Wendell Wagner, 60, former businessman of Postville and for many years a resident of this vicinty, passed away suddenly at McGregor last Saturday and funeral services were held in Postville at St. Paul's church Tuesday afternoon with interment being made in the Postville cemetery.
Mr. Wagner was born August 22,1878 at National, Clayton county. As a young man he operated a meat market at Garnavillo and later moved to Postville where he operated a similar business for many years.
He was married to Bertha Gericke March 18,1902, and for 22 years they made their home on a farm near Castalia. To them were born five children, four sons and a daughter. Mrs. Wagner passed away in 1924 and the daughter passed away in infancy.
After his wife's passing on, he moved to Postville and operated a meat market and for the past eight years he made his home with his son, Willard, at McGregor, being employed in a grocery store there.
Mr. Wagner is survived by his four sons, LeRoy and Harry Wagner of Clinton, Minnesota, Arthur Wagner of Luana, and Willard Wagner at McGregor. Also surviving is a step-son Eldo Gericke of Postville, his aged father Joseph Wagner of Monona, four sisters, three brothers living at Monona, and twelve grandchildren.

This was on the same page as my great-grandfather's obit probably Postville Herald 1939. Thought someone might be interested.
