JOHN SACHSE

Death in Centerville on Sunday, following a long illness, of John Sachse as the
result of a stroke he suffered several months ago. Mr. Sachse, who was 72, came
with his parents from Germany in 1852. The family settled in Centerville and the
deceased remained there. He operated a shoe shop by himself and was Postmaster for
several years as well as filling other elective posts. In the latter stages of the
Civil War he served with Co. B of the 45th Infantry Regiment and participated in 
the battle of Nashville where his regiment did not come under fire but was held in 
reserve. He is survived by a widow and 7 children. The local post of the G.A.R., 
of which he was a member, yesterday gave the last salute to its veteran.
Der Nord Westen, 29 Mar. 1906
********
Again has the Angel of Death appeared in our midst and taken home the
soul of an early pioneer and veteran of the civil war. Mr. John Sachse,
who for a number of years had been a resident of our town, died Sunday
morning at eleven o'clock. He was born in Germany in 1834 and came, with
his parents, to this country while still in his infancy. When the war
broke out, he was one of those who offered their lives for their
country. About 1857 he was married to Miss Rossberg, who, with four
daughters, Mrs. Schmalfeld, Mrs. Gust Keune, Mrs. A. Pohland and Miss
Bertha Sachse, and three sons, Will, Frank and Edward, survives to mourn
his loss. A sister, Mrs. Damler of Manitowoc, and Mr. Fred Sachse of
this town also survive. After his return from the war he settled at
Hika, where, for a number of years, he conducted a general store and
served as post master. It may be said of him, where he set his hand, he
set his heart to do the thing he willed, and bore it through. The
funeral was held Wednesday afternoon and was attended by a large number
of friends, who gathered to pay their last respects to an old-time and
honored friend, who was always ready to lend a helping hand.

**********
The following story is from "Wisconsin Lore" by Robert E. Gard & L.G. 
Sorden 1962, p 36-37
Related by Mrs. J. G. Slater of Cleveland, Wisconsin:
This authentic tale happened when I was about twelve years old and lived 
on a farm near Cleveland.
One night my father entertained a group of friends and business associates.
It was a pleasant evening with serious talk first and laughter and jokes 
over a glass of cider later. When it was time for the guests to depart, my 
father went outside to tell the hired man to harness up the horses and 
bring the conveyance to the door. When he returned we were all surprised to
see him being led in by the hired man. He looked queer and had beads of 
perspiration on his forehead. As soon as he wiped them off, more appeared.  
Mother rushed forward, deeply concerned.  One of the men exclaimed, "Did 
you see a ghost, Hencel?" They started to laugh but could sense that their 
friend was extremely upset. Presently my father settled back down and 
described his experience:
On his way to the stable he had been halted suddenly by observing in the 
gray shadows of night the figures of men in somber garments,passing through
a side gate, followed by a coffin borne by pallbearers. Strangest and most 
shattering was his realization that the faces of all the pallbearers were 
those of the men sitting, at that moment, in his house, with one exception,
for he could not see the face of his best friend-a miller and dealer in 
grains-among the figures in the ghostly apparition. He himself was one of 
the pall-bearers also.  After the vision faded away, he could only stand 
horror-stricken in his tracks. He feared his legs would not support him if 
he attempted to walk, for there is something in the supernatural that 
strikes terror even into the bravest heart.
Fortunately the hired man came out of the stable with a friendly lantern
and, noticing something was amiss, helped my father back into the house.
His friends were openly skeptical of his story and hinted slyly that he 
must have drunk more cider before he went outside. However, their carriages
were at the door, putting an end to further talk on the subject. After 
cheerful good nights they went home.
At ten o'clock the following morning one of the previous night's guests 
arrived on a bicycle, deep concern stamped on his features. He came to 
report that the miller had died of a heart attack while sitting at his 
kitchen table, where his wife discovered him when she went down to start
breakfast. His had been the only face my father had not seen in the 
shocking vision at the farm gate. 
The surmise was that in the phantom funeral the miller was the dead man, 
for at his funeral a few days later everything else was just as my father 
had seen it in his out-of-the-ordinary vision.
