Biography

George Wagner, 56, was born at Mittelschefflenz, Baden, Germany on
April 25, 1809, and died near Logan cemetery on March 4, 1865.  His
parent were Johan George Wagner and Ana Catharina Feil Wagner.  He
married Christiane Barbara Seitz on March 16, 1834 at
Mittelschefflenz. Four children were born to them there; Christina
on September 17, 1834, George on June 3, 1836, William on July 29,
1840 and August on November 7, 1845.

The family emigrated to the USA in 1852, sailing from Harve to New
York City, NY on the ship "Col. Colts".  They arrived at New York
City on April 23, 1852, and their first home in the USA was at
Cleveland, OH. Their 5th child, Rose, was born at Cleveland, OH on
March 19, 1853. In 1856 they moved to Clyman township, Dodge
county, Wisconsin. Sometime after the 1860 US Census their
daughter, Christina, married Henry Fraber in Wisconsin.  On April
1, 1861 the family, except for Christian and Henry Fraber, left
Wisconsin and moved to Dodge county Nebraska. They traveled with
the Henry Schwab Sr. family, and arrived on July 4, 1861. In 1862
George built a log cabin on his land in Section 11.  His grandson,
Henry Wagner, was born in this log cabin on April 2, 1869.

In 1865 George Wagner donated 2 acres of his farm to be used as
Logan cemetery.  George died at his farm home on March 4, 1865, and
he became the first person to be buried in Logan cemetery. George
was survived by his wife, daughters; Christina and Rose and sons;
George, William and August.

George and Christiane Wagner History

Compiled from 
the 1876-1976 Centennial History of Hooper, 
page 216,
The Hooper Nebraska Sentinel 
of October 2, 1930 
and other sources

George Wagner was born in Mittelschefflenz, Baden, Germany on April
25, 1809 and died at Hooper, Nebraska on March 4, 1865. His wife,
Christiane Seitz, was also born in Mittelschefflenz, Baden, Germany
on July 7, 1814 and died at Hooper, Nebraska on May 18, 1875.  Both
are buried at Logan Cemetery.  All of their children except Rose
were born in Mittelschefflenz, Baden, Germany. Rose was born at
Cleveland, Ohio.

They left Mittelschefflenz, Germany for America in 1852. They came
to America on the ship "Col. Colts" which sailed from Havre, France
and arrived in New York City on April 23, 1852.  They lived in
Cleveland, Ohio until 1856 when they moved to Clyman Township,
Dodge County, Wisconsin.  They left Wisconsin April 1, 1861 with
the Henry Schwab Sr. family for Nebraska.  They traveled by oxen-
drawn covered wagons and arrived in Nebraska on July 4, 1861(1).
The Wagner and Schwab families shared an abandoned log cabin thru
the first winter.  It had one room below and one room above. Both
families homesteaded in the Logan Creek area.  In 1862 Mr. Wagner
build a log house on his land in section 11. Their grandson, George
August (Henry) Wagner, was born in this log house on April 2, 1869.
In 1864 Mr. Wagner gave 2 acres of his land for the Logan Cemetery.
He was in poor health and it is reported that he is the first
person to be buried there.  All of their children, except William,
are buried in Logan Cemetery.  Descendants of the Logan Creek
community pioneers still help maintain the cemetery.

In 1874 The Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church was built near the
Logan Cemetery.  In 1940 the church building was sold at public
auction and was purchased by Albert Weigle who removed it to a
nearby farm.

Their son William went west for the gold rush.  He never returned
and was never heard from again.

Their daughter Christina married Henry Freber before moving to
Nebraska. Sometime after Christina's death (giving birth to their
third daughter, who died at birth) in 1866, Henry Freber and their
two daughters returned to Wisconsin.  Many of their descendants now
live in Canada. Christina and the third daughter are buried in
Logan Cemetery.

Their son George Jr. served in the U.S. Army during the Civil War,
fighting Indians in the Dakotas from 1862-1863.  George Jr. was
discharged at Omaha, Nebraska Territory at the age of 26. George
Jr. married Rosena Uehling and they had 9 children. George Jr.
purchased land in Hooper Township and built a home there. Some of
the land is still owned by his descendants and the home was still
in use as late as 1967.  George and Rosena are buried in Logan
Cemetery.

Their son Carl Ludwig August married Elizabeth Uehling and they had
15 children.  Elizabeth Uehling and Rosena Uehling are sisters.  C.
L. August and Elizabeth are buried in Logan Cemetery.

Their daughter Rosa C. married Joe Stecher and they had 3 children.
Rosa and Joe are also buried in Logan Cemetery. In 1865 a log
school house was built.  It was the first school building in the
Logan Creek community.  It was replaced by a frame building in
1872.  The frame building, known as the Stecher School, is still
standing but has not been used as a school for many years.

The first church services and school were held in the Logan Mill,
believed to be the first mill north of the Platte River.  It was
built in 1859.  The Logan Post Office was established in 1862 and
A. C. Briggs was the postmaster(2).
