WAGNER.

  Mrs. Lucy M. Wagner and her daughter, Alice Jane Wagner, both of 1540 
Pleasant Valley avenue, died yesterday within four hours, death in both 
cases being caused by pneumonia.  The mother, wife of Alfred B. Wagner, 
died yesterday morning at 8.20 o'clock and the daughter died shortly 
after noon.
  Mrs. Wagner was born March 4, 1878.  Surviving are her husband and 
nine children: David E., William T., Charles O., John C., James A., 
Earl F., Alfred B., Maud and Mrs. Mary Kauffman and four grandchildren.  
She was a faithful member of the First United Evangelical church since 
1905, and a devoted mother.  The daughter was born Dec. 4, 1901.  She 
too was a member of the First United Evangelical church, and was a 
devoted Christian.  Both mother and daughter had been ill for about ten 
days.  Up until a few days ago both were confined to the same room.  
The daughter never learned that her mother was dead.  Not more than a 
week ago six members of the family were confined to their beds by 
illness, the deceased mother and daughter and another child having 
pneumonia, and three others bordering on the disease.  The four others, 
however, have about recovered.  Whether the pneumonia had its origin in 
Spanish flu has not been definitely established.  There were twelve 
children in the family, two having died some time ago.  A double 
funeral will be held for the mother and daughter, the services to be 
held Saturday afternoon at 2.30 at the home.  Interment will be made at 
Oak Ridge.
