General Notes: Husband - Jacob Wagner

---

His father dying before he was born, he was reared by his maternal grandparents until sixteen years of age, when he started out in life for himself. He served an apprenticeship at the harness-maker's trade under Eli Orand, of Adamsburg, Pennsylvania, with whom he remained three years, and then returned to the home of his grandfather Geist, where he followed harness-making on his own account for a year. He then spent one year in Schuylkill County, and in 1848 came to Jefferson County, locating on the later site of Worthville, where he resided with Eli Geist for two years. He then purchased 200 acres of land on which the town was later situated, and operated a saw and grist mill, and carried on a mercantile store, also farmed and lumbered. During this time he was associated in business with Eli Geist, but after three years the partnership was dis-solved, Mr. Wagner taking as his share of the property which became his homestead, comprising 111 acres of rich and arable land. He continued to engage in lumbering and farming for a number of years, and his son-in-law, Samuel W. Shick, was his partner in carrying on these industries. He also engaged in merchandising for four years.
He held membership in the Lutheran Church. In politics he was a Democrat.
