Martha E. Wagner (Osmond)

September 13, 1916 — January 25, 2012

Martha Wagner, died Wednesday, the 25th of January at the Plainview Hospital. She was born in 1916 to Swiss immigrants, Emil and Frieda Mueri. She grew up on a farm near Tilden and graduated from Tilden High School.

She married her high school sweetheart, Julius Wagner. Together they relocated to a farm near Plainview in the 1940’s and had one child, Jack. Julius died in 1997 and Martha remained on the family farm until her recent death at age 95.

During her 95 years of life, she lived in homes with no indoor plumbing or electricity, felt the awkwardness of being a family of German-speaking immigrants living in the United States during WWII, to finally living in the present age of the Internet.

Martha was a long time member of the Congregational United Church of Christ in Plainview, Nebraska, where she was active in many church events.

She is survived by her son, Jack and his wife, Joan; her Grandson, Chris Wagner, along with his wife Robin and their three daughters, Riley, Erin and Meagan, who reside near Plainview; and her Grandson Brian Wagner, his wife Melissa and their two children, Zachary and Katherine, who reside in Orlando, Florida.

Memorial services will be held on January 28th, at 11:00 a.m. at the Congregational United Church of Christ in Plainview, with the visitation beginning at 9:00 a.m..
