MARA AGNES WAGNER

Maria Agnes Wagner, nee Meier, was born July 12, 1845 at Tunsligen, near 
Tuebingin, Kingdom of Wurtemburg, Germany. She was baptized in infancy and at 
the proper age confirmed. 

In the year 1869 she emigrated to the United States and came directly to 
Ohio. In 1870 she united in marriage to Martin Wagner. God blessed this union 
with seven children, of whom six are living yet; their names are George and 
Willie Wagner, Barbara Haeusaier, Margretha Dykau, Mathilde Knecht and Maria 
Thrapp.

Although Edon was the home of the Wagner family, they moved in later years to 
Bryan. In the year 1912, Mr. Wagner preceded his wife in death. Since then, 
Mrs. Wagner lived with her children and most of the time with her daughter, 
Mary Thrapp.

Since the first part of March Mrs. Wagner has been on the sick list, and the 
last four weeks she was completely confined to her bed. September 19, shortly 
before six o’clock in the morning, she was taken away by a peaceful death 
from this world, attaining an age of 71 years, two months and seven days. She 
leaves to mourn her six children, four sons-in-law, two daughters-in-law, 15 
grandchildren, and many friends.

The funeral services were held on September 21, in the Germany Lutheran 
Church of Edon, O., and the remains laid to rest in the Edon cemetery. Revs. 
F. Heckelmann and A. Hueter officiating. May she rest in peace.


Gone But Not Forgotten

A precious one from us has gone; 

A voice we loved is stilled;

A place is vacant in our home, 

Which never can be filled.

God in his wisdom has recalled

The boon his love has given

And though the body slumbers here

The soul is safe in heaven.

their consoling words. " The Children.
