From Der Nord Westen, 29 Mar. 1906:
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.
