Surnames: REGENNAS, Sturgis, Albright, Reed, Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lh.2ADE/2147 Message Board Post: This book has no cover, and no index, and no author. I bought it on Ebay; it just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore about these families or these surnames. NOTE: I don’t know if there is any additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want to sell this book. I am typing the biographies from it. Typed by Lora Radiches: Surnames in this biography are: REGENNAS, Sturgis, Albright, Reed, EUGENE G. REGENNAS, D. D. S., M. D., is one of the oldest and most honored practicing physicians and surgeons of Bartho1omew County, where he has maintained his home in the little City of Hope during a period of more than half a century, he having here been engaged in the practice of dentistry during the first decade of that period and having then completed a course that fortified him for the practice of medicine, to which he has here given his earnest and effective attention somewhat more than forty years. Doctor Regennas was born at Emmaus, Pennsylvania, May 14, 1853, and is a son of Rev. John J. and Cornelia (Clewell) Regennas, his father having been a clergyman of the Moravian Church. As a youth Doctor Regennas received the scholastic advantages of Nazareth Hall, at Nazareth, Pennsylvania, and thereafter he completed a course in the dental department of Philadelphia Medical College, in which he was graduated as a member of the class of 1876. After thus receiving! his degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery he came to Hope, Indiana, where he continued in the practice of dentistry until he had completed a course and been graduated in the Central College of Medicine, from which he received his degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1886. During the long intervening year he has made Hope the central stage of hi faithful and able ministrations as physician and surgeon, and no citizen of this community has more secure place in popular confidence and esteem than this now venerable and revered physician, for his has been a life of veritable consecration to the alleviation of human suffering and distress. Abiding sympathy and unselfishness have marked his loyal and zealous labors, and he has long been friend and counselor as well as physician to many of the representative families of this part of Bartholomew County. The Doctor has membership in the Bartholomew County Medical Society, the Indiana State Medical Society and the American Medical ! Association. In the World war period he served as examining physician for the draft board of his home county, besides being active and influential in other local patriotic services. He has contributed many valuable articles to the periodical literature of his profession and in the passing years has kept in close touch with advances made in medical and surgical science. Doctor Regennas gives his political allegiance to the Republican Party and while he has had no desire for public office of any kind he gave evidence of his communal loyalty by his effective service as secretary of the Hope Board of Education. He is affiliated with the Masonic fraternity, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Knights of Pythias, the Improved Order of Red Men and the Modern Woodmen of America. In Pennsylvania was solemnized the marriage of Doctor Regennas to Miss Ella Sturgis and of the children of this union the one surviving is Gertrude Lacey. The death of Mrs. Regennas occurred at Hope, ! as did also that of the Doctor’s second wife, whose maiden name was Ella Albright. For his third wife Doctor Regennas married Mary A. Reed, and of this union three children have been born: Clara is deceased; Mary is next in order of birth; and John has been graduated in law and is engaged in the practice of his profession.
