Sam Wagner

Here is a small photo of Sam Wagner, taken  by Brenner Photographer, Bucyrus Ohio.  It was found loose in my family photo album.  While there is no further information on the back of the photo I believe this man to be Samuel Pearson Wagner, son of David Wagner and Christina Eckard.  His mother, Christina Eckard was the daughter of George Eckert and Margaret Kiess.  They were also the parents of Christopher Eckard who is my great great grandfather.  Sam would be a cousin to my great grandmother Ella Elizabeth Eckart Wood and a brother to George LeRoy Wagner of a previous post.
Samuel Pearson Wagner was born 11 March 1860 in Bucyrus Ohio.  He married Nannie B. Lair on 22 March 1885 in Dawson NE.  Nannie was born is Dawson on 13 July 1867 and died 4 December 1885 the same day their only child died.  Samuel died 19 Jan 1918.  Samuel and Nannie are both buried in the Heim Cemetery at Dawson NE, lot 120-5 and 120-4.  I assume that their unnamed child may have been buried with Nannie as that was often the custom.  You can find a photo of the gravestone here.
