WILLIAM WAGNER
Yesterday morning at 6 o'clock the lamp of life that has been burning steadily and brightly in the heart of William Wagner for the past ninety years was snuffed out, the end coming quietly and without a struggle. Old age and a weakened constitution were responsible for the old gentleman's death, and while he was taken without a single death struggle, he knew that his race was run and he was ready to follow the Reaper into the great beyond. The deceased was at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Bassett, at the time of his death, and besides Mrs. Bassett there are relatives in Seattle who will arrive Thursday when funeral arrangements will be made.
Lead Daily Call, Tuesday, April 28, 1914, page 8:
William Wagner, the old gentleman who passed away Sunday morning, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. M.E. Badgett, of this city, where he had received all of the care and attention that loving hands could give. It is expected that the funeral arrangements will be announced tomorrow.
Lead Daily Call, Thursday, April 30, 1914:
The funeral of William Wagner will be held on Saturday afternoon from the Baptist church. The funeral was to have been held tomorrow, but owing to the impossibility of relatives who are coming to attend the funeral to reach here by tomorrow, the postponement is made.

LAID AT REST
The funeral of the late William Wagner was held this afternoon from the Baptist church. Rev. George H. Starring conducted the funeral services at the church on Main street, and preached the eulogy. The friends of the deceased turned out in numbers to pay their last respects to the aged old gentleman, who was always kind and gentle and uncomplaining until death, when he folded his arms and closed his eyes in sleep, content and willing to go. Interment was made in South Lead cemetery and there were a number of carriages that wended their way to the cemetery in the funeral procession, and at the grave with bowed heads, the remains of the old gentleman were laid to rest.
