Young; had 8 children by 1893; moved to Dickinson County 1875; settled 1/2 mile N of Enterprise. ***** David Porter Wagner David Porter Wagner, an honored veteran of the late war, who owns and operates a good farm on section 17, Center Township, Dickinson County, is pleasantly located within a-half mile of Enterprise, to the north. He was born in Columbia County, Pa., November 20, 1810, and is a son of Isaac and Susanna (Hess) Wagner, natives of the Keystone State and representative of early families of Pennsylvania. Our subject was reared in his native county, where he remained until his enlistment in the United States service at Harrisburg, in 1862. He became a member of the Third Pennsylvania Artillery, and was in the middle department on the James River. While on duty on the gunboat "Jessup," he had charge of the magazine. All of the troops were captured and sent to Libby Prison, where all died. His being in charge of magazine prevented him from being captured. He served eleven months on a gunboat, and was afterward detailed as one of ten men to attend Gen. Butler on his headquarters boat, and with him he went on the Ft. Fisher expedition. He afterward became Orderly for Gen. Ord, in whose service he remained until after the surrender of Lee. Subsequently he returned to his regiment of Fortress Monroe, and was there as a guard over Jefferson Davis, Clay and Mitchell, standing guard in the cell of the famous rebel who was President of the Southern Confederacy. On the close of the war, Mr. Wagner received his discharge, in June, 1865, and returned to Pennsylvania, where he worked for his brother for a year, and later spent one year in Illinois. He then spent six months in Iowa, and afterward engaged in farming for seven years in Boone County, Iowa. During that time he was married, on the 16th of September, 1869, the lady of his choice being Miss Agnes S. Young, of Boone County. She was a native of Ohio, but was taken to Iowa when two years old. Her parents, George D. and Caroline (Rider) Young, were natives of Pennsylvania and Virginia, respectively. Unto our subject and his wife have been born the following children: Elizabeth, now the wife of Harry Keller, of Dickinson County; Henry; Frank; Carrie; Reuben, who died in childhood; Edwin, who died in infancy; Jessie and Howard. In 1875, Mr. Wagner came with his family to this county and purchased one hundred and sixty acres of his present farm at $10 per acre. It has since been his home, and it now comprises one hundred and eighty-two acres. Wheat and corn are his principal products and he feeds between two and three hundred hogs. A fine bearing orchard contains three hundred apple trees and other fruit. The many improvements upon the farm, its well-tilled fields and neat appearance, all indicate the thrift and enterprise of the owner. In politics, Mr. Wagner is a supporter of the Democratic party, and, socially, is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. Himself and wife hold membership in the Reformed Church, and are highly respected citizens of the community. Their pleasant home is conveniently situated a half-mile north of Enterprise, and is the abode of hospitality. Mr. Wagner was a faithful soldier, and is alike true to every duty of citizenship.
