: ADAM Y. WAGNER.
WAGNER.—In the passing away
of Adam Yeager Wagner, at his home
on Willowbank street at 5:30 o’ciock
on Sunday morning, Bellefonte loses
another of its well known men. Mr.
Wagner’s death, however, was not
unexpected. A victim of arterio-
sclerosis he was taken ill eleven
months ago but during last summer
he had days of recuperation when he
was able to be out and walk around
but in September he grew so much
worse that he was compelled to take
his bed and ever since had been con-
fined to his room.
A son of Jacob and Sabina Yeager
Wagner he was born in Lebanon coun-
ty on March 7th, 1843, hence had at-
tained the age of 83 years, 1 month
and 26 days. When he was ten years
of age his parents decided to come to
Centre county and made the trip by
train as far as Lewistown, coming
across the Seven Mountains on the
stage coach, which was the regular
means of travel of that day. Their
household goods were shipped by boat
and came to Bellefonte on the old
canal which had its terminus at
the foot of Lamb Street. The
house into which the family moved
stood on a spot about where the ex-
press office is now located in the
corner of the Bush house. The elder
Wagner was a miller by trade and he
went to work in the old Wagner &
Thomas mill, which was located near
the present site of the Frank M.
Mayer mill. The family lived in
Bellefonte two years during the win-
ters of which Adam attended the pub-
lic school. In 1853 they moved
to Rock where the father took charge
of the mill of W. F. Reynolds & Co.
When but fourteen years of age
Adom went into the mill to assist his
father and not only learned the trade
in all its phases but assimilated the
business of buying and selling in
such a thorough manner that at the
age of twenty years his father retired
and he took complete charge of the
mill. This was in 1863 and for thirty-
two years he operated the mill, most
of the time for W. F. Reynolds & Co.,
and later for W. Fred Reynolds.
The Reynolds mill was the medium
through which all the grain ra:sed on
the Reynolds farms in Benner town-
ship, now the site of the Rockview
penitentiary, was prepared for mar-
" ket and this assured a good supply
of grain year after year. Naturally
the business with W. F. Reynolds &
Co. aggregated many thousands of
dollars a year and so exact and con-
cientious was Mr. Wagner in all his
dealings that his personal statement
was always accepted by Mr. Reynolds
as a basis for a settlement of their
yearly dealings.
Mr. Wagner retired in 1895 and was
succeeded by his two sons, C. Y. and
H. A. Wagner, and in 1896 he moved
to Bellefonte and during the past
thirty years had lived a retired life.
He was a member of the Reformed
church all his life and a liberal sup-
porter of all phases of church work.
In politics he was a staunch Demo-
crat though he never aspired to of-
fice for himself.
He was a man possessed of a very
acute and retentive memory and had
a fund of reminiscences of people and
events in connection with Bellefonte
and Centre county during the past
seventy years which he could relate
in a most interesting manner, and
his passing away will draw the veil
forever on these little side-lights of
historical data, most of which never
found their way into print.
On December 24th, 1866, Mr. Wag-
ner married Miss Susan Wagner, a
daughter of John M. and Sarah
Weiser Wagner, who passed away on
November 7th, 1919. Surviving him,
however, are five children, Mrs. Dan-
jel F. Houser and C. Y. Wagner, of
Bellefonte; Harry A. Wagner, of Oak
Hall; Mrs. George H. Hazel and Mrs.
M. B. Runkle, of Bellefonte. He also
leaves fifteen grand-children and four
great grand-children as well as one
brother, David Y. Wagner, of Le-
mont, and one sister, Mrs. Sabina
Houser, of Pennsylvania Furnace.
Funeral services were held at his
late home at two o’clock on Tuesday
afternoon by Rev. Robert Thena, of
the Reformed church, burial being
made in the Union cemetery.

WOLFE. Peter Augustus Wolfe, a
well known resident of Bellefonte,
died very suddenly at 5:30 o'clock on
Saturday evening while at work on
the farm of John Devinney, a short
distance below Hecla. He was a son
of Joseph and Sarah Wolfe and was
born in Bellefonte on July 21st, 1855;
hence was in his seventy-first year.
Most all of his life was spent in Belle-
fonte. His only survivors are one
brother and a sister, William and
Sarah Wolfe, both of Bellefonte. Rev.
J. A. Mills, of the United Brethren
church, had charge of the funeral ser-
vices which were held at two o’clock
on Wednesday afternoon, burial be-

of a stroke of paralysis.
He was a son of Peter and Maria

pastoral work in the Reformed

to Harrisburg.
. Dr. Robb was president of the West

dent of the Potomac Synod in 1900
