1844 HIST: OR-The Dalles: Reminiscences of Hon John Minto, Pioneer of 1844 V2 1901 pg 242: Mrs James McAllister & 4 children part of a boatload leaving The Dalles 26 Dec 1844 on Columbia River to north bank 29 Dec, aft terrible storm in the narrow gorge of Cape Horn:
"We left The Dalles 26 Dec with the running gear of 3 wagons in our boat and 17 persons, young & old, on top of that, leaving also our Indian oarsmen... We reached & passed the cascades in safety...We met with no unusual difficulty until some distance below the rapids. But on 29th, as we entered the narrow gorge of Cape Horn from the east, a storm of wind entered from the west. It was the most awful effect of wind that I have ever seen... Clark at the steering oar...decided to land on the north bank rather than on a sand pit near us on the south side. This made it necessary to cross the river in front of the storm...accelerating our speed. The first blow received was the most violent-we crossed rvr right on crest of its turmoil...swallowed up completely frm sight of some Indians in a canoe who hugged the south shore & who believed us sunk, and so reported to our friends at Linnton.
A Mrs James McAlister with her 4 children was among those in the bateau (her husband engaged with care of their property;the family had given Clark a temporary home and to assist whom was his chief object in being there) She sat mute under the onset of the storm, with her little ones close to her; she was the first to get out onto the bank, & her children were passed to her. After receiving the hand of the last & youngest she turned her face to Clark & sd "Dan Clark, I have been your good friend; but you have just put my children in great danger without reason and I never wish to speak to you again." Her face was bloodless with the intensity of her emotions, & Clark, naturally ruddy, was also as white as he could be.
It is but just to give his reason for his decision to reach the north shore: From this side a trail led to Vancouver, and had we been stormbound long, some of us could have gone to the fort for relief and not eaten boiled buffalo hide for soup as a group had done in 1843. The wind fell & the rain came but we succeeded by breaking up a wood rat's nest of huge size in starting a good fire. During the night the weather turned colder & a few inches of soft snow covered us at daylight. Against the chinook wind we made the Hudson's Bay Co's sawmill. There a "canny Scot" gave us shelter...after supper, after hearing our previous night's experience, he returned with a pail of nice white turnips bidding the party to "Help yersel's". Mrs McAlister thanked him & helped the children all around...this was a homely treat but was greatly enjoyed.
29 Dec: On entering mouth of Willamette, we found brig Chenamus and asked to come aboard by a man named Cushing. We were treated to best supper and given the officer's quarters for women & children.
30 Dec: Landed on west bank of Willamette at Linnton, which was a village of tents, blacksmith shop, home & few outbuildings..."

Henry Grow, son of Henry and Mary Riter Grow of Philadelphia PA, born 1 Oct 1817 at Norristown, near Philadelphia, and came to Utah 1 Oct 1851, with James Cummings company.
He married Mary Moyer in 1834, daughter of Charles and Elizabeth Moyer, born 1818.

1817-1891 HIST: LDS Biographical Encyclopedia, by Andrew Jensen, Vol 3, p 94 (paragraphed by Pam Wagner):

Grow, Henry, a prominent Elder in the Church, was bn Oct 1 1817, at Philadelphia PA, the son of Henry Grow and Mary Riter. His great grandfather, Frederick Grow, and his wife emigrated from Germany to Pennsylvania before the war of the revolution, took up a large tract of land and made it into five farms of 60 acres each, dividing the same among his 5 children, 4 sons and 1 daughter. This great grandfather was in the war of the revolution.
Henry Grow was the youngest of 7 children, 5 girls and 2 sons. He learned the trade of a mill-wright and bridgebuilder, after which he superintended the bridges, culverts, etc., on the Norristown and Germantown railroads, both in construction and repairing the works.
Becoming a convert to "Mormonism," he was baptized in the Delaware river, Philadelphia, in May, 1842, by Wm Morton. He emigrated to Nauvoo, Ill., in 1843, where he worked on the Nauvoo Temple until it was finished. He passed through all the troubles of those days and was one of the members of the Nauvoo Legion. He was one of the remnants that remained at Nauvoo after the departure of the Twelve, with the advance companies of the Saints for the West, but in April 1846, before the vanguard of the pioneers had got barely on their journey, the anti-Mormons began to rise and the mob outrages on the Saints were terrible.
Henry Grow was in the famous battle of Nauvoo. While this battle was going on, he heard a voice one night distinctly say: "Get up and get out of here in the morning." He arose in the morning, hitched a yoke of cattle to his wagon, put in utensils, bedding and tent, leaving everything in the house, got his wife and 3 children in the wagon, and had moved about 50 yards from his house when the mob fired a 12-pound ball through the house,which was a frame building. After the entrance of the mob into Nauvoo he crossed over to Montrose, Iowa, where he had his family in a tent during the battle.
Starting on his journey westward, he traveled alone with his family across the prairies of Iowa to Winter Quarters and then went to Kimball's 6 miles above, where he built himself a house and settle for a year, but in the fall of 1847, after the departure of the pioneer companies, he moved with his family into Missouri, locating on the Little Platte, 20 miles above Weston, where many of the old Missouri mobocrats dwelt. There he kept the saw and grist mill, called Lester's mill, in repair and did other carpenter work. In the spring of 1851 he and his family again came up the Missouri River, bound for the Valley; he was organized in Capt James Cumming's hundred, Alfred Cordon's 50 and Kishop Kesler's 10. Orson Pratt commanded the other 50. On account of high water, the Sweetwater, below Independence Rock, the company was surrounded by a war party of Cheyennes and had a narrow escape from being destroyed by the savages. The next day, above Independence Rock, they met a 1000 Snake Indian warriors waiting for the Cheyennes.
Henry Grow arrived in Great Salt Lake City on his birthday, Oct 1 1851, and located at Mound Fort, north of Ogden. In 1852 he was called to Salt Lake City by President Young to work for him in building mills, bridges, etc. In 1853 he built the first suspension bridge built in Utah across the Weber river. In 1854 he went to work at Sugar House to build the sugar works under Bishop Fred Kesler, and in 1855 he assisted in building the 2 saw mills in Big Cottonwood canyon, known as A and B. In 1856 he moved a saw mill from Cottonwood to the forks of City crek, 7 miles above Salt Lake City, for Pres Brigham Young, and the same fall he went up Big Cottonwood again and framed and put up Mill D, sawed 2 logs and left Dec 17, 1856, with 5 men on 7 feet of snow with snowshoes. It took them 2 days to get out of the snow at the risk of their lives. In 1857 Elder Grow went up and Mill E, at the head of Big Cottonwood canyon, near Silver Lake; in 1858 he went to Provo and put up temporary buildings at the time of the move; he also built the suspension bridge over the Provo river. In 1859 he tore the works out of the old grist mill at the mouth of Canyon Crekks and placed the cotton and woolen machinery in the mill for Pres. Brigham Young. This was the first machinery of the kind put up in Utah, and this machinery was afterwards taken down to St George. In 1861 he built a suspension lattice bridge across the Jordan river. At the time of putting up the theatre he built a water wheel on the water ditch opposite Dr Sprague's house to hoist all the rock and timbers for the theatre. He also made the heavy beams and principal rafters out of plank for the work and fitted up the footlights.
During the following years he did a great deal of mill work for Pres Young at different places. In 1863 the Pres called on him in regard to the construction of the big tabernacle in Salt Lake City. Asked him if he could construct a large bowery after the same structural work as the Jordan bridge, drawing the outline on the ground with his umbrella, and he also asked Br Grow how large he could build it. Br Grow replied, "150 ft wide andas long as you want it." Then they figured out the design and the dimensions of the contemplated building and Br Grow built the Tabernacle according to the directions given him by Pres Young; the building was finished in 1867.
In 1868 the President called on Br Grow to put up the ZCMI building; the plan was drawn by Obed Taylor and the work of construction was superintended by Henry Grow throughout. From that time till the spring of 1876 he had charge of all the carpentry work on the Temple Block.
In 1876-77 he filled a mission to the US, laboring principally in Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland, and visited all his relatives and the old family homestead. On his return from that mission he was engaged in tearing down the Old Tabernacle and erecting the Assembly Hall, superintending the practical work under Architect Obed Taylor. It was completed in 1879. Later Elder Grow built 2 block houses for Pres John Taylor and supertended all the buildings and carpentry work for the Church, including the scaffolding and hoisting apparatus for the Temple.
In 1880 he was called by Pres Taylor to go east to look at improvements of paper mills for the purpose of putting up a new paper mill at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon. After visiting the principal cities in the east, he returned home and drafted and commenced the building of the new Deseret Paper Mill at the mouth of Big Cottonwood canyon. This paper mill was completed and put in running order in 1883.
Br Grow became known as a skilful mechanic and an experienced practical builder and was well liked by all the hands who worked under his superintendency; among all his works the roof of the Big Tabernacle in Salt Lake City is the most unique and stupendous of his works.
Soon after he joined the Church Elder Grow was ordained to the Priesthood; he was ordained a Seventy in 1844, at Nauvoo, Ill., and for many years he acted as one of the presidents of the 30th Quorum of Seventy and was a member of the Nineteenth Ward, Salt Lake City. He was also active in military affairs, and served as a member of the Salt Lake City council from 1870 to 1876. In the East he married 2 wives, Mary Moyer, who bore him 6 children and Ann Elliott, who has borned him 7 children. After arriving in Utah he married Julia Veach, who bore him 14 children. Thus he became the father of 27 children. Br Grow died Nov 4, 1891, in Salt Lake City, as a highly respected citizen and a faithful member of the Church.

1817-1891 HIST: Biography of Henry Grow, dictated to Elaine Poulter by her grandfather, Wm Moyer Grow, as a school project in 1928, spellins is as was dictated:

Henery Grow, the Superintendent of the Temple Block, was born in Noristown, Phil,Penn, Oct 1, 1817. His parents were Henery Grow and Mary Riter. His grandparents emigrated from Germany to Penn. before the War of the Revolution and took up a large tract of land. He made it into five farms of 60 acres and gave it to his five children, 4 sons and 1 daughter. The estate still remains in the family.
Frederick Grow was in the Revolutionary War. The British army camped within a mile of his farm house. Henery Grow, the subject of this sketch, was the youngest of 7 children, 5 daughters and 2 sons, John Wood and Henery. He served his apprenticeship as a carpenter and joiner of his native state Penn. Later he superintended all the bridges, culverts, etc. on the Norristown and Germantown Railroads, both in contracting and repairing the work, under the direction of Geo. G Whitmere, President of the road and Ex Mayor of Phil. Henery Grow was baptized in the Delaware River, Phil. in 1842 by Wm Morton. He emigrated to Nauvoo in March 1843, reached Nauvoo May 15. His first mark there was building a barn for Patriarch Hyrman Smith, then worked on Nauvoo Temple till it was completed. Here they received the endownence. He passed through the trials of those days with the other LDS. He served as a member of the Nauvoo Legion. He was one of the five to remain behind after the departure of the Twelve with the advanced companies of the Saints to the Rocky Mountains. The covenant made between the four comissioners of the state of Ill. namely Gen. Worden of the State Militia, Senator Douglas, W.B. Warren and J McDanyal and the Mormon Apostals gave ample time for the removal of the saints from Nauvoo, but in April, before the Pioneers had scarcely started on their journy west, the anti-Mormons began their horrid outrages on the saints, notwithstanding the fact they were living up to their part of the contract , and W.B. Warren commanding the Ill. volunteers said in a report to Queery Whig on May 20, 1846, "are leaving with all possible haste. during the week 400 teams and 1350 souls have gone and others are preparing to leave as fast as possible. Not withstanding this statement from their commander of the volunteers, a mob marched upon the doomed city Sep 19, 1846 and began the battle of Nauvoo, which lasted 3 days, in which Henery Grow fought to protect his people, under the command of Gen. D H Wells of Col. Butler. The mob of 200 well armed men and 13 pieces of artillery, camped about one block in front of Grows house. The 1st night they were camped there, while Grow was lying on his bed, he heard a voice distinctly say, "Get out of here in the morning." He arose, hitched up a yoke of oxen to his wagon, put in some bedding, a tent and utensels and a few things, leaving all his other earthly possessions, took his wife and 3 children and left. He had gone about 50 yds. from the house when the mob fired a 12 lb. cannon ball at the house. They crossed the River to Montrose, Iowa, where they family remained in the tent during the battle. From the starting point toward the Rockies he traveled alone with his family to Winter Quarters arriving late in October.
He built a log cabin in Winter Quarters, then went to Kimbals 6 miles above where he built himself a house and settled for a year, but in the fall of 1847, after the departure of the pioneer companies, he moved with hs family into Missouri on the Little Platt 20 miles above Weston, where lived many of the Mobocrats. While here he kept the Saw and grist mill in repair, and other carpenter work for 2 years for Col. Estel, who later sold out to Halladay and Warner, well known merchants in early history of Salt Lake City. Grow worked with them till spring in 1851 when they made another start toward the Valleys of the Mountains. They were organized in Cap. James Curmings hundred, Alfred Gardens 50, and Bishop Keslers 10.
On account of high water the companies headed the Horn river, and came on to the Pratt below Laramie on the sweetwater below Independance Rock, here they were surrounded by a war party of Cheyennes.
Keslers 10 became seperated from the other 10. They succeeded in getting a message to Capt Cardon who was camped with the remainder of his 50 at Independence Rock, and sent relief to bring them together again. Next day, they met 7,000 Ssnake Warriors waitin for the Sheyennes. Henery Grow arrived in Salt Lake on his birthday Oct 1, 1851. He immediately went to work, working 1 year on the Public Works under Miles Ronney. He next worked on the old Tabernacle where the Assembly Hall now stands, also building a saw mill, as the winter was mild. In 1853 he built the 1at suspension bridge in Utah across the Ogden river for Jonathan Browning. 1854 he began work at Sugar house to build the Sugar Works under Bp. Kesler.
1855 he built the Sawmills A and B in Big Cottonwood.
In 1856 he moved a Saw mill, from Chases Mill in the Big Field up City Creek 7 miles for Pres. Brigham Young. The same fall,[he] went up to Big Cottonwood, fraimed and put put up a mill D, sawed same logs and left Dec 17 in company with 5 other men on snow shoes for home. It took them 2 days to get through as the snow was deep. They had many narrow escapes.
1857 he built Mill E at the head of Canion near Silver Lake.
1858 he went to Provo and put up the temperary buildings for the Moore and also the suspension bridge across the Provo river.
1858 he tore works out of the old grist mill, at the mouth of Canion Creek and placed the cotton and woolen machinery in the mill by request of Brigham Young. Thie was the first machinery of the kind in Utah. It was later taken to St. George.
1861 he build suspentian (Lattices) bridges across the Weber and Jordan Rivers which were still in use 35 and 40 years after. Then he build the first Salt Lake Theatre (which is still good and being used). He put up a water wheel in the ditch, by this the rock and timber was hosted to guild this theater. He also made the heavy beams and principle rafters, out of plank for the building and fitted up the foot lights.
In 1863 & 4 he done a great deel of mill work, as the request of Pres Brigham Young, at different places. and next year Pres Young called on him about the contruction of the SL Tabernacle. He designed the shape, planned and put it up and finished it in 1867. It is the largest dome shaped building west of Chicago. The outside dimensions of this Tabernackle are: length 250 ft., width 105. Inside it measures 232 ft by 132 height to ceiling 65 ft. The roof rests on 44 colums averaging 20 ft high and is self supporting. The gallery extending around the building is 18 ft wide. The seating capasity is 9,000.
1868 Pres. Young called on him to build the ZCMI (a large store in Salt Lake). The plan was drawn by O Taylor and superintended by Grow. From this time till spring of 1876, he had charge of the carpenter work on the Temple Block. Then he went to build the ware house attached to the ZCMI.
At the Oct. conference 1876 he was called to gon on a mission to preside over the Penn, Delaware, Maryland Conferences and left Salt Lake Nov 1, 1876. During this mission he visited the old homestead and relatives. He left Phil. for Salt Lake June 12,1877 and on his return was immediately engaged to tear down the old Tabernacle and build the Asembly Hall (which is used now), superintending the work. O Taylor was the architect. The Hall was completed in fall of 1878. He built 2 houses for Pres. Taylor and superintended the carpentry for the Church including the Scafolding and hoisting apparatis for the Temple.
1880 he was called by Pres Taylor to go east to look improvements of Paper Mills, with the view of putting up a paper mill a the mouth of the Big Cottonwood which was completed 1883.

Our Pioneer Heritage, V 4, pg 498: John Garner was bn Davidson Co, NC-May 1820, son of David and Elizabeth Rawson Garner. When still a young man he journeyed to Hancock Co Ill, where he worked on a farm. Maryann Olive (bn 8 Oct 1826-Washington Co IL), 1st child of Horace Strong Rawson, became his wife 16 Jan 1845. In 1846 they went with other Saints to Council Bluffs, where 2 children, Cyrinda and Rebecca, dd of diptheria. From there they continued their journey westward, arriving in SL Valley in 1849.

NOTES: JOHN GARNER, from the Daily Courier, San Bernardino, California, pg 20:
Pioneer John Garner expressed a willingness to close his eyes on the scene of this world and trust for his reward in Heaven. With patience, he bore his illness and was conscious until the last. When the last hour was near, he called his children to his bedside and with a Father's admonition, shook hands and bid them all an affectionate farewell.
While he disliked to leave them, he stated that he wanted to see his mother, also his wife. He was prepared to go and by an unfaltering trust, approached the grave like one that draws the drapery of his couch about him and
lies down to sleep in pleasant dreams.
Pioneer John Garner was born in Davidson Co, NC May 1 1820 and died at his home in Newport, LA Co, Cal, 26 Feb 1889, lacking 2 months of reaching his 70th birthday.
His father's name was David Garner, who died in Harrison Co, Iowa at the remarkable age of 105 yrs. His mother's name was Elizabeth Jane Stephens, who died at the advanced age of 81 yrs at San Bernardino 3 April 1868.
David and Elizabeth Garner raised a large family-six sons: John, George, Henry, William, David and Phillip; 5 daughters: Nancy, Marinda, Sarah, Eliza and Elizabeth. All have died except William, who lives at Council Bluffs,
Iowa, Henry, who lives at Magnolia, Morrison Co, Iowa, David who lives at Ogden Utah, Sarah residing in Harrison Co, Iowa and Eliza in the Missouri Valley.
David came to visit his brother John during the last sickness and started on his return home on his 71st birthday.
Like many of our pioneers, John left his home in Davidson Co when a boy and went to Lima, on Bear Creek in Hancock Co, Illinois, where his brother George lived. Here, he worked on the farm and when of age, married Mary Ann Olive Rawson, who was born 8 Oct 1826, and removed to Nauvoo, where he lived about 5 yrs, when in 1846 he crossed the plains to Council Bluffs, where he remained 2 yrs and where his children, Syrinda and Rebecca died of dyptheria.
From here he continued his journey westward across the plains to SL Valley, where he arrived in 1849. On 1 Mar 1851, he started for San Bernardino with 3 wagon trains, in charge of David Seely, Capt Jefferson Hunt and Andrew Lytle, arriving at Sycamore Grove south of Martins old station near the Ca Jan Pass on 20 June 1851. A camp was made for the settlers to locate in the valley, afterwhich negotiations were made for the purchase of San Bernardino Ranch from the Lugo family, and thus began the settlement of San Barnardino Valley.
Among the numbers who came with these trains were pioneers Edward Dally, Sheldon Stoddard, James Colburn, Morly and Nathan Swatout and Jerry McElvain, the latter drove one of the ox teams for Mr Garner.
The western part of the valley was selected by Mr Garner as his home and Garner Grove will be ever remembered as the spot where some of the happiest 4th of July and May Day celebrations have been held.
Twice Mr Garner was elected supervisor of the county and discharged the duties of such office faithfully and honorably.
In 1874, after living in San Bernardino continually for 21 yrs, Mr Garner moved to Newport with his family, where he continued his favorite occupation of farming and stock raising.
His wife died December 1880 and was brought to San Bernardino where she was buried by the side of her mother in law. Since then, he has lived a quiet life and through his long sickness, suffered without a murmur, being attended by members of his family.
Mr Garner has been blessed with the following children: William, John, Mary Ann, Daniel George, Agnes, David and Sylvester, all residing in Newport except John who lives at Santa Ana.
At his request, his remains were brought to San Bernardino by his family, to be laid away by the side of his mother and kindred. The funeral was held on 28 Feb and largely attended. The pall bearers were selected from the
Pioner Society. A most appropriate and impressive sermon was delivered by Joseph Smith, Jr, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and spiritual advisor of Mr Garner.
He paid a merited tribute to the noble life and many virtues of the deceased; and when we shall enter that narrow valley through which he has passed before us and which leads to the judgment seat of God, may we be able to say through faith in good works and in the beautiful language of the hymn of the dying christian.
Dying but ever living and triumphant-the world recedes, it disappears. Heaven opens my eyes, my ears. With sound seraphic rings. Lend me your wings. I mount idly. Oh, grave, where is they victory. Oh death, where is thy sting. Copied by A M Rawson. 		Garner, John (I4749)

From Pat Holling, Oct 2003: From "Genealogical Research in England and Wales" Vol 1 pp 40-42 by David E Gardner & Frank Smith, Bookcraft Publishers, SLC Utah, 1956: "This is taken from the case relating to the family of Thomas L. Obray. He was bn in 1821 in Pembroke, Wales, and went to America in 1855 where he died in 1899. Among his records he left was the name of his sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Watkins, wife of Alfred Watkins. She was bn in 1820 in Pembroke, but after her marriage she went to reside in Liverpool, England, more than 250 miles away from her birthplace. He death was stated to have taken place in 1891 in the vicinity of Liverpool. Application to the Registrar General, Somerset House, London, traced the death as follows:
Registration District West Derby
Death in the subdistrict of Walton, Counties Bootle and Lancaster
Died 7 March 1892 at 66 Winslow Street, Walton
Elizabeth Watkins aged 74 years, wife of Alfred Watkins, a journeyman joiner.
Informant A. Watkins, same address.
“Then the 1891 census was requested from the Registrar General, and the information recieved as follows:
Head - William A. Watkins, married, age 41, Joiner, born Liverpool.
Mother - Elizabeth Watkins, married, age 73, born Pembroke Dock.
Sister - Eleanor Herschman, married, age 35, born Liverpool.
Niece - Lizzie Herschman, age 1, born Liverpool.
“If a family grave and tombstone existed, in which of the many cemeteries belonging to Liverpool would the record be?
A letter was written to the town clerk, Municipal Building, Liverpool, stating that Mrs. Elizabeth Watkins died at Winslow Street, Walton, West Derby (a suburb of Liverpool) and explaining that she was the sister of Thomas L. Obray and closely related to the family making the enquiry. A reply was received from the town clerk. He pointed out that the records of several cemeteries in the north-end of the city had been searched and that the records of the Kirkdale Cemetery, Longmoor Lane, Liverpool, had disclosed a list of interments in Grave No. 136, Section 1 of the Church of England Division as follows:
Date of Interment Name of Deceased Age
10 March 1892 Elizabeth Watkins 74 years
27 March 1894 Ellen Hurschman 12 months
7 March 1924 Wm. Alfred Johnson 27 years
(307 Hawthorn Rd. Bootle)
25 Nov. 1924 Wm. Alfred Watkins 75 years
12 Feb. 1929 Elizabeth Watkins 71 years
“Information was also given that the grave had been purchased by William Alfred Watkins of 66 Winslow Street and later transferred to Mary Ellen Hurschman.
“A request was then made to the same office, asking whether arrangements could be made to employ some person connected with the Cemeteries Department to inspect the grave lot No. 136, Section 1 of Kirkdale Cemetery, to find whether a tombstone still existed. This resulted in the cemetery superintendent’s having an examination of the grave made and reporting that a headstone had the following inscription:
In Loving Remembrance of Elizabeth Watkins who died on March 6, 1892 aged 77 years
John son of above who died on Nov. 12 1882 aged 40 years
Ellen Hurschman, granddaughter of the above who died March 24, 1894 aged 12 months
William Alfred Johnson (Private Royal Welsh Fusiliers) grandson of above,Who died Mar. 3 1924
from wounds received in France November 1917, aged 27 years.
William Alfred Watkins, son of above, who died Nov. 21, 1924 aged 75 years.
Elizabeth Watkins, daughter of above who died Feb. 7, 1929 aged 71 years.
“Note that information is recorded on the tombstone about a person who was not buried in the grave, namely John, a son who died in 1882. Note also that the record of this family is brought down to as late as 1929. Additional records of death were obtained from the Registrar General that identified those mentioned on the tombstone. An advertisement was placed in the newspaper circulating in Walton, Liverpool; this resulted in contacting close relatives of those mentioned, and these relatives were able to supply many details of the family group record and descent of this branch of the family. “

1880 HISTORY: A History of Jefferson City... and of Cole Couny, Illustrated, by James E Ford, The New Day Press, Printers-Publishers-Binders, Jefferson City MO, pg 165: "In 1880 George Wagner and Sons have enlarged their brewery to a capacity of 50 barrels a day, have provided refrigeration, buying a "patent ice machine," dug 2 deep wells and increased storage space. They bought the brewery in 1870 of Joe Gundelfinger who bought it of Joe Kessler. This was the first brewery in Jefferson City, Kessler starting it in 1845 with production of a barrel of beer a week. The Americans did not drink beer at this time, and the German population was small. He operated only a year or so before selling to Gundelfiner who eventually increased production to a capacity of 27 barrels a day. This is the business now owned by Moerschel Brothers."

MO Volksfreund: "Georg Wagner war am 13.Februar 1821 zu Schwarzach bei Culmbach im bayerischen Regierungs-bezirk Oberfranken geboren, stand somit zur Zeit Seines Ublebens im 75sten Lebens-jahre

1895 DEATH,BURIAL: Newspaper Bob has - MR GEORGE WAGNER, A PIONEER CITIZEN, DIED LAST NIGHT
At 7:50 o'clock last night Mr George Wagner, one of the pioneer settlers of this country, died at his home on West Ashley Street. Mr Wagner was 73 yrs of age, and has always been an active and healthy man, until the last few months his helath had been very poor and was ended by his death last night.
Mr. Wagner and family are probably better knownthan any other family in this section of the state, and all who knew the old gentleman can testify to his friendship for all.
He was born at Schwarzach, near the village of Kulmbach, Bavaria, Feb 13, 1821, and with his father and mother immigrated to the United States in 1840 and resided in Baltimore, MD, then Kentucky and Ohio, and settled in this county in 1844. His mother died in 1869 and his father 2 yrs later.
The subject of this biography was reared to farming in his native country, an occupation which he followed in the US until 1844, when he opened a small brewery in Liberty Township, not far from Taos. He was forced to adopt primitive methods in order to operate this enterprise successfully, such as carrying water by hand from a spring a considerable distance from the plant. After operating it for a number of years he purchased a brewery in Jefferson City, which he operated for a number of years, when he retired from the business.
For many years he had been a prominent stockholder in the First National Bank, being rated as one of the welathiest men in Cole County.
He served two years as Sheriff in this county and one term in the city council. For many years he had been an honored member of the Odd Fellows Lodge of this city.
Mr Wagner belonged to that sturdy class of German pioneers upon whose honesty and industry their children and other descendants can look back upon with pride. While a foreigner by birth, he was a firm believer in American institutions and customs. The public school never had a warmer advocate, and, in fact, he not only believed and practiced ideas consistent with a free country and a free people but impressed the same very emphatically on those who came in contact with him. There are hundreds of men yet living in Cole County who can testify to Mr Wagner's liberality and forbearance. It is doubtful if a man in Cole County intended a helping hand to people who needed help as often as Mr. Wagner. Those who knew him intimately will join in saying that a kinder-hearted and more generous man never lived, and he was one who never oppressed the poor nor permitted it to be done.
Mr Wagner has been married three times, but had no children by his first two wives. He married Miss Catherine Wulfrum of this city in 1848, who survies him, and of this mariage thirteen children were born, of which the following are living: Contrad, Lawrence, William W., Henry, Christopher, Louis M and Tressa, the latter now Mrs George Peasner. Christopher is a merchant at Sacramento, Cal., and Louis M is a prominent Joplin (Mo.) attorney. The remainder of the sons are well-known and prominent businessmen of this city.
The funeral will occur tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock from the German Lutheran Church. All the absent relatives of the family have been telegraphed for, and they will be here to attend the ceremonies.

1900 HISTORY: The Illustrated Sketch Book and Directory of Jefferson City and Cole County, Pg 374: "George Wagner, deceased, was born in Schwarzach, Bavaria, February 13, 1821, from which place, at the age of twenty, he immigrated to America, and settled on a farm in Cole County, near Osage City. His education was in the private schools of his native town in Bavaria.
In 1846 he built a brewery 2 1/2 miles west of Osage City, this being the first one established in the county. He continued to operate this enterprise successfully until 1870, when he removed to Jefferson City, purchased the plant (now owned by Moerschel Bros.) which he continued to operated until 1886, when he sold to his sons, Conrad and Lawrence, who in turn disposed of their interest to the present proprietors. He was elected Sheriff of Cole County on the Republican ticket in the Fall of 1878 and re-elected in 1880. He served as Alderman of Jefferson City a number of years. He as a member of the Evangelical Centrul Lutheran church and also of the IOOF.
He was united in marriage in the spring of 1849 to Anna R, daughter of Nicholas Wolfrum, a farmer near Osage City, she being a native of Bavaria. Mr Wagner wad the father of thirteen children, of whom seven are living: Conrad is a prominent and wealthy citizen of this city; Lawrence is in Colorado Springs; William W is the popular proprietor of the Monroe House; Henry is in the hotel business in St Louis; Christopher is in San Francisco, CA and Louis is in Denver CO; Katherine is the wife of George Peasner of this city. Mr Wagner was a prominent figure in Cole County and Jefferson City during his successful like, and established what is now on of the most prominent families in the county. His death occurred in this city September 24, 1895, at the age of 74 years. His wife survives him, and is now aged 71 years, making her home with her eldest son, Conrad."

HISTORY OF COLE, MONITEAU, MORGAN, BENTON, MILLER, MARIES & OSAGE COUNTIES MO, Vol 2, pg 900 [originally published by Goodspeed, Chicago in 1889]: "George Wagner, a brewer of Jefferson City, MO., is a native of Kulmbach, Bavaria, Germany, and was born February 13, 1821. His parents were Paul and Caroline (Seidel) Wagner, who immigrated to America in 1842, and settled in Cole County, Mo., where the father died in 1871, and the mother in 1869.
George Wagner was reared to farming in his native country, and at the age of nineteen, with his brother, Chris Wagner, came to the States, the former going direct to Jefferson City, Mo., whither his brother afterward located. Our subject first engaged in farming, which occupation he followed until 1842, when he opened a small brewery, and has since devoted his attention to that business. He married in Jefferson City, Catherine Wolfrum, who was born in Muenchberg, Bavaria, and came to America with her parents in 1841. This union has been blessed with six sons and one daughter, viz: Conrad, Lawrence, William W., Henry, Christopher, Louis and Thresa, the latter the wife of George Piesner of Omaha, Nebraska. Conrad and Lawrence are partners in the brewery, and constitute the firm of C & L Wagner. William Wagner is the proprietor of the Monroe House of Jefferson City. Henry is in the saloon business; Christopher is in the mercantile business in Sacramento CA, and Louis M. is a leading lawyer in Jefferson City. Mr Wagner is a stockholder of the First National Bank, and is quite a prominent man in business circles in Jefferson City. He was formerly quite extensively engaged in farming. He served two terms as sheriff, having been elected on the Republican ticket, and served one term in the city council. During the war he did active and honorable duty in the Home Guards of the State, and he is an Odd Fellow of many years standing. The family worship at the Lutheran church." 		Wagner, Georg (I20)
