 Biographical Sketch of Nicholas Van Sant from History of Whiteside County (Click Image to Enlarge) |
Once my father and I were watching a Memorial Day parade. We were standing on what today would be the corner of 4th and Locust. Dad pointed out a very old man riding in the back of an open "convertible." Dad said, "That's Nick Van Sant, the last Civil War veteran in Sterling." It must have impressed me because I remember it after all these years. (recollection by Janna Hey Dean) |
