Born on the family farm in Section 22 of Peru Township. Married Henry Wagner on September 24, 1913, at Ss. Peter and Paul Church, Sherrill. Farmed with her husband on Section 22 prior to their retirement to Dubuque.

Obituary: Telegraph Herald (Dubuque, Iowa), Aug. 5, 1975, p. 15.

Note: The 1900 U.S. Census shows her name as "Maria Magdalena." This follows a German naming convention in which daughters were given the first name Maria and distinguished from one another by their middle names. "Magdalena" was often shortened to "Lena."
