  Magdalena Unger, "is married to Jonas Wagner, a shoemaker. They reside at Floradale, Ontario, and have seven children". Eby, Ezra E. (1895). A biographical history of Waterloo township and other townships of the county: being a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character. Berlin [Kitchener, Ont.]: [s.n.]. ______________________________ Local News: Died. - Suddenly while attending service in St. Paul's Lutheran Church, at Berlin, last Sunday forenoon, Mrs. Wagner, widow of the late Jonas Wagner of Floradale. Her remains were brought to Floradale yesterday and will there be interred in the Lutheran cemetery. Deceased was one of the oldest residents of Floradale, having lived there until about a year ago when she removed to Berlin where one of her daughters, Mrs. C. H. Doerr resides. Elmira Signet 26 Mar. 1903 p. 1, col. 3 __________________________ Dies in Church The fourth sudden Death in Berlin since New Year's The widow Magdalena Wagner died a sudden death on Sunday morning in St. Paul's Lutheran Church here. The elderly lady had not been healthy for a long time, but decided to go to church again because of the lovely weather. It was her last walk. She had scarcely sat down in the church, when she suddenly collapsed, and had to be carried into the sacristy, helpless. Dr. G.H. Bowlby was summoned, but he discovered that death had already occurred, as a result of a heart attack. The body was transported by ambulance to the residence of the deceased on Wellington Street. Burial took place on Wednesday in Floradale after a funeral service at 9 a.m. in St. Paul's Church here. The deceased was born near Strassburg in 1836, married Heinrich Wager in 1856 (he died five years ago). They settled in Floradale, and approximately a year ago, she came to Berlin. Six children survive the deceased, namely - John, in Grafton, N.D.; Heinrich and Mrs. C.H. Miff in Berlin; Mrs. C.H. Heimbach in Ayr; Mrs. R. Tanner in Guelph; and Mrs. G. Lackner in Floradale. This is the fourth sudden death in Berlin since New Year's. The three previous ones were: the teacher, Miss Woods; Heinrich Knell, Jr.; and George Wettlaufer.
