Warren A. Wagar, Supervisor of Sylvan Township and farmer on section 28, was 
born Aug. 17, 1840, in Yates Co., N.Y.  

Charles Wagar, his father, was a native of the same State and followed the 
pursuit of agriculture in Yates County until 

his death, which occurred in 1841, within the first year of the life of his 
son.  His mother, Sophronia (Wier) Wagar, is 

a native of New york, and is now a resident of Wayne County in this State, and 
is aged 67 years.  After the death of Mr. 

Wagar she again married.

Warren was a member of his mother's family until he was 13 years of age, when 
he found a home with a young man named 

Gage.  Between three and four years later, he became an inmate of the 
household of Morgan Gage, father of his former 

patron, with whom he remained until he was 22 years of age, attending school 
and obtaining a knowledge of the builder's 

trade.

He was married Aug. 27, 1862, in Yates County, to Mary A. Green.  She was born 
in that county and died there in June, 

1864, leaving one child, Charles, who was born Oct. 9, 1863.  The wife and 
mother when dying urged his speedy union with 

a friend to whose care she wished to entrust her infant child, and in 
accordance Mr. Wagar was married Feb. 16, 1865, to 

Jennie M. Van Liper.  she was born Nov. 9, 1845, in the State of New York, and 
is the daughter of Jeremiah Van Liper.  

One child constitutes the issue of this marriage, Elnora, born Spet. 23, 1866.

After his marriage Mr. Wagar was occupied at his trade, which he pursued with 
success until 1877 in his native state.  

In that year he concluded to seek a home in Michigan, which he did and made 
his location on the place he now resides, 

April 27, 1877.  He at first purchased 120 acres of land, to which he added 
five acres soon after.  Later he sold 40 

acres, and has about 20 acres of the remaining 85 acres under the plow.  He is 
the owner of a half interest in 80 acres 

of pine land on section 24.  Politically he is a Democrat and has been Justice 
of the Peace two years; is the present 

incumbent.
