John Wagner was born in Frank, Russia on July 26, 1857 and died at McCook, Nebraska on August 18, 1928 at 12 o'clock, age 71 years and 23 days.
He came to America in June 4, 1878 and settled a few years at Hastings and later moved to Stratton and Max and then moved near Culbertson, where he resided until his death.
He joined the Evangelical Church early in the nineties and was a faithful, loving Christian. He held important offices in the church. Of him it can be said, "Blessed are the peacemakers for theirs shall be the Kingdom of Heaven." He was at prayer meetings and church services whenever his health allowed it. He had a firm faith in God and was a student of the Bible.
He was united in marriage to Marie Katherine Eisenach on June 4, 1882. To this union were born 13 children, five sons and 8 daughters. Two girls died in infancy and one son died at the age of four years. He was a loving father and husband. He could say to his children follow me as I Christ.
In church he was a strong "Pillar." He loved the church of Jesus Christ. He loved to testify for Christ his Master. He did a great deal for his Lord during his lifetime. May the good Lord reward him.
He is survived by two brothers, a loving wife, four sons, six daughters, and nineteen grandchildren, and a host of relatives and friends. May God bless the loved ones with a happy reunion in heaven.
The funeral was conducted from the home of Charles Yost at McCook, in Culbertson the splendid high school auditorium was secured. Rev. Wm. Noerenberg, a former pastor of the Evangelical Church at Harvard, Nebraska conducted the funeral in the German language and the pastor spoke in the American language. The text chosen by the deceased was the same text use at his mother's funeral. His plan was to also secure the same pastor, but the Lord willed it differently and called Rev. F. Ostertag home. The text was found in Revelations 14:13 "And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me. Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them."
The pallbearers were Conrad Wacker, C.J. Kern. C.F. Wagner, Casper Zailer, John Eisenach, and J.H. Wagner. The mixed quartette was composed of Mrs. Harry Wacker, Henry Hein, Gladys Hein, and Rev. Hoesch. The songs rendered were "Droben in Eden Netze Kein Aug'wenn Iein Freund ist blast, "A Little While," and "Home of the Soul." Interment was made in the Culbertson Cemetery with Mr. Otis of Trenton officiating.
Brother Wagner will be greatly missed in the home, church, and community. The sincerest sympathy is herewith expressed to the bereaved.
A Friend, a Brother, a Servant of God has gone to his eternal reward.
"When you're gone I won't forget you,
And I bid you when you go,
I recall the day you met me,
When you said you loved me so,
Once my heart was in your keeping
And perhaps you love me yet,
Far from me you'll soon be roaming
When you're gone I won't forget,
When you're gone I won't forget you
Every night I will remember the things you used say,
And my hope will keep on praying
To the day when first we met.
Thought you leave me broken hearted,
When you're gone I won't forget."
