Here are my notes for William Henry, from his entry in my family tree file:
From Greg McNab:
William Henry Waggener, also a son of Margaret Whitaker, was born 6 August 1833 in Logan County, KY. He graduated Centre College, Danville, 1853, where he studied Merchandising. He married Rebecca Cooke of Harrodsburg, KY, 12 May 1857. The 1870 census lists his wife's name as Sarah. Rebecca Sarah? For many years, he must have lived in Frankfort, KY. I have found three children for them. Victor was born abt. 1858 in Lexington, Fayette County, KY. Lucien was born 1865, also in Lexington. Lucien, I gather, was a church minister and lived for quite a few years in Danville. He married Katherine Cutter Condit on 4 August 1915. Her parents were from Washington, KY. She was born 16 August 1878 and died in Ashland, KY in March, 1967. Lucien dies 26 November 1945 in Boyd County, KY. There was a third child named Bertie, a boy I think. He was born abt. 1868.

From The Frankfort Roundabout (Frankfort, Kentucky), Saturday November 19, 1898:
Death of a Retired Merchant
On Saturday Night last, at 9:30 o'clock, Mr. Wm. H. Waggener died at his rooms in the Capital Hotel, of acute heart trouble, aged 65 years.
Mr. Waggener was the son of the late Dr. A. C. Waggener. He was born at Russellville, Ky., on eh 6th of August, 1833. When a child he removed with his parents to Danville, where he spent his youth and young manhood. In June, 1854, he graduated from Centre College, and in January, 1855, entered into a partnership with his brother Mr. J. L. Waggener, in the dry goods business.
Owing to the frequent raids made upon the City of Danville, during the war, the Waggener brothers removed to this city in December, 1863, and opened up in the storeroom now occupied by Dr. S. B. Holmes as a drug store, at the corner of M?ai and St. Clair streets.
They were very successful and popular as merchants, and continued in the business until November, 1888, removing, in the meantime, to the store now occupied by Johnson & Hoge, which they had erected especially for the purpose.
Owing to delicate health upon the part of the members of the firm, they closed out their business as above stated, and retired to enjoy the competence which they had earned.
Mr. Waggener was married in early life to Miss Mary Cooke, of Harrodsburg, by whom he had three sons, Victor, Lucien and Bertie. Bertie died when a small child, but Victor died from the result of an accident, when just budding into young manhood. Mrs. Waggener's health gave away and she soon followed her noble boy.
Of late years Mr. Waggener and his brother have spent the summer months in Atlantic City, N. J., and the winter at the Capital Hotel in this city.
For a long time Mr. Waggener has suffered from some heart trouble, but did not take to his bed until a few days before the end.
His son, Mr. J. Lucien Waggener, Jr., who is a professor in a college in Iowa, reached here, in response to a telegram, a few hours before his father's death.
Mr. Waggener received every attention which his devoted brother (and we never knew two brothers more devoted to each other), the best of physicians and other friends could render, but nothing could stay the march of the destroyer.
He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of this city. The funeral services were conducted from that Church on Monday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, by his pastor, Rev. J. McClusky Blayney, D. D., and the remains were laid away in our cemetery by the side of his wife and sons.
He leaves, besides his son (Prof. Waggener), two brothers, Mr. J. L. Waggener, of this city, Mr. D. Bell Waggener, of Philadelphia, and one sister, Mrs. W. B. Patton, of Chicago, Ill.
The sympathy of a large circle of friends and acquaintances is extended to those so sorely bereaved.
