G. W. Wagner, blacksmith, was born in Crawford County, Ark., December 29, 1851, and is the third of nine children born to his parents, A. J. and Frances Night Wagner, both natives of Franklin County, Tenn., where they lived for a number of years and then moved to Crawford County, Ark. The father died in 1886 and the mother in 1885. The former was a farmer by occupation, but also carried on the blacksmith business in connection with his farming interests. His son, G. W. Wagner, assisted his father on the farm and in the shop, thus early in life learning the blacksmith trade. In 1867 he immigrated with his parents to Franklin County, Ark., and here he has since resided.

He was married in 1875 to Miss Mary J. Knight, who was born in Franklin County, Tenn., July 22, 1851. This union resulted in the birth of three children: Oscner, Wallace and Olen.

Mr. Wagner is the owner of a house and five acres of land in the village of Mulberry, and aside from this has fifty-five acres of excellent land, all the result of his own industry and good management. He is a Democrat in his political views, and a member of Arkansas Lodge No. 61, I. O. O. F.
