Notizen bei Andrew Wagner

Source: Vol. VI, The Wagners, USA, (1804-1988), by Virginia Stolle Mueller, August 1988 ANDREW WAGNER Andrew Wagner born 15 June 1839, first child, first son of five living children of Joseph, Sr. and Barbara, nee Werner, Wagner. At this time (1987) it is believed he was born in Lawrence tovn- ship, Stark County, Ohio where he would also have been baptized in the Catholic Church. His father was a farmer, whereby Andrew grew up on the farm and continued in this occupation. From Stark County his parents moved to Seneca County, Ohio.... around 1846-7. His schooling, at least to 1850 (age 11) was at Big Spring, Seneca County, Ohio and possibly a few grades in the one room Catholic School at Sharpsburg, Mercer County, Ohio were his father moved in 1854, after the death of his mother. Andrew could sign his name and on the 1860 census his sister, Magdelene, was in school. I'm sure that if the girls went to school, Andy did too. Most children went to about 6th grade at that time. Andrew was short and stocky build. At the age of 26, Andrew married Catherine Berns (Behrns). They were married 13 June 1865 at St. Mary Catholic Church at Philo- thea, Mercer County, Ohio by Rev. Alpho4so Lann, with Georgino Turches and Katherine Gutke witnesses. Philothea is laid out and comprises all of southwest fourt of southeast, fourth of section 5, township 7 SI rangeE. The lots are each five by ten rods inclusive of one-half of Bremen Street off south Tier. Bremen Street is twenty-six feet wide. The southwest corner of which is thirty feet north of the guar- ter part south of section 5. The northeast corner of lot 1 is witnessed by a walnut ten inches, west 23 links. Church and burying ground is twenty by eighty rods. Flat, page 58 Catherine Behrns Wagner was born 12 December 1842 (from death certificate), Darmstadt, Germany, the daughter of Jacob Behrns and Elizabeth, born Simmer, Behrns. Both Jacob and Elizabeth were born in Germany. When Catherine was four, her father brought the family (she had an older brother, Jacob) to the United States and to Mercer County. She was educated in the public schools. Her parents died of the cohlera shortly after arrival in the U.S. Catherine and her brother, Jacob, were placed in the care of a guardian. Before his marriage, Andrews father, Joseph, leased him his farm with certain provisions: In consideration Andrew Wagner doth promise to pay Joseph Wagner 1/3 in cash from all wheat he sold from the said premises that is from grain and chattels and if he have to buy any chattels the said Joseph Wagner had to pay 1/3 and the said Andrew Wagner to Boarding the said Joseph Wagner and to do the washing and sewing for the said Joseph Wagner except for new clothing. The said Andrew Wagner for himself and assigns also agree to pay 2/3 of taxes imposed assessed upon said premises during said term and keep the fences in good husband like manner and if there is any repairs on the house or barn as well. The said Joseph Wagner to pay 1/3 to it to cultivate said premises in a good and husband like manner and quietly yield posession to the said Joseph Wagner his heirs and assigns at the expiration of said term in witness whereof the said Joseph Wagner and Andrew Wagner have hereunto their hand and seal this 12th day of May in the year of our Lord 1865. This farm contained 51 and 52/100 acres more or less in section 6, township 7, South of range 2 This was West of Philothea and Southwest of Coldwater. Copy of lease, page 60 Butler Township Map showing location of farm, page 61 qBees" -- There were many tasks which one person, or even one family, could not very well do alone. So "bees" were common, that is, cooperative efforts between friends and neighbors. There were quilting bees, butchering bees, threshing bees, corn-husking bees, and log-rolling bees. For these bees friends and neighbors would come to do the job first at one place and then at another. This made the work light and plea- sant by adding some social life. It took big meals for thresh- ing and quilting bees when 15 or 20 workers had to be fed. Five children were born to Andrew and Catherine: 1. Mary Catherine Wagner, born 25 August 1866 2. Philomena Wagner, born 22 January 1869 3. Catherine Barbara Wagner, born 9 April 1871 4. John Wagner, born 8 February 1873 5. Henry J. Wagner, born 23 July 1875 Apple butter was cooked in a large copper kettle outdoors. The kettle sat on an iron tripod under which a fire was built. The apple butter had to be stirred all the time to keep it from burning. A large wooden ladle was used for that. Laundry soap was also made out-doors. People saved all other- wise unusable grease and fat. At soap-cooking time they put this into a large iron kettle on an iron tripod and put a fire underneath. A can of lye was added to the grease. The soap also had to be stirred almost all the time to keep it from cooking over. After it was cooked long enough, it was allowed to coo2 until the next morning, when the soap had come to the top and hardened. Then it was cut into suitable pieces and laid out in the sun to dry. Bread and coffee cake were baked in a large brick-lined Dutch oven outdoors, After the lease was up on his fathers farm, Andrew bought 60 acres in Granville township. On 9 April 1873 Andrew and Catherine bought from Bernard Romer, Jr. of St. Henrys, Ohio the 60 acres for $427.00. Bernard Romer taking the mortgage. This farm was the Southwest quarter of the North east quarter, and the south half of the south west quarter of the North east quarter of section twenty-nine (29) township fifteen (15) Range two (2) east, sixty acres more or less. He had three premisory notes of even date; one for $150.00 the next year; one for $125 two years after date; one for $152.00 three years after date. All bearing interest from 3 January 1873 payable annually. 6% interest. On 24 May 1876 the taxes on this 60 acres was $3.33 for 4 year taxes for 1875. Copy of map showing plat, page 63 Copy of tax bill, page 64 The log cabin on this property stood on what is now (1987) Post Road, alongside a deep woods the children called "Bugger Woods." In 1875 there was a snow storm, Even with the heavy snow on the ground, Andrew left his family to travel`to Sharpsburg, Ohio, a few miles away to help his sick sister and family. Rosina's husband, Herman (Henry) had died of T.B. on 5 November 1874 leaving Rosina and her three small sons, the third child only a few months old. (The third son was born July 1874). Rosina did not get well. She died 29 December 1875 of the smallpox. While helping his sister, Andrew also contracted the smallpox. He had been gone about two weeks and his wife began to wonder what happened. Having small children at home; no cars yet -- walk was about two miles away -- a neighbor went to check on Andy and his sister for Catherine. He had also died of small- pox. In those days when anyone died of colera, smallpox, etc. they were buried as quickly as possible so as not to spread the disease. Andrew died just after Christmas, 29 December 1875, age 36, leaving his wife and five small children. Sacraments and burial was by Rev. Rudolph Abbrederis. Another example of the time as told by Viola: a neighbor had died of one of the diseases. He was laid out in his home in front of the window so that anyone wanting to view him could do so from outside without being exposed to the illness. I've been given two versions of what happened to this family! One With help of neighbors, friends and family the family stayed together on the farm, until they left one by one. Two Unable to care for all the children, Catherine kept the two smallest (both boys) with her. She may have kept one daughter at home also --- Supposedly, a man from another town took the girls--they did some housekeeping, odd jobs for board and schooling.
