Notes
Death
WAGNER
Martin Wagner was born January 17, 1844, at Tusslingere, Wertenberg, Germany. There he had been baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith, also later he learned the trade of masonry. In 1869 he emigrated to the United States and came right from New York to Edgerton, Ohio, working on his trade. The year following he united in marriage with Marie Agnes Meier. Both moved then to Edon, then to Melbern and back to Edon again, living there all the time until 1½ years ago they came to Bryan where Brother Wagner lived.
God blessed this union with seven children of whom one little boy died in infancy. Mr. Wagner enjoyed good health until about two years ago when he took sick and since then he was suffering more or less all the time, but especially hard the last five weeks preceeding his death last Wednesday, November 19. He was redeemed by a peaceful death of all earthly afflictions at an age of 69 years, 10 months and 2 days. He leaves to mourn, his companion, six children, four sons-in law, two daughters-in- law, 15 grand children and many friends. The deceased has been a faithful member of the Lutheran church all his life time.
The funeral services were held in the German Lutheran church at Edon, Saturday, November 22, at 10 a. m., and the remains laid to rest on the cemetery there. The Revs. Henkelmann and A. Heuter officiated.
