    Notes:

    Still alive in 1880 Census - Death date was showing as 4/18/1864 - must be 1884; from June 6/25/2007:

    When I found out via a postcard German town might be Laichingen I wrote
    to the Evang. Church and got page of info.

    Wagner Johannes Georg b. 27 July 1828 Seissen, Baden-Württemberg, Ger.
    Father: Johannes Georg, Seissen, Wurt.,Ger.
    Mother: Elisabetha Mutchler -Seissen, Wurt., Ger.

    2)Rosina/Rose d.12 July 1909 Burial: Elmlawn Cemetery, Married: 12
    Nov.1881 Eugene Elsasser on Census & cemetery info.

    6)Frederick John Wagner - burial stone says Frederick. I never could
    find Frances. She probably remarried.

    7)Chistuff/Christopher John Wagner b.1 Mar.1874 d.31 May 1945 Bachelor.
    Move to Ca in 1910. I have the cemetery info.

    Rosina Wagner, Barbara McGahey, Frederick Wagner all buried on same lot.
    David McGahey is buried in Canada.

    B) I have be looking for the birth of Jungs for about 50 years. The
    original church built about 1867 burned and was destroyed. The women who
    kept the records died and no body knows what happened to them.

    Lizzie Wagner is married to William Walker. She died 20 June 1895, age
    about 38. I have checked the Jungs I sent you Sat. and I am beginning to
    think records are not part of the Mormon records and the German man went
    to the place in Bavaria where such records are kept.

    Johannes + BAUM, Rosina. Rosina (daughter of BAUM, Georg Friedrich and MACK, Margaretha) was born on 22 Jan 1832 in Laichingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany; died on 18 Oct 1912 in Niagara Falls, Niagara County, NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 11.  BAUM, Rosina was born on 22 Jan 1832 in Laichingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany (daughter of BAUM, Georg Friedrich and MACK, Margaretha); died on 18 Oct 1912 in Niagara Falls, Niagara County, NY.

    Notes:

    Listed as Mary Merringer in 1910 census living with daughter, Barbara. Shows immigration in 1852.
    1900 Census lists Rosina Merringer with husband Michael - shows married 46 years and had 10 children with 2 children living. This would put her original marriage at 1854 which would mean she married Johannes Wagner in the United States. Also in 1900 shows her immigration date as 1853.
