Charles Wagner Dies From the Effects of Burns
Leaves a Large Family
Charles WAGNER, died at his home on North Center Street Sunday morning at 9:15, after suffered untold agony for a week from scalds and burns received when he was calking flues in the fire box of his engine when he was running his thrashing outfit at the home of Evan Willis on Monday of last week, The accident was caused by the melting and blowing out of a soft plug while Mr. Wagner was inside the fire box.
Although he was hurried to Clinton immediately following the accident, and every effort made by the physicians to save his life, the burns were so deep that there was practically no hope from the time of the injuries. Little could be done except to alleviate his suffering, parts of his body being literally cooked to the bone.
C. J. Wagner was born in Wilson township, DeWitt county, in 1865, being the son of Caroline and Henry J. WAGNER, and almost all of his life had been spent in the county in which he was born. Prior to coming to Clinton 15 years ago he had followed the occupation of farming, but since coming to the city had been following thrashing and corn shelling.
On November 23, 1894, he was united in marriage to Miss Cora LONG, at DeWitt, and to this union five children were born, who with the widow survive. The children are as follows: Mary, Blanche, John, Thomas and Charles, all residing at home. Deceased is also survived by four sisters, Mrs. Anna JONES, Mrs. Margaret QUEALY, and Mrs. Catherine EDWARDS, all of Los Angeles, Cal., and Mrs. D. S. SULLIVAN of this city. Also four brothers, Henry, of Clinton, and John, Frank and James of Wapella.
Funeral services were held from St. John's Catholic church in this city on Tuesday at 10 o'clock a.m., Mr. Wagner having been a member of that denomination since childhood. Rev. Father Hearn officiated, interment being in Woodlawn cemetery.
