OBITUARY:
OREGON PIONEER DEAD.
One of Oregon's most highly respected and well known citizens has passed away, and another place in the ranks of the old pioneers is vacant. I. M. Wagner died at the home of his nephew, Mat Woods, in Turner, yesterday, April 3, 1905, at 10:30 o'clock a. m. of a complication of disease.

They crossed the plains in 1856, and settled in California for a short time, when they moved to Southern Oregon, and finally came to Salem, where they settled on a farm seven miles south of this city, on the Jefferson road, which is an old land mark in this county. It has been his home until the time of his death. His wife preceded him two years ago. Ten children were born to them, five boys and five girls, all of whom are living, and are as follows: Mrs. Esther Neal, Jefferson; Phillip Wagner, Garfield; Mrs. C. L. Glenn, Spokane; Mrs. Monroe Nye, Mrs. Chas. Bruce, Alonzo Wagner, of Portland; Adolphus Wagner and Perry Wagner, of Tillamook county, Mat Wagner and Mrs. D. F. Jerman, of Salem.
He also leaves numerous other relatives. Mr. Wagner had just returned a week ago from a trip East, where he went last October, and all during his visit he was ailing, and upon his arrival home he grew rapidly worse, and yesterday morning passed to his final resting place. he was a an of high moral standing, loved and respected by all who knew him. He had a pleasant word for everyone, and his familiar figure will be missed in this city. He was a kind and indulgent father, and his children are sorrow-stricken over his death. The funeral will be held tomorrow at 10 o'clock, at Turner, and the interment will be held at the Odd Fellows' cemetery, in this city, where appropriate services will be held.
