Before his absence was noticed and one could begin to look for him he was nowhere to be found. Sat. morning at 9 o'clock it was reported by a southbound freight train that a man's body was lying in a ditch alongside the tracks. A search party immediately set out and found Wagner's body near Erdmann's Store and brought it back to Cleveland. Because there were no obvious body wounds, no inquest was necessary. It is believed that he had suffered another epileptic fall from which his death ensued. The deceased was born in Stefel, Luxemburg, and was over 72 yrs. of age. He came to Centerville in 1848 where he operated his father's farm. In addition to his wife he is survived by 3 sons, 4 daughters, and various grandchildren.
