DEATH MP A DISTlNGUISnBU ;' " VllAltLtSSiTONIAN.i ,,..-j,; The Charleston papers have obitua ries of Gen. Wagener, who died at J Walhalla, S. C, on Sunday ' rooming last,11 : ,. ; ; "rV . John A. Wagoner was born in the village of Severn, .near Bremcrhaven,: in the kiugdomof llanovcryiu 1810, and came to this country when a mere youih,: arriving in New York in 1831. lie settled . in :.: Charleston shortly after, lie embarked in busi- ness, and soon succeeded well, owing to his; capacity andnergy. From the first he showed no ordinary de gree of public spirit. Ju 1 838 he organ ized the German Firo Engine Compa ny, and 'became its fit .President, holding the office until. 1850. In 1841 he organized the congregation of the German Lutheran Church: He was Captain ,of . the. German Artillery at 0:16 time, resigning in 1881.. From 1350 until his death he was President of' the German Fire Insurance Com- paay. ' At' the breaking out of the war he warmly espoused the cause of his adopted : land, and entered the service of the State. Promotion was rapid; first Major, then Lieutenant Colonel, then Colonel of. Artillery. In the -latter rank he commanded the artillery at the battle of, lurt.W alker. His leiHiire wa employed in Bcicti ' fic pursuits. I At the close of the war i he wa -elected to . the IiPgislalure, ' appoinii-d ', ,.lriadier General of the Aluitia, and 'chosen Commissioner, of ImmTsration.' lie, was the founder of. the village of Walhalla. In 1S7L Gen. Wagener was elected Mayor of Charleston, and was again a candidate in 1873 and in 1875, but was defeated, or at least counted out by the Republicauvre-? turning board. .He was a delegate to the St. Louis Convention and was chosen as a Tilden f Elector for. the State at large. .Geoj Wagener pro-- -jcvT.TTO-twofcm.UstQQ Zeitungy which paper ho afterward edited - - with ability. .. ; -;; 1 T:;J.;-:51;;:- In the , death of -Gen. i Wagener South Carolina undoubtedly sustains a considerable loss. . !
