  Obituary- Wagner, Harmon The death of Mr. Hiram Wagner last Sunday morning was more than usually sad and heart rending to his friends and relatives on account of the terrible particulars that caused the loss of his life. Mr. Wagner lived just across the Rossville ferry about four miles from this city and on last Saturday morning was engaged with the assistance of a hired man in drilling a well on his farm. A blast had been put in and all attempts to light the fuse were unsuccessful. A bunch of light de shavings on being thrown in immediately went out, and a lantern on being lowered was similarly extinguished. Mr. Wagner then by means of the rocky wall descended to the bottom of the well for the purpose of ascertaining the trouble. He had been down only a few seconds before he was overpowered by the dampness in the well and was unable to climb out as he had entered. Mr. Wagner’s assistant threw him a rope and attempted to pull him out, but his weight was too great and he was obliged to leave him and run to the field for help. Before assistance arrived, Mr. Wagner fell forward to the bottom of the well and it was some little time before he could be rescued. Upon reaching the top of the ground he was immediately thrown into convulsions, remaining in this condition until his death Sunday morning. Mr. Wagner was a young man of perhaps 28 years of age and leaves a wife and one baby to mourn his untimely death. [From The Carpenters Kansas Lyre, Rossville, November 7, 1884]
