A little background on the Wageners from Yates County, New York:

23 September 1875
Died after a protracted illness, at his residence in Pulteney, Mr. David S. Wagener on Thursday, September 9, 1875, at the age of fifty-one years, ten months and twenty-two days. [He] was the son of Melchoir Wagener, one of the first settlers of Pulteney, and was born on the farm where he died…At the age of about twenty-two he traveled west, going through several states, and finally engaged in the lumbering business with his oldest brother W.W. Wagener in Lapeer county, Mich. After he had been there about a year his brother died and he too was very sick with the fever of the country, but he soon recovered his health and came east, where he engaged in the flouring business in Yates county near Penn Yan. He there erected the Farmers’ Mills …At about this time he married Miss Mary Ann McArthur of Lapeer county, by whom he reared four children—two sons and two daughters. Soon after the death of his father at Pulteney he bought the old homestead that he loved so well and moved his family there…--Jacob Wagener
