Ross Wagoner was also known as; Roscoe and Roscal.
Ross Wagoner was a farmer and a family story relates that he was one of the first in Carroll County, Indiana, to change from using horses to a tractor. It was, of course, quite a site to behold when he first plowed with his new fangled gadget and all of his neighbors gathered to observe the 'future'. As Ross steered his new tractor down the field for the first pass and approached the fence he got flustered with everyone watching and the unfamiliar controls. The fence got closer and closer and he just couldn't remember what to do. As the tractor and plow went through the fence row, his neighbors could hear him yelling at the top of his voice, "Whoa... Whoa... Whoa!!!" Despite the fact that the tractor would not take commands like his horses, he kept on farming with it and was quite successful.
When Ross was 58 years old: April 12, 1942, "Mr. and Mrs. Ross Wagoner have moved from their farm northeast of the city to the Bessie Wray property in Camden for future residence."
Ross lived for: 80 years and 0 months.
