N. G. WAGNER, son of John and Elizabeth (Glatfelter) Wagner, was born in 1851, in 
York County.  His grandfather, Jacob Wagner, was also a native of York County, 
and died in Manheim Township.  John Wagner, the father of our subject, was a 
farmer through life; his widow is still living in Spring Grove.  Our subject was 
reared on a farm, but in October, 1876, entered into mercantile business, which 
he carried on in Manheim Township, and at other points, until 1881, when he came 
to Spring Grove, where he is now carrying on a large trade.  In 1872 he married 
Alice J. Bortner, of Codorus Township, and by her has six children:  Janeva, 
Charles, Henry T., Mary, Minnie A. and Bessie.  Mr. Wagner is a member of Mt. 
Olivet No. 997, I. O. O. F., and with his wife a member of the St. Paul’s 
Lutheran Church at Spring Grove.
