OBITUARY
On Sunday, October 1, 1922, the spirit of A.J. Wagner passed from his feeble frame into eternity. Mr. Wagner had been an invalid for several years and for some time had been entirely helpless, and had been cared for in his home since the death of Mrs. Wagner. He was one of the pioneers of Saunders county and was of a strong, sturdy stock that furnished the men who successfully stood the hardships of early pioneer days. He saw Saunders county develop, from droughts, grasshopper plagues and other misfortunes into one of the finest counties in the west. He was a liberal giver to all good works and helped advance the community spirit both religiously and socially. He gave a great deal of assistance to the historic Plainview church when it was built, and having been a Christian from early manhood was always regular in his attendance at church services until his health failed and it was impossible for him to attend. "Uncle Andy" as he has been known, will be greatly missed. His patience in suffering was a remarkable instance and his life was a good example. May he rest in peace.
A.J. Wagner was born in Hancock county, Ohio, June 26, 1836. He was married to Louisa Davis at Aledo, Ill., Dec. 25, a1860. Eleven children were born to them, nine of whom are living. Mrs. A. L. Armstrong, Ogalalla; Mrs. William Meyer, Hay Springs; Mrs. Lewis Linebaugh, Wann; Mrs. M. L. Hart, Haxtun, Colo.; Mrs. Charles Carlstrom, Malmo; John of Laird, Colo., and Grant, Wallace and A.J., Jr., all of Memphis. There are fifty-five grand-children and fourty-five great grandchildren, also one brother, David Wagner, of Ashland.
Mr. Wagner and wife came to Nebraska in 1879, locating on the farm four and a half miles north of Memphis, where they lived until death.
The funeral services were held at the Plainview church. Tuesday, October 3, by Rev. E.M. Johnson, of the First Christian church, of Fremont. Burial was in the Ashland Cemetery.
