Oroville Daily Register, Tuesday Morning, February 6, 1906, pg 1 col 5: Death of Lewis Wagner of Hart’s Mills. Lewis Wagner, who died yesterday morning at his home at Hart’s Mills, was a pioneer of this State. He was born in Ohio, but came to California in an early day, and made his home in Plumas and Butte Counties for more than fifty years. For a long time – twenty or more years – he was in partnership with his brother, Wm. Wagner, at Buck’s Ranch, in Plumas County. We are under the impression that he conducted a hotel for a number of years in Plumas. He ran a pack-train in that county and was engaged in the stock business in both Butte and Plumas for a long period.

He was the owner of a ranch near the foot of Table Mountain, close to the home of Robert Campbell, for a number of years, and then for a long time owned and conducted Miners’ Ranch, on the road to Bidwell Bar. Here he kept a hotel, owned stock and ran a feed corral. After selling that property he moved to Hart’s Mills, where he lived for eight years prior of his death. He crossed the plains in the summer of 1849.

He was twice married, and his second wife, who was a Miss Stewart, of Sutter County, survives him. We are under the impression that no children were born from either marriage.

It is only a short time ago that he and his wife celebrated their silver wedding anniversary.

Mr. Wagner was born in Knox County, Ohio, and was one of twelve children. His father was a soldier under Napoleon, and came to the United States in 1810. The father, in order to pay his way to America, sold his time to a Pennsylvania Quaker and worked for a number of years to pay back the sum he owed. In 1821 he moved to Ohio. Deceased was born April 26, 1824, and was the last surviving member of the family of twelve children.

The deceased had a very large circle of friends in both Butte and Plumas, where he had lived so long. He was a kind and faithful husband, an honorable, upright citizen, well respected by all who knew him.

The remains will be shipped to Oakland today for cremation.
