WAGNER, ARDELLE ***************************************************************** Name on Tombstone = Carl L A Wagner Dates on Tombstone = 7 Nov 1845 - 23 Feb 1923 Obituary The Hooper Sentinel March 1, 1923 A Resident Since 1861 Passes Away Suddenly When word was passed around Friday evening that August Wagner had been stricken with heart failure and passed away soon afterward, a sense of deep regret was heard on all sides. His demise was sudden, as up to that time he had seemed to be enjoying his usual health and had partaken of a hearty evening meal. He had risen from the table and had started for another room when he was stricken, with death coming a few moments later. The death of this respected and well known man again brings us to the realization that the ranks of the real pioneers of this section is rapidly thinning. In his sixty years' residence in this community, Mr. Wagner shared the vicissitudes, trials and hardships of the early settler and had seen this country grow from a land of unbroken wilds and prairies to one of plenty and prosperity. In those early days he took a prominent part in the community's affairs and was a man always ready, and never failing, to do any task asked of him, and always unselfishly gave his aid to any friend in time of need. He had a large acquaintance and among these he was always held in high esteem. Carl Ludwig August Wagner was born in Middleschefland, November 7, 1845, and died at Hooper, Nebr., February 23, 1923, at the age of 77 years, 3 months and 16 days. He came to America in 1852, locating in Ohio and later removing to Wisconsin. In 1863 he made the overland trip to Nebraska and located on a farm near Logan Creek, northeast of the present site of Hooper. He was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Uehling on October 9, 1868, and thus a union of over fifty-four years is broken through the death of the husband. To this sacred union fifteen children were born, of whom twelve survive. They are Henry, Edward, Gilbert, Mrs. Henry Mallette, Mrs. Ben Ott, Mrs. Herman Janssen, Mrs. Alfred Stroh, and Mrs. Fred Dierking of Hooper, Mrs. John M. Uehling of Elizabeth, Nebr., Wm. Wagner of Neligh, Mrs. Isaac Mallette of Craig and Alfred Wagner of Ignacio, Colo. A sister, Mrs. Joseph Stecher of Fremont, also survives him. The funeral services were held at the Zion's Lutheran Church at 1:30 Monday afternoon, the pastor, Rev. J. Schrader, preaching the words of comfort to the sorrowing family and the large gathering of friends who had come to thus pay their last respects to a friend and neighbor. Interment was made in the Hooper cemetery(1). The pall bearers were grandsons of the deceased, Harry Wagner, Edward, Harold, Lester and Sherman Mallette and Fred Ott, Jr. Out of town relatives here for funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Wagner of Neligh, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Mallette and family of Craig, Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Stecher of Fremont and Mr. and Mrs. Walter Binger of Neligh, and Mrs. John Uehling of Elizabeth.

This time the call came to Mrs. August Wagner, who passed away at 2:50 p.m. last Thursday, October l6, 1924, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Alfred Stroh. The cause of her death was due to a paralytic stroke she suffered the morning of the day before.

Wagner of Hooper Badly Burned in Blast Explosion Is Cause of Injury to Fire Chief Hooper, Nov. 10 - Harry M. Wagner, chief of the Hooper volunteer fire department, was seriously burned Sunday morning by a mysterious explosion in a burning home. The explosion occurred in the Frank H. Nelson home shortly after 11:30 o'clock Sunday morning, when Wagner and other volunteer firemen were fighting flames that threatened to destroy the residence. The fire chief was standing on the roof of the kitchen which adjoins the main building. A window near him was shattered, and fragments were thrown a distance of 50 feet. The roof of the house was raised a foot in the air, and when it dropped back the whole building appeared to bulge out. Wagner sustained burns on the left side of his body and head, his left eye was closed, and his left hand and arm were painfully scorched. The cause of the explosion is not known. The fire is believed to have started in a small clothes closet. The house was heated by a coal stove, and there was fire in the stove, but there were no indications that this figured in either the origin of the fire or the subsequent explosion. Mrs. Nelson and a daughter were at church at the time. The fire was discovered by Mr. Nelson while he was standing on the street a short distance away talking to a friend. By the time firemen arrived the blaze was gaining great headway. Note - This item was typed from a clipping of the newspaper item and was sent to me by Betty Shaffer McMaster in 1991. M.
