Died A Hero
Jackson Sentinel, April 11, 1919

Nick Regenwether-

Died A Hero

We had a visit Friday from Joe Regenwether, one of the pleasant young farmers 
of the Spragueville neighborhood. He showed us a letter that he had just 
received from Mr. A. A. Waltz of Princeton, Illinois, in which he has lately 
received from his son, Gosse, in France, who stated that he talked to Nick 
Regenwether before the latter was killed. He says Nick told him that he was 
due to go over the top the next day and that he did not expect to come back 
alive, as though he had a premonition of what would happen to him. His son, 
Gosse, was not in the same company with Nick, but was not so far away from 
where he was killed. Gosse learned that Nick was hit in the head by a machine 
gun bullet as he was going over the top. He says he knows within a few yards 
the spot where the brave boy is buried. All information goes to prove that no 
man died a braver death than Nick Regenwether, and his memory will live long 
in the minds of his many friends.-Preston Times
