Note 1: Karen Ellison, a descendant of William Wagner, researched his death and obtained a copy of his death certificate from Little Rock. He died at age 77 on 12 July 1925. He was born in Illinois and was a retired sawmill owner. Does anyone know of a connection between William & Almira (Hughes) Wagner and Harry A. & Emily Wagner, two couples buried at this cemetery?
