Biography
John Wagner was born on 30 April 1862 in Chiboigan, Ozaukee, Wisconsin. He married Anna Marie Herberger on 19 November 1889 in St. Joseph's Catholic Church, 12th Street., Los Angeles, Califronia. He died on 14 April 1934 in City of Los Angeles, CA. He was buried on 17 April 1934 in Calgary Cemetary, City of Los Angeles, CA.
John Wagner had reference number 47. Was a unique man. Especially to the young people, poised on the
threshold of maturity, do I commend the life story of the late John Wagner, for in this transitory age of mental turmoil, deafening machinery, the clash of old deals and new, it stands out as a true American idyll, and example, and anchor and an inspiration from those about to plunge into the complexities of modern existence.** The story of John Wagner is a simple tale of success based upon abiding faith and sturdy singleness of purpose. Southwest Los Angeles, a metropolis within a metropolis, is substantial testimony of
his foresight and industry. St. Michael's Church and School was erected by him, his brother Michael and Michael
Merten's. John was born in Wisconsin and attended the Ozaukee County Schools. He was twenty-four when he came to California, with his fathers' (Michael Wagner) family in 1886. Three years later he married Anna Marie Herberger, of St. Cloud, MN, who had also come to California with her parents (Fred Herberger) in 1887. John's dad gave the young couple ninety acres as a wedding present and to this nucleus, he added 160 more acres in 1892. The ten acre
homestead at the southeast corner of Manchester and Western
Avenues and where his son Otto and wife Margaret (Rupp) built their first home is where I was born and raised. - Jack Wagner (Sr.) '93 **
