The Wagner Cemetery is managed by the Grandview Township Trustees. Richard Wilson is the Chairman as of 2017. To purchase lots please contact Grandview Township Clerk, Earl McGill, at 319-729-2281.

Wagner Cemetery is located near the Muscatine & Louisa County line. Directions from Muscatine - take Highway 61 south / Highway 92 west, to 190th Street. Turn left (east). The cemetery entrance is a very short distance from the turnoff on the right side of the road. The grassy alleyway, leading up a small enbankment, is not marked by a cemetery sign.

Lynn and Bob McCleary worked with Earl McGill in developing better documentaion for this cemetery. Following the plat map of October 21, 1955, they photographed all the stones and noted their locations. The following is the data base they compiled, submitted to Louisa Co IAGenWeb on July 30 2017.
