J.H. Wagner, a very well-known resident of the Culbertson community for more than half a century, passed away shortly after midnight Monday at St. Catherine's hospital in McCook.
Stricken with a ruptured appendix, he was taken to the hospital last Thursday, and an operation was performed that afternoon. He withstood the operation well, and his condition appeared favorable until toward the end of last week, when his strength began to fail steadily.
Funeral services are to be held Friday afternoon. They will be conducted by Rev. F.E. Schroeder at the John Deines home north of Culbertson at 1 o'clock and in Zion Evangelical church at 2 o'clock. Burial will be in the Culbertson cemetery.
During services at the John Deines home, there will be songs by Mr. and Mrs. Sam Steinke. A mixed quartet, composed of Mrs. A.M. Smith, Mrs. George Hein, Sol Wagner, and Alex Eisenach with Mrs. Mabel Gerlach as accompanist, will sing at the church. The pallbearers are to be Henry C. Sitzman, Henry Sitzman Jr., Dan Wagner, Albert Wagner, John Bauer, and George Hock.
Joseph Henry Wagner, son of Dave and Katherina Hock Wagner, was born at Frank, Russia on May 19, 1874 and died in St. Catherine's hospital, McCook, Nebraska on July 27, 1943 at the age of 69 years, two months, and eight days.
When a child, he was baptized in the Reformed Lutheran church and in early boyhood he attended public schools in the city of Frank, Russia. When he was about 12 years of age, he came to America with his parents, who arrived in Culbertson on May 1, 1886. They located on a farm six miles north of town.
Henry Wagner, as he was best known to the people of this community, was united in marriage with Anna Kehler of Hastings, Nebraska on March 17, 1896. Six children, five sons and one daughter, were born to this union. One son, Dr. Carl P. Wagner, predeceased his father, he having passed away at Portland, Connecticut on August 9, 1942 at the age of 44 years.
At the time of his marriage Henry Wagner was employed as a section hand on the Burlington railroad, being advanced to the position of foreman that same year. From 1898 to 1901, he was engaged at farming north of Culbertson, but during the following seven years he was again employed at railroad work, which took him to various parts of Montana and Wyoming. In 1908 he came back to Culbertson and bought a farm northeast of town. About three years ago, he retired from the more active work of farming and has since lived with his wife on a place one and one-half miles northeast of Culbertson.
Upon first coming to Culbertson, he attended the German Methodist church, becoming a member of that communion. In 1906 he transferred to the Evangelical church congregation, of which he remained a member until the time of his death.
Henry Wagner was a man who made and kept many sincere friends. He was known as a congenial, helpful neighbor and a good father, and he was especially devoted to his wife, who has been an invalid for some time. He was sincere in his Christian life and in his faith in God.
Besides the widow, he is survived by four sons, Frank D. of Culbertson; Matthew C. of Bristol, Connecticut; Walter G. of Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin; and Robert L. of Hartington, Nebraska; one daughter, Mrs. John Deines of Culbertson; two brothers, J.G. Wagner of Andarga, Oklahoma; and C.A. Wagner of Culbertson; two sisters, Mrs. L.H. Herrenbruch of Billings, Montana; and Mrs. William Hoelck of Santa Anna, California; and 16 grandchildren.
