 1930. While at MSM I joined the Grubstaker Club and when they became part of the Triangle Fraternity System, I became a charter member and served as President in my Senior year. Each summer I worked with my brothers on paving highways. In fact, during my senior year they paved U.S. 66 from Rolla to Cuba, Missouri. That summer, while working by the fairgrounds, a circus arrived. The teamsters had trouble controlling their horses when the elephants went by. Also at noon, just when all the teams were at the feed wagon, they started playing the calliope. We spent the most of the afternoon rounding up the horses. At the Missouri School of Mines St. Patrick’s weekend was the school event of the year, as it was at all engineering schools, as St. Patrick was an engineer. At Rolla, St. Patrick, a junior, arrived on a railroad handcar. A big parade followed. Each fraternity tried to outdo each other with their float. During the weekend St. Pat would knight all Seniors. During the ceremony you had to kneel to kiss the Blarney Stone (a ceramic model of a woman’s breast). Since there were only ten females they got by with it. I am sure with the large increase in female students they use another Blarney Stone. Since there was a scarcity of females at MSM and Rolla, too, most of the fellows had their hometown sweethearts as their guest that weekend. All fraternity houses were turned over to the girls with chaperones. Students bunked where they could - private homes, motels, etc. Thursday night all of the fraternities have an open house dance, they staggered the hours. Some would start at 8:00 PM. some at 9:00 PM, 10:00 PM until all were open. I remember each home dance lasted 2 hours. On Friday night there was a Masquerade Dance at the gym with a nationally known band. One year I remember Coon and Saunder’s band played. Saturday nite was the Junior Prom, a formal dance, with the same band. When the train left at noon, it wasn’t long before most of us were in our own beds getting some much needed rest. The first year at the Missouri School of Mines I roomed with Mr. And Mrs. Cook. My roommate, also from Cape, was Dennis Miller. Our room was on the ground floor. Upstairs also from Cape were Clarence Weiss and Paul Weber, graduate students in chemistry. 4 One night I yelled out and either Clarence or Paul said what was wrong. Dennis replied that a bed bug had bitten my toe. The next morning I came to my room about 10:30 AM and Mrs. Cook had our bed stripped down to the box springs. One look at me and she knew we had tricked her. Left in a hurry and didn’t come back until the storm had passed. Clarence Weiss was brewmaster for Mr. Smith who had a pool hall in Rolla. Since this was during the days of Prohibition, home brew was quite popular. Clarence got half of each batch he brewed. One Saturday night when the Cooks were away for the weekend, Clarence had what we called a beer bust. Home brew, sausage, limburger cheese, etc. The next morning I was the first to leave the house to go uptown for my breakfast. When I got back and opened the front door you can’t imagine the odor. I aroused everyone and we opened all the windows. It helped, but not enough. The Cooks let us know that this was not to happen again. We concurred! Up Route U.S. 66 from Rolla there is a town called Bourbon. The State had a trout hatchery and the Von Hoffman Press Company had a lodge for their employees and customers. On a Sunday when there was a chance of rain we would put on our yellow slickers and Mrs. Cook would drive use to Bourbon and the hatchery. When there, one of us would kneel down, shielded by the rest of us and get two trout, one for each pocket. We all took turns. Believe it or not. Later, Mrs. Cook cleaned all the fish and fed us a fish dinner. In May 1930, I received a B. S. degree in Civil Engineering. I had a job offer from the Chicago Sanitary District, but Mother convinced me that I should go to work with my two brothers in the Regenhardt Construction Company, which I did. While with the company I was Assistant Superintendent on a highway bridge across the Black River in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. When we put the steel beams and tied them together, they raised up on one side about 1/2 inch. After checking our piers they decided that the rolling mill had barely stayed within the rolling tolerance. We ended up putting lead shims under each beam. 5 Chapter 2 Another thing that enters my mind. In the early 30’s we had no contract. At the time W. H. Harrison had allied himself with a dentist from Kansas City who had purchased some property from the county on the road between Cape and Jackson on which to build Memorial Park Cemetery. I took a crew over and did the grading and built the roads. Since my mother and sister where in Colorado while Sis went to summer school, I pitched a tent on the property. I had taken Sleepy and Rosie Chapman, a black couple, to the project. Rosie became our cook. At lunch one day on of the farmers we had hired for the grading with their teams asked Rosie where she got the corn on the cob we were having for lunch. She replied that Mr.Eddie went to town early that morning to buy it. She possibly was talking to the farmer that had the corn patch where she had picked it. When I graduated from college I thought that men who wore woolen underwear were sissies. That Fall we extended our paving season quite a bit. I had rented a room that had no central heating system or indoor plumbing. Getting up at about 4:30 am was really an experience. I would shudder when I looked at that pile of clothing I had to put on each day. Being outdoors for 14 hours, it didn’t have to be too cold for it to bother you. After getting up and making my trip to the outhouse and then going to a cafe with Bill Porter that was just opening and the owner was just getting the heating stove going . . . I was in woolen underwear real quick!! Since I was in charge of covering the concrete with burlap my days were longer than the rest of the crew. Concrete doesn’t set up fast in cold weather. Usually my days were 14 to 15 hours long. All for $1800 a year. Following are some more memories of my years with the family company: On one job we had a labor dispute between 2 counties. To protect ourselves supervisors worked 36 hours on, 12 off. We also had a deputy sheriff, who was a rather small man. Each evening after we shut down, our Black water boy, Foxy cleaned out the drum of the paver. One evening our small deputy put on a white sweater of mine. Then we turned off the gas supply to the light in the drum that Foxy was using. In a short time he came out to see what happened. Then he heard the moans coming from bushes on the side of the road. It was the sheriff in my sweater with no head showing and long white arms. One look and our water boy (Foxy) was on his way to the camp. He never cleaned the drum after that. On our job between Jackson and Fredericktown we had our first fatal accident. One of the laborers jumped off a truck while it was moving. He, with several others, came from the same community in a truck. When the owner of the truck was notified, at his request we put the body in the truck. We covered it with a tarp and finished the day’s work. In another accident near Compton, IL, a laborer got off a moving truck and hurt his head. Ted took him to a doctor in Compton who had an operating room. Ted was standing close to the table when the doctor cut the skin on the head. Blood got on Ted. A short time later Ted started having problems and he thought he caught a venereal disease from the blood. He later found out that when he had colitis, some organs had dropped down, causing his problem. Going back to our first highway contract: We had trouble with people driving thru our barricades. Bill put some tacks on the pavement one evening in front of the barricades. The first person to enter 6 was a district highway engineer. Our water boy, Foxy, at a safe distance, got on his knees and imitated Bill picking up tacks and apologize to the engineer at the same time as Bill was. Another Foxy story. He was very touchy, especially if somebody goosed him. On day he was walking with Bill carrying about a half a pail of water when somebody touched him. Up went the bucket and came back down on Bill’s head. All hell broke loose. One night in our camp the laborers were shooting dice when Sleepy Chapman shot and killed another laborer because the laborer was too friendly with Sleepy’s wife Rosey. He ran all the way to Bill’s house while Bill was on his way out to the camp. He later was put in jail. When the time came for a trial, the defense lawyer would get a continuance. Then Bill and Ted would fire some of the witnesses. After this went on a few times the case was dismissed because of the lack of evidence. Sleepy was one of the cement finishers and was the best I ever saw. He was a valuable asset to the company. If Bill Porter had trouble with the paver he would yell for Sleepy. One time we were approaching a bridge so the burlap truck would have to travel the county road to get past the bridge. One day I fired my truck driver and drove the truck myself with a laborer sitting on a pile of burlap on a flat bed truck as we headed around the bridge. On a county road my front wheels had just cleared a bridge when it collapsed. When I realized I wasn’t going to turn over I looked back and my laborer was on some burlap and swimming like hell in just enough water to get a little wet. When my father went from construction of buildings to highway construction he bought a fleet of trucks named Hug. Hug was the name of a highway contractor that saw the need of a specialized truck for paving highways. In the early days dry batches of concrete were hauled to the construction site where the mix was added to water in the drum of a paver. Each truck hauled two batches. The Hug trucks had a lifetime guarantee on the chassis. Every two years we would take the dump beds off and pull out the motors. The motors were sent to the Buda Co. for overhaul. Hug would send in a crew to tighten all loose rivets, replace them when necessary, as well as any other part of the chassis that was defective. The trucks were assembled in Highland, Illinois where I went many times to pick up spare parts. On one of my visits a truck had just come off the assembly line. It was to be used in a quarry operation and it had 12 speeds forward and 7 in reverse. If my memory is not faulty I think my father paid about $4500.00 for each truck. There was not a shiny piece of metal or a windshield on the trucks. The gas tank was under the driver’s seat and a missing gas cap often caused blisters, you know where. When Dad started on road paving he had a crew that handled the bags of cement. Instead of an hourly wage they got so much for each bag of cement used. This included emptying the railroad cars, placing the required number of bags on each truck and the emptying of the bags at the paver site. This reminds me that at Poplar Bluff our cement was in cloth bags. Each bag had to be shaken to garner all of the cement. That was my first job that summer. Every hour or so my father would open the door to the shed and ask how I was doing. My pride kept me from stating my real feelings. Fortunately after a few hours he gave me another job to do. In the early days the employees were black with the exception of machine operators and supervisors. A camp was set up to house the black employees. 7 During the off-season the employees could get money to tide them over to the new season, when they paid it back. We had very little turnover from season to season. Many Saturday nights we had to bail out an employee after his wife had charged him with domestic violence. We also set up a tent for gambling. Many Saturday nights I spent the entire night with the Blacks shooting dice. If you haven’t heard a Black talking to the dice you missed part of the folklore of the Blacks. On the other hand, if my luck was not good I got home early. Regenhardt Construction Company Original mechanics, machine operators, and supervisors: Charles Cole - Head bookkeeper Gene Andrews - bookkeeper Charles Kassel - Master Mechanic Walter Frenzel - Assistant Mechanic Frank Merritt - Assistant Mechanic Jack Quill - Crane Operator Earl Conroy - Hubert Morrison - Blade Operator Bill Porter - Paving Superintendent Bob Phillips - Paver Operator - Form trenching machine - Form setter - Form setter - Finishing Machine Sleepy Chapman - Concrete Finisher Notes on above employees and equipment: Charles Kassel was the finest mechanic I have ever known. He could do blacksmith work, welding, and work on both diesel and gas engines. When we purchased the Form Trenching machine it replaced 10 to 15 laborers A social note: While going to the Cape Teacher’s College, I dated Hortense Bagby. Her father was named Lee. At Rolla the following year I became involved with the school physician’s daughter, Helen Baysinger. Her father’s name was Lee. On to Compton and Mendota where I met and dated Helen Butler. Her father’s name was Lee. 3 H.B.’s and 3 Lee’s!!! Another thing that has bothered me is that my father was a brick and stonemason and had built numerous homes in Cape Girardeau and SE Missouri. I can’t figure out why he didn’t build one for his family. Until his death and shortly thereafter when my mother bought a house (at the intersection of Luce and West End Boulevard on the northwest corner) I had lived in rented houses. During the 1930’s I left the company as it became impossible to work with Bill. Shortly after Ted also left for the same reason. For the next few years I had a newsstand and soda fountain in Effingham, Illinois. I next worked for the Illinois State Highway Department and W.P.A. In 1940 I got a job with the Federal government with the Quartermaster Corp. of the Army building a powder plant on U.S. 66 south of Joliet known and the Kankakee Ordinance Works. When that job was finished the colonel in charge took six of us as key employees to start construction of a new plant in Clinton, Indiana close to Terre Haute. 8 Chapter 3 In the late 20’s or early 30’s Dwight F. Davis, donor of the Davis Cup in tennis, ran for Senator from Missouri as a Republican in the state primary. My father was his campaign manager. I am sorry to say he lost. When I was trying to get a Commission in the Civil Engineering Corps of the Navy Mr. Davis was Secretary of War. I wrote to him asking for his assistance in getting my commission. Received a terse reply - Army yes!! Navy no!! In January of 1943 I applied for a Commission in the Civil Engineering Corps of the U. S. Navy for service with the Seabees (Construction Battalions). I was turned down for being overweight at 286 pounds. In May they accepted me at 230 pounds with a 42-pound waiver. Lost 56 pounds in 5 months. In June I was sent to Camp Peary, VA for indoctrination. The indoctrination and later training was to prepare you for the rigors, trials, and tribulations for duty on some island in the war zone. After my indoctrination and further training I got a set of replacement orders. The order stated that I was to join the 49th Construction Battalion wherever it may be. When I showed the orders to a Yeoman in the headquarters he said I would get a new set of orders. This new set sent me to the Seabee Base in Davisville, Rhode Island for outfitting for duty on Island X. Three days later I left there with two wooden crates about 5 feet long and about a foot square on the way to Baltimore. There I reported to the Port Director who put me on a ship headed for my Island X. On arriving on my Island X I opened my crates. I had mosquito netting, pup tent, machete, carbine rifle ammunition and sundry other items. I couldn’t figure out how I would use these on my Island X, which was Bermuda!!! When I reported to my battalion skipper he assigned another officer to get me settled in our BOQ. He said on departing that he would pick me up a little early for dinner as they were having a party. At the appointed time we entered the Wardroom. From the door I could see a long table covered with beautiful white line tablecloths on which were elegant silver pitchers, etc. Booze flowed like water, with some wonderful snacks. This was my Island X. The next day the skipper called me into his office and asked me if I had ever unloaded cargo from a ship. I replied that the first ship I had been on was the one I arrived on. He said good, your extra duties will be as stevedore officer. While there we built a large warehouse, small piers, and numerous other structures. On unloading ships I was first assigned on the graveyard shift. At those hours I had to eat in the enlisted men’s mess. I found out that they were eating like kings. The Commissary chief was from a large catering firm in Boston and really knew what good food was. During the Christmas holidays our Battalion sponsored a Dinner Dance. Our chef closed out the dinner with a desert called Baked Alaska. When our tour ended in Bermuda I was assigned as an Equipment and Transportation Officer. 9 Just before our departure our skipper advised me that at 5:00 AM, I would report to the Pilot Shack in the Harbor and accompany the Pilot out to the ship. On board I was to figure out our loading diagram to speed our loading so that we could sail before the submarine nets were closed. The ship didn’t show up until 2:00 PM, which made it impossible to load before the nets were closed. I had to follow orders and went out with the pilot. When we reached the side of the ship the crew threw down a Jacob’s ladder. This ladder is made up of two ropes and wooden steps. One minute I was against the ship - the next minute I was out over the ocean. The fact that I couldn’t swim made this a terrifying experience and I am sure if you could find that ladder you can find my fingerprints imbedded in the ropes. 10 Chapter 4 Leaving Bermuda we went to the Seabee base in Davisville, Rhode Island. Although I had only been with the Battalion four months, I was granted a thirty-day leave. Before departure about five couples agreed to meet in New York about a week before going on to Davisville. While in New York we went to Billy Rose’s Diamond Horseshoe, Leon and Eddie’s, Rockefeller Center, the Music Hall, Statue of Liberty, and various other attractions. While in New York, I had a reunion with Ted and Lois as Ted was going to the Stevedore School. Some months later they discovered that Ted had TB and they released him from duty after a stay in the Navy Hospital in Oakland, California. On Memorial Day, another officer and yours truly picked 250 men each and participated in a parade in a small town (can’t remember the name). When the first unit reached a cemetery all the bands played a funeral dirge. It took a while to march to the new beat. While at Davisville we rented a room in the caretaker’s house on this small Rhode Island estate. Mr. Porter lived in the big house with two ladies and one man. One of the ladies was the housekeeper and the other one was the cook. The man was Butler and Chauffeur. Mr. Porter’s late wife was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and had turned their home in Providence over to the DAR as a museum. We started getting invitations to the big house for dinner. Later on we found out that Mr. Porter could have more drinks when he had company. Alone they let him have one drink. Jymme started having bridge parties in the gazebo. One time Mr. Porter took us down to the docks and told the captain of a fishing boat he wanted some clams. A peck of little neck clams was placed between us and we started shucking and eating clams on the half shell. I think I liked them better than oysters. Right down the street a family had a stand between the sidewalk and curb. Here you could get clam chowder, clam cakes and pie. All very delicious. From the summer proceeds they wintered in Florida. 11 Chapter 5 Left Davisville, Rhode Island for Camp Parks in California. After an uneventful stay in September of 1944 went to Port Hueneme, CA for shipping out to Guam. Our major project on Guam was building the housing facilities for Admiral Nimitz’ Advance Headquarters. The 94th NCB built the Administration buildings. When the 49th NCB left for Guam in September 1944 we had approximately 1,500 personnel. The average age was 38 years. We had master plumbers, electricians, carpenters, mechanics, etc. who were in their 60s. Being associated with all of this talent was the high point of my Navy career. When a battalion would leave a base on deployment many of the disbursing officers (Supply Corps Officers) would lock the safes. We had an enlisted man that never failed to open a locked safe. Good thing he was honest. When we setup camp on Guam on of my Chief Petty Officers asked me where I wanted the paint shop. I replied that with all the brand new equipment why a paint shop? The chief replied that when the equipment would need painting all of it would need it at the same time. It goes without saying that we immediately started painting brand new equipment. Later on the commanding called me to his office he congratulated me on my foresight. I told him he was patting the wrong person on the back and told him about my chief petty officer. The C.O. later commended the chief. While we are talking about painting, when we checked our manifest we had one two and on-half ton truck that was not on the manifest. I didn’t think it important so I never informed the C.O. Believe it or not it was one of the first items painted. Later on I was summoned to the C.O.’s office. He asked me if we had an excess truck. When I replied yes sir, another voice said I told you some S.O.B. had stolen my truck. After a reprimand I was dismissed. Sure glad to leave that office. Especially during one phase of my life I was very lucky. At the time I entered military service I was a civilian employee of the Federal government. When I entered the military the law, that applied to my volunteering stated that all the time I was in uniform Uncle Sam would put in my donation for Civil Service retirement. As a result, I worked as a civilian for 18 years and with my ten years in the military I got credit for 28 years on my civilian retirement. Luck number one: After I was released from active duty in November 1945 I went to work with the Corps of Engineers in Chicago and lived in Chicago. In 1948 I moved to Des Plains, Illinois and stated going to a neighborhood bar owned by a former Seabee. One night he advised me that the Navy was starting a Reserve program and if we earned 50 points a year, after 20 years we could get our retirement. You earned your points by going to meetings of a Reserve Unit, active duty, correspondence courses, and training duty. In fact the bar owner was establishing a Reserve Unit in Des Plains. I joined and in May of 1950 I had two weeks training at Great Lakes. Shortly thereafter I was called back to active duty and was on active duty until June 1957. 12 Luck number two: After getting out of uniform in 1957, I returned to civilian employment with the Navy. I joined a Reserve Unit and had some training duty. When I finally had my 20 years, it was the last year I would be eligible in rank. I am now on my second quarter of a century in retirement (2/25/96). Luck number three. On Guam I was introduced to different types of food, such as breadfruit, Land Crab, and Fruit Bat. I passed on the bat. The first one I saw in Guam had a wingspan of over two feet. They had one at the Wild Animal Park near Escondido. Recently I read in the paper that they were in short supply and they were importing them from the Philippines. They are a gourmet item. I ate some Land Crab and they tasted like coconut, which they could crack, open with their claws. Being 6’ 3’’ in height I had trouble with my Jeep on Guam. The canvas top kept beating me on the head. I posed my problem to mechanics in our shop. They solved the problem by taking the gas tank from under the driver’s seat and dropping the seat. A gas tank from a Japanese vehicle was hooked on the back of the Jeep. They raised the top and raised the drivers side more that the passenger side. It goes without saying that I got a lot of double takes from people I passed with a 6’3”, 240 pound driver and the Jeep slanting toward the passenger side. While on Guam I met two officers on Admiral Nimitz’ staff and we became real good friends. One of the officers was Vaughn Paul, in civilian life as assistant director at Metro - Golden - Mayer studios, and the other, Chuck Wheeler, was a cameraman at the Disney Studios. At the time we met Vaughn Paul, he was married to the musical star Deanna Durbin and during our tour on Guam they were divorced. Later on as an officer escort I picked up two nurses with the Army Command and brought them to our battalion wardroom for a party. One of the nurses was a red haired Irish gal who prior to the war was living in St. Louis with her brother who was a priest. Her name was Ethna Higgins. Can’t remember the name of the other nurse. After extolling their virtues and beauty to Chuck and Vaughn, I arranged a double date. This relationship lasted all the time we were together on Guam. After the war I got word that Vaughn had married Ethna and they had a daughter. In my office in Chicago the phone rang and when I answered a female voice started giving me a line. I finally gave up and she said she was the other nurse on Guam. She was on her way to Denver, but was held over in Chicago because of a bad storm in Denver. Jymme and I met her for dinner and found out she quit the nursing profession and was modeling. At the time she was the Revlon girl. She later married an air force officer she met on Guam and then I lost contact. About four years ago Wilma and I had lunch in the LA area with Chuck and Vaughn. Chuck lives in La Quinta and Vaughn lives in the Palm Springs area. 13 Chapter 6 When the war was over I went to work with the Army Corps of Engineers in Chicago located in the Merchandise Mart. We couldn’t find an apartment so we stayed in the Paxton Hotel on La Salle for about three years. We then bought one half of a two-story duplex in Des Plains, Illinois and commuted to work on the Northwest Railroad. This railroad is the only left-hand railroad in the U. S. as it was built by British interests. The couple that bought the other half had a son about four and gave birth to a daughter, who is my Goddaughter. She and her husband, a doctor, live in Farmington, Missouri and he has an office in Cape Girardeau. After I returned to civilian life in the late 40s my brother Bill bought my stock and Ted’s stock in the Regenhardt Construction Company. Up to the time of Bill’s death he had paid the 8 per cent interest, but no principal. After his death we had an attorney, Rush Limbaugh, to find out about the status of our stock. He informed us that Bill had left a note saying he was sole owner of the company and that it was too late to do anything about it. I have wondered what our shares would have been worth when the company was sold. 14 Chapter 7 In 1950 I was called back to active duty. Sold our duplex and reported to Port Hueneme, California for further indoctrination. When that was over I was assigned to MCB 103. Since I was the senior officer at the time I had the duty of organizing a new battalion. When organized we went to the Aleutian Islands on a Top Secret project. The scientists were going to put off the first underground nuclear shot. After about five months they realized we were about five years ahead of the scientific planning and we returned to the states. As I was operation officer for our tour I had to write a report on our operations. I was then assigned as the courier to deliver the report to Task Force Headquarters in Washington, DC Since the report was marked Top Secret, I had to be awake at all times or turn it over to a command en route, who would give a receipt. When I landed at the McCord Air Force Base they would not take my pouch. They finally called a navy base on Pier 13 in Seattle, Washington. They even sent a car for me. I spent the weekend in Chicago visiting friends after I turned over the pouch at my office I had worked in. On Monday, I arrived in Washington, DC where I got rid of the pouch permanently. Since I had written the report I couldn’t understand all the Top Secret stuff. On returning to the states I was given a special assignment for the Department of Defense on Tinian in the Mariana group of islands. After the war, the Interior Department had developed a Leper colony on Tinian and it was built by the Seabees. When we arrived, my enlisted men, 35 total, occupied the facilities used by the Seabees when they established the colony. I had handpicked these 35 men from the MCB 103. A battalion on Guam gave me logistic support, such as cooks, clerks, etc. The only qualms I had when I had to go to the Leper Colony for booster shots. Leprosy was very strange as a family lived together with the exception that children under twelve were not permitted to live with the families. Leprosy is only contagious the first 12 years, with the exception of blood-to-blood contact. From Tinian I was assigned to the Seabee base in Gulfport, Mississippi as Planning Officer. The base was just reopening after World War 2. After a short time the Officer-in-Charge of the construction equipment depot went on inactive duty and I was transferred to that billet. Our mission was to maintain in readiness all the equipment needed by the Seabees on a deployment. It entailed testing equipment arriving from the manufacturer and then keeping it in a fully operational status. This included jeeps, trucks, cranes, shovels, steel pontoons, well drilling, water purifiers, etc. On Easter Sunday 1955 we had over 8 inches of rain in 6 hours. In Mobile in the same period of time they had over 12 inches. My concern on the Base was that the water could get deep enough to enter the filling pipes for the oil. Fortunately this didn’t happen. Every month we started all engines and ran them to full operating temperatures. This dissipated all the moisture in the crankcase. The Bureau of Yards and Docks directed that we drain all crankcases and replace the regular oil with preservation oil. When I inquired why, they said that at the facility in Davisville, Rhode Island, an inspection of some of the equipment had shown rust on the bearings. I surmised they hadn’t reached operating temperature. To keep from dropping crankcases to look for rust we got some medical equipment to go down the filler pipe and we could detect any rust. 15 When my tour was up I was transferred to the 12th Naval District, Public Works Office, as the Planning and Design officer. To me they had scraped the bottom of the barrel to assign me as a design officer since my entire career had been in construction. In this billet I realized that you could handle any job if you could analyze your subordinates. Some of my department heads - I could accept any of their decisions without any qualms. On the other hand some of them I had to go behind their back to get the right answer from one of their subordinates. 16 Chapter 8 On June 30, 1957 I was released from active duty and found a position as Project Manager in the District Public Works Office in the 11th Naval district, San Diego. Two projects stand out in my mind as very interesting. Number 1 - Dredging of San Diego Harbor In the late 1950’s the Navy announced that super carriers such as the Kitty Hawk would be berthed in San Diego. These ships needed a 42’ draft and the harbor was 35’. Our office designed a new pier just inside of the harbor at Ballart Point. The ships would be berthed port side so they could get to the ocean in a short time. The city fathers saw the advantages of a 42’ depth harbor and convinced the Navy to use an existing pier at the NAS, North Island with a 600’ wide channel to a 1200’ turning basin in front of the pier. This we did. Then what to do with the dredging material. The Port Commission of San Diego said they would take it, if the Navy would build an island to their plans. This we did and now San Diego has Harbor Island. Number 2 - Observatory, Flagstaff, Arizona Normally our office was only concerned with the construction of the building and the Navy supply department bought all the equipment. For some reason or the other the entire project was awarded to our office. This meant buying the mirror, 60” in diameter, having it ground and polished, designing the telescope and all control equipment and having it built. I worked with quite a few noted scientists and astronomers. Very proud of the fact that Dr. Strand, director of the Naval Observatory in Washington, DC gave me credit in his publication concerning the Flagstaff facility. The man in charge of the Inspection Department in the Construction Division retired and I was able to get the position. I was responsible for furnishing all of the resident officers in charge of construction an inspection group to fit his needs. We also assisted all of the resident officers in seeing that all projects were built to government specifications. We also reviewed all projects being submitted by the bases to the Bureau of Yards and Docks. 17 Chapter 9 Retired from Civil Service and then the Reserve program of the military. I was able to retire on my 60th birthday in 1968. In retirement Jymme and I traveled from coast to coast, and Hawaii and New Zealand. Lost my Jymme in 1985 after 52 years of wedded bliss. In 1986 I married Wilma Harrison. I am a very fortunate man as I hit the jackpot twice!! In addition to traveling in the USA Wilma and I took an Alpine tour - Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, and Italy. In closing I can truthfully say that I had an outstanding professional career and a wonderful private life. As I look back, day-by-day I realize I had wonderful parents. My father has always been my hero and my faith is strengthened each day when I review his many accomplishments in the professional field and the political arena. To me the Academic Hall of the college is a monument to my hero, my father. The top of his gravestone is in line with the dome of the Academic Hall. My mother above all things taught me about good food. To me she was the most wonderful German cook to trod this earth. She also taught me good manners, right from wrong, and many other things to enhance my life. | Regenhardt, Edward Taft Werner (59873466)

| 1731 | EDWIN W. DRESSOR, a prominent young farmer of Bond County, and the present Supervisor of Central Township, is located on a fine farm near Greenville, and is a man of means, intelligence and education. The parents of the subject of this notice were Nathaniel and Elizabeth Dressor, who were pioneers of Bond County. The father was a native of the Pine Tree State, where he was born in 1825. The grandfather, Rufus Dressor, was a farmer by occupation. Our subject was born near Reno, Ill., December 12, 1854. His education was begun in the best schools of the county, and at the age of thirteen be became a pupil of McKendree College at Lebanon, Ill., from which, after completing the scientific course, he was graduated June 12, 1876. His studies finished, he returned to the farm, and on March 7, 1877, he was married to Miss Mary Ann Kirkland, who was born in Montgomery County, Ill. Three children were born to this household, the eldest of whom, Orla E., is deceased. The surviving children are Edith Mabel and Blanche. Mrs. Mary Ann Dressor died October 21, 1887, and November 14, 1889, Mr. Dressor married Miss Lizzie Thraner, who was born in Bond County, Ill., October 10, 1859, and one child has been born of this marriage, Nathaniel Edwin. After his first marriage, our subject located at this place, where he has twelve hundred acres of fine land, all in one body, with the latest improvements and in the highest state of cultivation. He has carried on mixed farming, and has raised a great number of all kinds of the best stock, having an enviable reputation throughout this locality for his fine cattie, horses and hogs. He has spared no exertion in order to obtain the best grades of cattle and secure the best of improvements on his farm. Not only has he embellished his own property, but he has also advocated improvements throughout the entire township. Our subject is very public-spirited, and is always the first to favor any advanced step in the county, either in an agricultural or educational way. In his political opinions, he favors the Republican party, because he believes in that party can be found the principles best suited to the government of a great country like the United States. He is very popular in the ranks of his party, and has been honored by them in his election as Supervisor for the third term. During the first year of his service, he was elected Chairman of the Board, and so well did he perform the duties of his office that this year he was honored with the same office. The Masonic order claims our subject as one of its most honored members, and he has been most active in its meetings. He also affiliates with the Modern Workmen at Greenville. He is a man of independent means, and probably has made the major portion of his property in shipping stock and grain, both of which he buys extensively and ships to the different cities, principally Chicago and Indianapolis. He is well known throughout the community, where he is highly esteemed.

| 1736 | Eleanor McNeely Letter “One of the most interesting stories of the Scottish McPherson clan was a letter written by Eleanor McNeely when she was twenty-five years old. The letter was written before she married Robert McPherson that she writes about in her letter. Eleanor had the fascinating idea of writing a letter to her great-granddaughter. The following letter gives a good description of living conditions in the early days of our country.” [i] Rowan County, North Carolina Monday, December 18, 1797 To My Great-Grand Daughter, To be born about 100 years hence. This is my 25th birthday. If I do not watch out I will be an old maid. I feel like I was ever so old, but I get to wondering about a hundred years from now. My children will all be dead, my grand children old and married, and I will probably have a great grand daughter. Everything will be so different from now. Then I thought, why not write her a letter? BROTHER ISSAC has just given me some beautiful white paper and pen and ink. So here is the letter. Everything here has changed so much since I was born. I was born in this house but it was then in the Province of North Carolina, America. I have heard my father tell how GRANDFATHER AND UNCLE ADAM came to this part of Carolina, about their killing buffalo and deer for their meat, about their buying grants of land from the Council, and how later on the Earl of Granville persuaded the King to give him the land, and how he demanded them to pay him rent, and threatened to take their homes from them, and the Governor, the hated William Tryon [ii] sent an army to make them pay rent. Father and hundreds of other Regulators surrounded General Waddell, and he didn’t make them pay it. But that was all before my day. I do not remember when Mecklinburg County declared their declaration of Independence, [iii] nor even when Congress passed their Declaration. But I do remember when General Horatio Gates was going to drive the British out of Carolina, that BROTHER ARCH volunteered in Captain Stevenson’s company. He was only seventeen, but almost as large as father. [iv] He said that father was too old and that he would go in his place. I was proud of him when he marched off with half dozen other boys from Thyatira. But he looked very different when he got back just ahead of Green’s army. He was ragged and dirty, his shoes worn out. Mother got him clean clothes and Pa swapped him his boots for the old shoes. The next day Captain Stevenson’s brigade reached our home. They were tired and hungry, and father gave them the two beeves he was fattening for our use. General Nathaniel Green’s army had just gone across the Catawba River the day before, when General Cornwallis’s army overtook them. The river rose during Sister Maggie and Mr. (name unreadable, maybe William Miller) were married last month, that leaves me the oldest of the girls at home. I have four sisters and three brothers at home, all younger than myself, so there is quite a house full. Fifteen years ago I started to school. Pa wanted me to go the year before, but mother thought she could not get along without me. I learned my letters the first day and the teacher bragged on me. But I knew them by rote before, but it was many days before I knew them in spelling. One day I slipped a slate and pencil and copied some of the letters, but the teacher saw me and made me stand on the floor an hour. I wonder if you will have to stand on the floor for making pictures on a slate. Mr. Robert McPherson was here the other day and talked to me a little while. He is an old bachelor, must be forty years old. He is from the Centre Neighborhood. They have a mill which he thinks is better than CATHY’S MILL. He says they are going to put in a saw to cut lumber. It takes so long to cut it by hand. They want to put in some floors, and he even thinks they will weatherboard their house with Poplar lumber. BROTHER ISAAC jokes me about him, says he wants to witness the marriage bond! [v] We had nearly an acre of cotton in last summer, and have enough to clothe the whole family. But it is such a job to pick the seeds out. Pa fixed a little press to squeeze the seeds out, but it bursts some of the seeds and messes up the lint. Mother says it isn’t much of a job when a dozen persons get at it. Mother and Maggie have done the weaving and I have done most of the spinning. But the family is getting small now, only ten left at home to make clothes for. ISSAC was gone to the CUMBERLAND COUNTRY all last summer, and he says the land is so much richer. He wrote me two letters while he was gone. He got me the paper, pen and ink so I could answer him. One of his letters was on very large paper, the postmaster wanted to charge me 50 cents for it, said there were two sheets, but I opened it and showed him that there was only one. We have preaching quite often at Thyatira, almost every Sunday. We had Sunday School last summer. But it was too far to go in the winter – six miles. It is only a mile to our schoolhouse. I wonder how far you will have to walk when you get big enough to go to school? One of MR. BOWMAN’S boys wants to be a preacher, he is in Mecklenburg County now at an Academy, is studying Latin and Greek. He says when he gets through there his going to Princeton, Pennsylvania. [vi] I wonder if they will let girls go to college a hundred years from now. Stranger things than that have happened. Our preacher said that the time would come when we would not be surprised when we could get our pictures made without sending for the painter. He had looked through a box and saw the person head down. It made quite a good picture. He said that in Paris, France there was a man who made pictures on a copper plate. I wonder if you will ever have your picture made? There are so many new things in the world now. The world has changed so much in the past twenty-five years, what will it be in the next hundred. I wonder if they will ever learn to write by machinery? Mother showed me her old Bible this morning, her mother bought it when she was a girl, it is the finest book I have ever seen, it was printed in Edinburgh in 1740, 1741, and 1742, as it is printed MDCCXL [1740], MDCCXLI [1741], and MDCCXLII [1742]. It has the Psalms of David in it, so that if every one had one they could sing with lining.[vii] I asked Mother to give it to me, and she said I could have it when she died. Well, there is to be a new world here on this earth some say, and we all believe that those who love Jesus go to a new world when they die, where sickness and death never come, if the Lord will, I want to live in this world fifty more years. If I do I am sure I will see many strange things in this world. I may go away to the West, even as far as the great river, [viii] possibly over it. But I do not want to go out of the United States, the country in which I now live. With best wishes I close this letter, wishing you a long and happy life, and many wonderful birthdays.

The Company will not find as clever a young man for the position soon as was young Mr. Regenhardt. PG. 3 Col. 3: Thursday, 3/10/92. Ernst regenhardt will leave for St. Louis tomorrow. The Daily Democrat will visit him regularly. _________________________________________________________________ DATE: 23 Apr 1892 NEWSPAPER: WEEKLY DEMOCRAT LOCATED: 1983 PG. 3 COL. 2 : Wm Paar, Adam Hoffman, and Mr. Dormeyer came in from Jackson this morning to attend the funeral of Ernst Regenhardt. Pg. 3 COL. 2 : Thursday, 4/23/92. The remains of Ernst Regenhardt were followed to their last resting place this forenoon by a host of grief-stricken friends. PG. 3 COL. 3 : The floral offerings at the funeral of Ernst Regenhardt were evidence that the young man had a host of friends. It required a wagon to haul the flowers to the cemetery and the remains of the noble young man now sleep beneath a wilderness of flowers. PG. 3 COL. 3 : Henry Regenhardt of St. Louis accompanied the remains of his brother from that city to the Cape yesterday (Wednesday, 4/6/92). He was at the bedside of his brother when he died. DEATH CERTIFICATE: Name: Ernst Regenhardt Age: 21 yrs., 6 months Occupation: Storekeeper Place of Death: 1427 Benton St. Date of Death: 18 APR 1892 Cause of Death: Purpura Haemorrhagica Physician: C.E. Bauer, 2104 N. 14th St. FROM: Globe Democrat, Tues, April 18, 1892, Pg. 7, Col. 3 Regenhardt - Monday 6 AM Ernst Regenhardt. Funeral from 1425 Benton Street to Union Depot, Wednesday, 6:30 AM. FROM: Daily Democrat (Cape), 23 Apr 1892 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.

| 1777 | Eualogy We are gathered here today, April 21, 2007 for the Memorial Service of Frank M. Lewis. We give thanks to God for his life. As we have talked to his family and friends and heard stories, we are going to share some of those. There seems to be a great diversity of ways that people knew him, whether through his church, his work, his family, or his friends. Just as we were standing out in the foyer here at Ford and Sons, Mr. Ford told me that he used to work as a car hop at Wimpy’s. The memories begin tostir. The appreciation for this man grows as we think about the different ways we got to know him. You take that one step further and think this is how this person affected me. Every time someone mentions that name Frank Lewis, there is a host of warm, kind memories that come along with that. I have yet to find anyone who was harmed by him. Everyone seems to have benefited by knowing him. I think that is a mark of a person who gives, and gives, and we are better for it. As we gather here today, some Scriptures to pull us together. I like this out of Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Usually we read this in a negative context when something bad has happened. We are trying to reach in to the dark abyss and pull something worthy out of it, but how about if you turn that around. You know we are grateful and thankful for the life of Frank Lewis because God has used his life for our good. Good things come out of good; it doesn’t always have to be bad. Paul continues on, “Who shall separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord? Shall tribulation, distress, or persecution, famine, peril or sword? In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present not the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all cr Let’s begin our prayer. Lord, as we come here today, we have suffered a physical, material loss in the life of Frank Lewis. As we pause in the midst of our grief and even at the age of 90, we may say he lived a good life, there is still a loss. And losses must be grieved, and even in gratitude for his life, console us in our grief. Help us too during this time to give you thanks for his life, and how your grace and mercy worked in his life. We give thanks for how his life worked through us. We are here today because he was a very special person, special to all of us in various ways. For that too we are grateful. So as we come together today to find closure on his life, both family and friends, we also return that life to you and give thanks for it. For the 90 years he was here on earth we recognize the good. For that we are deeply, deeply grateful. As the service continues, and as it concludes, and as we go back to our respective lives, to our work, to our retirement, to all these different The official record which was submitted to the Southeast Missourian which reporters consider as a news report on a person’s death so they take a lot of factual information, reports that on Thursday, April 19, 2007 Frank Miller Lewis passed away at the Missouri Veterans Home. It records that he was born in Des Arc, Missouri of Iron County on March 11, 1917 to Fred and Ethel Miller Lewis. Again it’s kind of like Joe Friday, “Just give me the facts.” He graduated from high school in Annapolis, MO in 1935.In 1942 he graduated from the U.S. Naval Great Lakes Training Center. From there the Navy sent him to Washington D.C. where he met his bride to be Irene Wesa. We’ll also get into a story about how he proposed with a 70 word telegram. I got to thinking what would it be like if I had had to propose to my wife and limit it to 70 words? They were married February 1, 1944 in Ventura, California. December 24, 1944 Frank departed California to serve on the island of Tinian in Micronesia. After He also found time to coach Little League and Church Basketball teams. Cliff Ford also shared how Frank would bring bubble gum and comic books for the bench warmers so they wouldn’t feel so bad when they didn’t get to play. Later in the game the better players, looked at the candy and comic books, and said, “Mr. Lewis, you can let them play so we can take our turn sitting on the bench?” His hobbies included square dancing, fishing, and gardening. And too as we begin to talk about his life, he was loved by young people. He was very involved and very caring in that respect. Survivors include his wife Irene Wesa Lewis, two daughters, Lynette Williamson of St. Louis, Mo, and Kathleen Fishel of Gainesville, Florida, one son, Duane Lewis of Southaven, Mississippi, four grandchildren: Bryant Williamson of St. Louis, Mo, Alayna Nordstrom of West Kilbride, Scotland, Jenny Lane and Derrick Wesa Lewis of Southaven, Mississippi. Four great-grandsons are Brett Lane, Andrew and Cooper Lewis of Southaven, Mississippi, and Eric Nordstrom of West Kilbride, Scotland. He is also survived by his sister Frieda Lewis Howard, and his brother, Freeman Lewis of Cape Girardeau. He was preceded in death by his brothers Francis Lewis, and Bill Lewis and his sister Leta Lewis Bahn. Of course Leta just passed away last month. Nephew Ben Lewis brings a little different perspective on this. Of course some of this is a duplication of the above. He notes that Frank was born on March 11, 1917 near Des Arc. He was the oldest of 6. As a very caring individual, maybe it’s because he had to care for the other 5 siblings that this developed his caring attitude. Frank and Irene had 3 children: Lynette Lewis Williamson and her husband Bob Williamson reside on their motor vessel “Legrace” where ever it may be. Kathy Lewis Fishel and her husband Fred Fishel live in Gainesville, Florida. Duane Wesa Lewis and his wife Debbie live in Southaven, Mississippi. The place where Frank was born is still rather remote. Frank’s Father Fred farmed with his brother Jerome along Big Creek in south Iron County Missouri. All that remains of the original home is the concrete stairs. Life was hard, but the family was very close. As we talk about family during the Depression, and I had two parents who grew up during the Depression, there is something of value in hard work. Of course I try to tell my kids that fact today; no they won’t believe it. Parents of Frank and Irene’s generation and my parent’s generation, knew there was something galvanizing about family when it came to hard work. Particularly everyone is farming in those days or had a large garden as that was the only way they could get food. This is one ofthe aspects that made Frank such a special person. Life was hard; but the family was very close. In time Fred and Ethel would move to their own farm, and would have Frank, Francis, Frieda, Freeman, Leta, and Bill. They would eke out a living They milked 15 to 20 cows twice a day. They kept the milk in the spring house in a gallon crock or bucket which is placed in 6 inches of running spring water. After separation the cream was sent to St. Louis by train and sold. They sold cream once or twice a week and that is how the Lewis family got cash. Fred, Frank’s father, and Fred’s brother, Jerome, shared a bull. Frank said, they had a good life farming in the 1920’s. Each year his mother would can up to 80 to 90 quarts of peaches, blackberries, apples, and green beans from the orchard and garden. They also grew potatoes, wheat, and corn. They took the wheat and corn to the mill to be ground into flour. The mill kept a portion as payment. Frank graduated from South Iron High School in 1935 during the Depression. He sold a 2 year old white-faced calf he had raised for about $15.00 and bought a new suit to wear to graduation. They had a Baccalaureate service and a banquet at the Presbyterian Church in Annapolis and graduation servi The family moved to Cape Girardeau shortly before World War II. They acquired a large house across the street from the present Southeast Missouri University Student Center on Henderson. They set up a boarding house. This was also home to the Lewis clanwhenever relatives were in town on a given day. Before joining the service, Frank’s brother Freeman started a hamburger stand on North Kingshighway and named it Wimpy’s. Fred and Ethel would operate this business while their sons were away at war. When Freeman and Frank returned from Guam and Tinian, Wimpy’s began a thirty year run as the premier hamburger joint, local teen hangout, and convenience store. Cape Girardeau had very few of these enterprises. Everyone who lived and visited Cape Girardeau in the 1950’s and 1960’s knew Wimpy’s. When Frank entered the Veterans Home in 2006, he was hailed as “Mr. Wimpy.” He considered that an honor and I would too. I always knew Frank as a hard working, smiling, modest Uncle. Irene appea The Lewis men were always known for their dry wit. Frank told me about a time when he was in the basement with his Father Fred looking for a bowling ball and chain, part of the family’s pre-wedding ritual. He apparently got worked up in hi search when his Dad said, “Well have you checked your pockets?” Frank did check all his pockets until he heard his Dad laughing. Frank loved hard work. As I read these remembrances, is there anyone who would begin to question that comment? Frank enjoyed cutting wood for firewood. For many years he heated his home with firewood. My favorite experience with Frank was working in Leta’s woods one winter day. Ben says, “It was 10 degrees and the ground was covered with snow. Frank was telling me about the old man across the road who could split wood as fast as Leta’s husband could cut it with a chain saw. That old man was 70 years old. Frank, how old are you?” “I am 75 years old.” Lynette also shared how he traveled to Hawaii with Youth With A Mission and to England for Wycliffe Bible Translators. At age 82 he traveled to Prague, Czech Republic. If you try to pull this whole thing together, you say, “What an amazingly blessed life!” Not only are we the recipients of his amazingly blessed life, but it genders in me a tremendous sense of gratitude that God had blessed him such for his commitment to family, church, and community. Lynette says he was a very positive and optimistic person with a special love for people, especially young people. That’s a legacy that lives on. It engenders a great sense of gratitude. When I think of some of the Scriptures. I like what Paul wrote to the apostle Timothy in II Timothy 1: 3-7 “I thank God whom I serve with a pure conscience as my forefathers did without ceasing. I remember you in my prayers night and day greatly desiring to see you, mindful of your tears that I might be filled with joy. When I call to remembrance the gen I count it a privilege to fill in along with my wife as Pastor at Westminster. While preaching there, we know some of the history, but we don’t know all the players. Today as we gather today to give thanks for the life of Frank Lewis, it gives me a deeper appreciation when I sit in that pastor’s office to think of all those as Paul says the saints who came before us, filled with the sense of power that God has given to us, the hope of his calling, then I think too, “Who will be the generations to come and look back and give thank to us for what we have done?” I think Frank has given us a wonderful picture of what it means to give in his commitment to community, his church, and his family. | Wesa, Helen Irene (50761439)

| 1787 | FAMILY OF JOHN W. MILLER When John arrived in Madison County is uncertain. One story says the Miller boys came down the river by boat. Those boys were Jacob, George, and John and as they were born in Virginia a guess is they came down the Ohio River. One of George's sons used the surname Wertmiller and one John's daughters also used Wertmiller when she married John’s grandson James L. George, born 8 April 1885/6 died 13 February 1984, said the Millers always claimed they came from Holland. Using these clues, research indicates this family descended from Joris Wertmuller who came to this country in 1682 and settled in the Georgetown area of Pennsylvania. A George Wertmuller is mentioned as being injured during a storm at sea on the same boat that Joris came on, but nothing else is known about George. These Wertmullers were Swiss, but due to religious persecution migrated to Holland which was more tolerant of various religions. The Wertmullers were Anabaptist. This information is from the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Another source of information may be the Mennonite Library and Archives of Eastern Pennsylvania at Lansdale, Pennsylvania. Information shows Joris left sons, a brother, a sister, and a brother-in-law, Benedict Kunts in Amsterdam. The Wertmillers appear later in Virginia in the counties of Hampshire, Pendleton, Rockingham and Shenandoah. Some of these counties are now in West Virginia. The predominate names were: John and George, with one Yorie or Yoris found there. The last record found there is in 1811 when a John Wertmuller and wife Margaret sold their land in Pendleton County The 1810 Census shows this John was over 45 years old, indicating he was born in 1765 or earlier. Probate records in Madison Comity on the estate of Isham Harrison shows the first wife of John W. Miller was Sarah Harrison, daughter of Isham and Amey Harrison. Sarah had preceded her father in death. The children of John and Sarah, all born in Madison County were: George H., born 1823/4, married Louisa J Hemby. Amey married Mathew McDade. Elizay married (1st) Charles Clevelon and (2nd) a Huffman. Elizabeth married Washington Eaton. In 1851, Washington was granted 160 acres on Marble Creek in Madison County for his service in Capt McNair's Company in the 3rd Regiment of the Missouri Volunteers. Sarah married a Jordan. John J., born 1830, married Rebecca Rachel Sutton. Nancy M. C., she is believed to have died very young. John W Miller married (second) Margaret Matthews, daughter of John and Mary Polly (Clay) Matthews. The minutes of the Board of Land Commissioners indicate John Matthews received permission to settle here in 1802 from the local Commandant, P. Deluziere. These minutes also say t John Miller served two terms, 1832 and 1834, in the Missouri Senate from District No. 2, which consisted of Madison, Wayne and Ripley Counties. John Miller's (second wife) Margaret Clay Matthews was the daughter of Jeremiah and Francie Johnston Clay. Jeremiah first appears in Missouri records in 1799. The children of John W. Miller and second wife Margaret were: William B., born 1837, died 1864; Martha D., married Lewis Williams, lived in Tennessee and Florida where she died 12 March 1923; James Monroe, born 1841; Julia Ann, married William C. Thomas;Sophia E., married Samuel S. Andrews, Jr. They spent their lives in the Fredericktown area; Helen M., born 21 March 1848, died 7 March 1930, married James A. D. George; Laura E., born 1849, died March 1885 in Gibson County, Tennessee, married James W. Porter; Charles T., born 6 September 1850, died February 1914, married Minnie A. Decker; Margaret T., born 9 February 1853, died 31 October 1885, buried in Hays Cemetery at Brunot, Wayne County, Missouri, married George W. Smith; Thomas B., born 1855, never married; Malissa, born 1857, married Louis H. Johnson, they lived in the St. Louis, Missouri area. I guess you could say, John W. Miller had a large family. John W. Miller was appointed justice of the Peace in Madison County by the Governor in August 1828 and is believed to have served in that capacity in Liberty Township until that area became Iron County in 1857. His farm was on Marble Creek in section 3, Township 32 North, Range 32 East. His house was on the west side of the road just north of the hill still known by many as Miller Hill on Highway E. Tradition says the polling place in Liberty Township in Iron County’s first election was one of John’s stables. John was elected County Judge in that election. He only served one term. John died 29 October 1882. He was believed to have been 89 years old. The newspaper said Judge Miller died of old age. John and his wife were buried on their farm.
