He had been in poor health for many years and during the past couple of years had suffered several strokes, from which however he had always recovered sufficiently so as to be able to be up and about and to engage in light tasks about the home and yard. George August Henry Wagner was born April 2, 1869, on a farm 3 1/2 miles northeast of Hooper, the son of a well-known pioneer couple, August and Elizabeth Wagner, and died November 28, 1940, at the age of 71 years 7 months and 26 days. He was united in marriage on June 2, 1898, to Miss Minnie Schwab, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schwab who, with their son-in-law's parents and with the Weigle family and others, came to this community together from Wisconsin and were among the earliest pioneer settlers. Baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith in the old Logan Church northeast of Hooper. Mr. Wagner was he oldest child of a large family and as such he was well acquainted with the pioneer experiences of those early times during his own younger days. Mr. and Mrs. Wagner spent nearly all of their married life as residents of Hooper, with the exception of only three years, from 1917 to 1920, when the family lived at Castleford, Idaho. During his life the husband and father worked at various trades, ten years having been spent as foreman of a county bridge construction crew. He was always respected and well liked by his associates and friends and was a particularly kindly father to his own three children and dearly beloved by his grandchildren. Surviving to mourn his death are his own immediate family, the sorrowing wife, two sons, Norman of Hooper and Harry of Oakland, and one daughter, Mrs. Clark Shaffer, Hooper. Seven grandchildren also survive as do the following sisters and brothers: Mrs. John Uehling, Kansas City; Mrs. Henry Mallette, Hooper; Mrs. Isaac Mallette, Craig; Mrs. Herman Janssen, Mrs. Ben Ott, Mrs. Alfred Stroh, Mrs. Fred Dierking and Edw. Wagner, all of Hooper; William of Neligh; Alfred of Niobrara and Gilbert of Morrill. Of the older generation one aunt, Mrs. John F. Meyer, a sister of Mrs. August Wagner, is the sole survivor.
