General Notes: Husband - William Jeremiah Wagenseller
Early in life he went to live with Henry and Catherine Bickhart. His education was obtained in the public schools of his district and in the school of life.
On October 28, 1862, he enlisted and was made corporal of Company F, 172nd P. V. I. His term of enlistment expired January 28, 1863. He again enlisted, this time on September 5, 1864, and was assigned to Company D, 208th P. V. I. On October 5, 1864, at Bermuda Hundred he was handed his commission as sergeant of his company. He participated in the fierce fighting at Fort Steadman, and in the capture of Petersburg, Virginia. On June 1, 1865, at the close of the war, he was discharged and returned to the life of a civilian. He was prominently connected with the Grange movement, and for several years was master of the local organization, and he also was the presiding officer of the Snyder County Pomona Grange. In 1883, the Grangers opened a co-operative store, and Mr. Wagenseller was chosen general manager, and held the position until November, 1890, when he voluntarily retired to private life.
