  HARRY E. WAGNER, owner and proprietor of a general store at Ramey, Clearfield 
county, Pa., was born in this county in 1868 and is a son of William and Harriet 
(Wesley) Wagner.
  William Wagner has spent his life in Clearfield county and during his active 
years followed lumbering.  He has always been identified with the Democratic 
party.  He married Harriet Wesley, who was born also in Clearfield county and 
died about 1880.  To William Wagner and wife four children were born:  Harry E.; 
Edith, who is the wife of E. C. Davis; Frank; and Chace.
  Harry E. Wagner attended the public schools and since then has been almost 
continuously engaged in the mercantile business.  In 1895 he started for 
himself, in a small way at first, but has shown much business ability in the 
development of his enterprise, carrying now a large and well assorted stock and 
occupying a commodious building which he erected in 1904.  In politics he is a 
Republican.  Mr. Wagner is now serving in the borough council and formerly was 
auditor and for a number of years was a member of the school board.  He is well 
known all over Gulich township and is numbered with the honorable and successful 
business men of this section.
  In March 1893, Mr. Wagner was married to Miss Josephine Westover, a daughter 
of David and Hannah (Baldwin) Westover, residents of Clearfield county.  Mrs. 
Wagner has the following brothers and sisters:  Aaron, Joseph, Cecelia, 
Elizabeth, Dessie, Anna and Sadie.  Mr. and Mrs. Wagner have four children:  
Edward, Lazeffa, Bernice and Marie.  Mr. Wagner and family attend the Methodist 
Episcopal church.  He is identified fraternally with the Masons at Osceola and 
the P. O. S. of A., at Ramey.
