• Notes

  A marker at St. Matthew's Cemetery, Upper LaHave (Rhodes Corner) reads: Wagner Josiah A 23 Apr 1863 - 1886 lost at sea; wife Alice T Randall 23 Mar 1868 - 10 Jun 1957; son Josiah H 24 Jun 1886 - 3 Nov 1900 lost at sea and here is an entry on the Lunenburg Fisherman's Memorial: WAGNER, Josiah H.1900, Nov 3 "lost at sea" Lunenburg Co. age 14; Upper LaHave cemetery.; son of Josiah A. But this same Josiah H. WAGNER appears in the 1901 Census and on 12 Feb 1913 at Riverport, this Josiah H. WAGNER m. Maggie MYRA. Then, on 5 Jun 1917 at Detroit, MI, a man who is clearly this Josiah H. Wagner states that he is single and registers for the US WWI Draft. And in DEC 1917, he crosses the US border at NB on his way from MI to NS. And finally, a marker at Shepherd's Hill Cemetery, Riverport says:Wagner Josiah 1884 - 1918; Wagner Maggie Myra 1886 - 1968 It is totally unclear how two separate and independent memorials could have him dying in 1900, when he is clearly still alive.
