County, O., July 26, 1823, and is the only surviving child 
of a family of seven children, born to John and Jemima 
(Carr) Wagner. John Wagner, who was a blacksmith, and also 
a sickle, scythe and axe maker, was born in Pennsylvania, 
in 1794; his wife was a native of Monroe County, O. Mr. 
Wagner attended school but little, but being an extensive 
reader, stored his mind with useful information. He early 
engaged in farming, which occupation he still follows. He 
has been twice married. His first wife, Sarah E. Blake, 
whom he married March 8, 1849, bore him four children: 
John, Sarah J., William and Rufus; the latter deceased. His 
present wife, whose maiden name was Eliza J. Brown, is a 
native of Ohio, and daughter of John and Polly Brown; from 
this second marriage six children have been born: Mary Ann 
(deceased), Adeline, Fannie, Franklin, Charles, and Ida. 
Mr. Wagner was formerly a Whig, and is now a Republican; he 
was for several years Road Supervisor, and also School 
Director.
