in Marcy, Nov 22, 1861, and died at his home in Blossvale, Nov 5, 1912,
in his 51st year. He came to this locality with his parents
many years ago, and has since been a resident here. He was
a blacksmith by trade, but followed the occupation of a farmer as well.
About six years ago he purchased the farm where he and his family have
lived since and where he died. Mr. Stagner was a hard working
industrious man, who thought much of his home and family, and in this he
did all in his power to make his home a pleasant one, and to provide the
comforts of life for his family whom he dearly loved. Failing
health for the past few years compelled him to relax his activities somewhat,
yet he kept about and did what he could for his home. He was
strictly honest, and honorable, and greatly respected by all who had the
pleasure of his acquaintance. He was of that sterling character that
means so much to a community and therefore will be greatly missed by all.
He was married in 1891 to Miss Mary Reinhart, who survives him with three
children: Flossie, Ray and Annie, who are all at home.
Also two brothers, Fred of Rome, and William of Blossvale, and one sister,
Mrs. Emma Seifert, of Verona. His funeral was largely attended
this afternoon at 1 o’clock from his late home, conducted by Rev. George
Dermott, pastor of the M. E. Church at Taberg. Interment was
made in the family plot at McConnellsville.
