Death of Mrs. Maggie A. Wagner.

  Mrs. Maggie A. Wagner, wife of A. G. Wagner, of Piney Creek, died at 
twenty minutes of 12 o'clock on Thursday night after a lingering 
illness.  For four or five months back Mrs. Wagner had been in vary 
poor health and for the last six weeks had been considered in a very 
critical condition, till about ten days before death, she rallied and 
it was thought was on a fair way for recovery.  But on Thursday morning 
she took a sudden relapse which ended her suffering in less that 
twenty-four hours.  All through her suffering she was very patient, and 
while she loved life and had prospects of a bight and happy future 
before her, when she realized that the end was near she peacefully 
submitted to the will of the Master.
  Mrs. Wagner was a very devoted woman to her husband, relatives and 
friends, and also to the duties of her household.  She was gentle in 
her manners, pleasant in her conversation and loved to all who knew 
her.  Before her death she was baptized in the faith and became a full 
member of the Lutheran church.  Beside a kind and devoted husband, she 
leaves to mourn their loss a father and mother, who are Mr. and Mrs. 
Shuman, and several brothers and sisters.  Deceased was born March 3, 
1860, and died January 15, 1891, aged 39 years, 10 months and 12 days.  
Rev. Sheeder conducted the funeral services, which were held in the 
Methodist Episcopal church at Royer on Saturday, and preached a very 
interesting and impressive sermon from the words found in the tenth 
verse of the ninth chapter of Ecclesiastes, after which the remains 
were laid to rest in the cemetery at Royer.  The bereaved have the 
heartfelt sympathy of the entire community.
