John Gagner, a hard working farmer of Rice Lake Township, owning the home
place of 160 acres in section 22, was born on the farm where he still lives,
Aug. 25, 1888, son of Peter and Sialina (Lavelier) Gagner, early settlers. 
He was reared on the home farm, attended school for a while and early took 
up farm work with his father.  He gradually assumed charge of the work, and 
at his father's death assumed ownership of the farm. He is well thought of 
by his neighbors and stands well throughout the community. In addition to 
the home place he owns a tract of 80 acres in section 23, Rice Lake Township, 
and a forty-acre tract of wild land in Sumner Township. His stock includes 
Guernsey cattle, pure bred Chester-White hogs and a good grade of horses. He 
was married April 26, 1910, to Lida Demars. The family are members of the 
Catholic Church.
