FANNIE M. WAGNER

  Mrs. Fannie Margaret Wagner, born and reared at Avilton, Garrett County, Md., 
Jan. 9, 1873, died in the Memorial Hospital, Cumberland, Md., March 21, 1943, 
aged 70 years, 2 months and 11 days.  She was a daughter of Samuel and Isabelle 
Minkey Garlitz, and was united in marriage with Charles Wagner about 51 years 
ago, in Frostburg, Md.
  Her death was caused by internal cancers and followed a surgical operation 
which she underwent, Wednesday morning, March 16.  She is survived by her 
husband and these children: Earl of Somerset; Harry of Uniontown; Lee of 
Baltimore, Md.; Marie, wife of C. G. Gonder, of Ligonier; Lillian, wife of 
Clarence Cochrane of Lechrone, Pa.; Florence of Somerset and Blanche of 
Johnstown.  She is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Lavina Brown of Avilton, 
Md.
  For a number of years after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Wagner resided in 
Meyersdale, where Mr. Wagner was engaged in wagon-making and blacksmithing, but 
more than 20 years ago, they located in Salisbury, where Mr. Wagner was born and 
reared, and where he has been blacksmithing ever since.
  The funeral services for Mrs. Wagner were conducted at the family home, by 
Rev. Ira S. Monn, pastor of the Evangelical and Reformed Church, at 2:30 p.m. 
Wednesday, where many relatives and friends called to pay their last sad 
respects to one whom they held in high esteem for her many good qualities and 
kindly acts to those about, and to those whom she could help in any way.  There 
were many beautiful floral tributes.
  Interment was in the I.O.O.F. Cemetery under the direction of Stanley M. 
Thomas, local mortician.
