EMORY WAGERMAN IS DEAD
Freight Conductor on Pittsburgh Division Expires Suddenly at His Home

  Emory G. Wagerman of 1917 Thirteenth avenue, a Pittsburgh division 
Pennsy freight conductor, died suddenly at his home Saturday evening at 
6.15 o'clock of paralysis of the heart.  He had been ill for several 
months but was able to be about his home Saturday.  He had started 
downstairs from the second floor shortly after 6 o'clock when he fell 
on reaching the first landing.  His wife, who had been out for some 
medicine, upon returning heard a faint moan and found her husband in a 
semi-conscious condition.  Dr. H. C. Miller was called but nothing 
could be done for the stricken man.
  Emory G. Wagerman was the son of Samuel and Mary Wagerman of 
Emmittsburg, Md., where he was born March 8, 1868.  He was reared in 
his native town and at the age of 22, came to this city and entered the 
Pennsy service.  He served as a brakeman on the Pittsburgh division for 
a number of years and later was promoted to conductor.  He figured in 
several wrecks and was injured eleven years ago at South Fork.
  On Oct, 6, 1896, he was united in marriage to Miss Frances H. Kane of 
this city, who survives with two daughters, Misses Leota M. and Mildred 
C., both at home.  His parents also survive with these brothers and 
sisters: Mrs. Ada Topper, John H., Roy and Charles Wagerman, all of 
Emmittsburg; Harry of Highfield, Md., and Joseph of Winnemac, Ind.  His 
mother was a guest at his late home when he died.
  He was a member of Christ Reformed church, United lodge No. 174, 
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and the P.R.R. relief association.  He 
was popular among a large circle of friends and was widely known among 
railroad men.  Funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon with 
short services at his late residence at 2.15 o'clock.  At 2.30 the 
cortege will proceed to Christ Reformed church where public services 
will be held at 3 o'clock.  Interment in Rose Hill cemetery.
