Regnery Final
Rites In Chicago
The funeral of William H. Reg
nery, 76, board chairman of Joanna
Western Mills Co., Chicago, of
which Joanna mills is an affiliate,
was held Tuesday in Hinsdale,
III. He died at 4:30 last Saturday
afternoon at the Hinsdale hospital.
Born on a farm in Wisconsin
Oct. 12, 1877, Mr. Regnery and his
family later moved to Iowa. At the
age of 13 he went to Kansas City,
where he clerked in a store. After
several years he became associ
ated with William Volker and was
sent to Chicago to look after the
Volker interests in the Western
Shade Cloth Co. Mr. Regnery later
became president of Western
Shade Cloth Co.
In order to control the quality
of cloth for shades, Mr. Regnery
and Mr. Volker in 1927 invested
heavily in Joanna (S.C.) Cotton
Mill properties, later buing all
outstanding stock. Immediately an
expansion and modernization pro
gram was launched which saw the
Joanna plant grow from 30,000 to
103,176 spindles.
That the welfare and content
ment of the employees were upper
most in Mr. Regnery’s mind is evi
denced by his many contributions
to their betterment. A practitioner
of the Golden Rule, Mr. Regnery
was the first textile executive of
the area to share his company’s
profits with his workers and to
give vacations with pay, these pro
grams having been in effect at
Joanna for more than 15 years.
Mr. Regnery was generous in
contributions to Joanna churches,
giving liberally to the building and
expansion programs of each.
The Joanna Foundation is anoth
er testimonial to Mr. Regnery’s
generosity, as the funds for all its
activities come from the former
company store which was given to
the Foundation so its profits might
support a wide variety of activities,
such as recreational and educa
tional programs and the Joanna
Memorial Hospital.
As an example of how Joanna
employees loved and revered Mr.
Regnery, he received from them in
1952 a handsome silver service ap
propriately engraved on the ap
proach of his 75th birthday.
In his absence while on a trip to
Europe in 1930, Mr. Regnery was
elected town president, or mayor,
of Hinsdale, 111.
He is survived by his widow, the
former Miss Frances Susan Thra
sher; four sons, William F., Fred
L., and Henry Regnery all of
Chicago, and connected with the
Chicago plant, and Walter Reg
nery of Joanna, vice-president of
Joanna Western Mills Co., and ex
ecutive officer of the Joanna, S.
C. plant; one daughter, Mrs. David
C. M. Meyers of Chicago* and
several grandchildren. , ,
Today is what we were all look
ing forward to yesterday.
The Rev. John R. Williams,
former Presbyterian pastor of
Montreal, N. C., and now engaged
in full time evangelistic work,
will conduct a series of services
beginning next Sunday at Aveleigh
Presbyterian church. The services
will lie held each evening at 7:30
o’clock through January 31.
Rev. Williams will not come to
Newberry as a stranger. He ron-
1m ted a very successful revival
here about 15 years ago during the
pastorate of the Rev. C. A. Cal-
eote, and made a host of friends
here. At the time of his last visit
and up until about eight months
ago, Mr. Williams served ,as
church pastor in addition to his
evangelistic engage-merits. How
ever, demand on his time made it
necessary to give up work with his
congregation at Montreal, for full-'
time evangelism.
For the past week, cottage pray
er meetings have been held in
Aveleigh members home in prepa
ration for the meeting next week.
Rev. Neil E. Tmesdale, pastor
