This is not my line. 1870 Kansas, Leavenworth, High Prairie: Wager, Sabastine, 47, M, W, Farmer, Wurtenburg (Germany) Agate, 40, F, W, Keeping House, France Anestine, 16, F, W, Housekeeper, France Caroline, 11, F, W, At home, Missouri Josephine, 9, F, W, Kansas Jacob, 7, M, W, Kansas Louie, 4, M, W, Kansas Mary, 2, M, W, Kansas In 1910, she is listed as Agate, and son Louis is living with her. Lists her parents as being born in France. Says she had 7 children, 4 of which are still living as of 1910. 1870 shows 6 of the 7 children. She's also widowed by 1910. 1860 Kansas, Leavenworth, Leavenworth Sabestial Wager, 37, M, Stone Mason, Wurtenburg Augusta, 30, F, France Ernestine, 5, F, France Ernest, 4, M, France Catherine, 2, F, Missouri Ernest must one of the ones who died as he is not there in 1870. Having great grandparents who were born in Germany and moved here, I can tell you that the accent can be very thick and hard to understand, especially when they first come over, my great grandmother never lost her accent, and it was still quite thick when she died in 1993, even though she came over here in 1931! Sabastine is listed in the KS directories for 1890, 1892, and 1893, in 1900 Agatha is widowed, Louis lives with her, and she claims she had 6 children here, 4 of whom have died, the six is probably wrong. Can't find them in 1880, yet.........time to go to work, I'll look more for you later. Hope this helps you.

Surnames: Meyer/Wager Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Fm.2ADE/376 Message Board Post: Trying to find a Meyer family who lived in Kansas City, MO. Mother was Caroline b. 1859 (Carrie) Wager Meyer. She grew up and probably married in Leavenworth Kansas. Her children were Emos, Charles, and Al. Charles ran a store maybe a drug store on Independance Blvd. There may have been other children Joseph and Eugene. I do not know their father's name but believe that he may have been born in France. Caroline had sisters, Josephine Wager Anwander, and Ernestine Wager Chapman and one brother Louis Wager who never married. Josephine and Louis are buried in St. Mary's Cemetery. If you know anything about this family please reply. ==== KSLEAVEN Mailing List ==== NOTICE: Posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc. (in other words - spam) is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal.
