Please help me find out who my grandfather was. Joseph Wagner owned a restaurant
in Mpls in 1905 (not in city directory). He married my grandmother there
on Oct. 12, 1905. Her name was Jennie/Genevieve Stearns. They built a houseboat
and sailed down the Mississippi in the spring of 1906. He died in Iowa shortly
afterwards. His obit tells me nothing of his German origin. I've gone to
Ft. Wayne, IN, searched ship records, written to the Mpls Court House for
naturalization records as well as to the Nat'l Archives. My only hope is
the unindexed 1905 census. If there is anyone who has access to this, please
let me know. Thank you!!
