Albert Russell Wagner Expired Suddenly while At Wheel of His Car

  Albert Russell Wagner died suddenly in his car on route home from work on the 
B & O Railroad at Mance on Tuesday afternoon at 3:50 p.m.  Along with Walter 
Spiker and a Mr. Forespring, who were riding with him, he left Mance in apparent 
good health.  A short time later he told his companions that he did not feel 
very well, and immediately braked the car to a stop and turned off the ignition, 
and then fell over the steering wheel in death.  Death was ascribed to coronary 
occlusion by the county coroner.

Barbara E. (Johnson) Wagner and was 54 years, 11 months and 6 days old at his 
death.  He was married to Erma Bockes, and in addition to his wife is survived 
by one daughter, Phyllis; by five sons, Harry of the U.S. Navy; George Robert, 
Merchant Marine; Jack, in the Army in the Philippines; James B. of Akron, and 
Franklin, at home.  He is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Anna Berkebile of 
Cumberland, Md. and by four brothers: Ellis, Dewey, George and John, all of 
Salisbury.
  He was a member of the Lutheran Church.  Funeral services will be conducted at 
his home on Friday, October 5th, at 2:30 p.m., with Rev. George E. Bowersox, 
Jr., officiating.  Interment in the I.O.O.F. Cemetery, in charge of Stanley M.
