Mr. Wagner had been in poor health for some time and his advanced age made it impossible for him to combat disease. Mr. Wagner was born in Germany and came to America in his youth, locating here soon after his arrival in this country. He was one of the employees of the old Two Rivers Manufacturing Co., and when war was declared in 1861, he enlisted in the Union Army, serving in the 48th Wisconsin under Capt. Adolph Wittman of this city. After the war, Mr. Wagner returned to Two Rivers and became prominent in city affairs. He was elected a member of the County Board and served for sixteen consecutive years. At the time of his death, Mr. Wagner was a member of the Soldier's Relief Commissioin of the county. Mr. Wagner bore a marked resemblance to the martyred president, Abraham Lincoln and took great pride in the title bestowed upon him by his friends, that of Abraham Lincoln Wagner by which he was familiarly known. Though not as tall as Lincoln, Mr. Wagner's features were in marked similarity to the war time president. Four daughters survive Mr. Wagner, Mrs. Frank Riley of Two Rivers, Mrs. W. Heubner, Mrs. Ack Whitney, this city and Mrs. F. Mason of Neenah. Mr. Wagner was a member of the I.O.O.F. And of Rankin Post G.A.R. At Two Rivers.
