General Notes: Husband - Jacob Wagenseller, M.D.
He was liberally educated, having graduated at the University of Pennsylvania. He established himself in the practice of medicine in his native county, but in about 1827 located at Selins Grove, Snyder County. In addition to practicing medicine he carried on mercantile business, keeping a general store and dealing extensively in grain. He was thus engaged at the time of his death, which occurred at Selins Grove. He had abandoned his profession some years previously.
He was a Whig, and as such was elected to the State Senate, serving two terms, being a member at the time of his death.
