**********************************************************************

Egid Wagner was born in Bavaria, September 5, 1843. In 1859 he moved
to the United States, and settled in St. Joseph, Missouri. Poor in
purse, but rich in that indomitable spirit of enterprise and persever-
ance which always commands success, he started a bakery, and by strict
attention to business soon built up the lucrative trade he still con-
tinues to enjoy. By industry, economy, and judicious management, he
has acquired valuable property in the city, and now owns the substan-
tial block in which the Atlantic Hotel, which he formerly kept, and
his bakery are located. A self-made man, he has succeeded, without
effort, in impressing his fellow citizens with a sense of his personal
judgement and ability in business affairs, and was elected by a large
majority to the office of Councilman from he Fourth Ward. In May,
1866, he married Miss Theresa Von Arx, of St. Joseph. They have seven
children living: August, Josephine, Mary, Flora, Emma, Agens and Rosa.
