ERNEST WALTER WAGNER

  Ernest Walter Wagner, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fannie Garlitz Wagner, of Salisbury, 
died very suddenly in Elwood City, Lawrence County, Wednesday of last week where 
he had for some time been employed.  He was a native of Salisbury, having been 
born here Oct. 17, 1906, and here grew to manhood.  His age was 36 years and 24 
days.
  During recent years he resided a portion of the time in Maryland and West 
Virginia, and also within the last year was living in Salisbury, when he was 
drafted to serve in the Army, but was rejected because of a bad heart condition, 
and that ailment is supposed to have brought on his death.  His body was 
prepared for burial by an Elwood City mortician and from there was brought to 
the home of his parents in Salisbury, by Stanley M. Thomas, the well-known 
Salisbury mortician.
  In addition to his parents, the deceased is also survived by three brothers 
and four sisters, namely, Earl of Somerset; Harry of Uniontown; Lee of 
Baltimore, Md.; Mrs. Mary Gonder, of Ligonier; Mrs. Lillian Cochrane of 
Leckrone; Miss Florence Wagner of Somerset, and Miss Blanche Wagner of 
Johnstown.
  Funeral services were conducted at the home of the parents, Mr. and Mrs. 
Charles Wagner, last Friday, at 3:00 o'clock p.m., by Rev. Ira S. Monn.
  Burial was in the Salisbury Odd Fellows Cemetery, under the direction of 
Stanley M. Thomas, local mortician.
