Wagner, 72, who resided in a cottage on East River Road.' Mr. Wagner, • bartender In the Joe Miller tavern for the past Ave years, had completed his day^s work on Satarday noon and returned home apparently in good health. On Sunday morning, December 2S, about 8:30 o'clock, a neighbor, John Herdrich, seeing Mr. Wagner's car „ still in the garage, entered the home to fine the elderly man lying dead on the kitchen floor. He was attired in good clothes and was believed to be preparing to attend mass when he died. The deceased was born in McHenry in 187S, the son of Peter and Barbara Jacobs Wagner. He engaged in carpenter-contracting until his retirement from that line of work several years ago. He resided with his sister, Mrs. Hubert .Weber, until about six years ago, when he moved to his home near the river.
