    Wagner Cemetery Marker Photos

    Most burials date from the 1890s - early 1940s. There are two sections to the cemetery-a fenced section (Wagner & Ward family) in the woods, and an unfenced section in the pasture adjacent, with burials from the church and community. Half of the fence has been destroyed, and all of the stones have been toppled by cattle. Several stones are broken. It is very difficult to read any of the markers. This is an endangered cemetery.
