I am trying to find information on this couples parents. I have a marriage license and
applications for marriage.
Henry M Wagner lists his birthplace as Lafayette, In on Sept 10, 1878. He lists his
present residence as 1831 North 13 st. with his occupation being brewery workman.
It also lists his father as being Chas Wagner, with birthplace being Germany, occupation
Brewer, and residence at 750 North 4 st. He lists his mother as being Mrs. Eva Weinir,
occupation Domestick, birthplace Germany, residence 1831 North 13 st.
Miss Margaret Slaman lists birthplace as Indianapolis, IN on May 7, 1888. Present
residence is listed as 205 Main and Perrin Ave. Fathers name is George Slaman, no
birthplace listed, and residence is dead. Mothers name is Katie Welch, occupation is
domistic, birthplace Ireland, residence is Indianapolis.
The couple was married on June 12, 1907. It is an educated guess that these men would have
been working at the Thieme and Wagner brewery, and I think this might be how they came to
reside in Lafayette. It seems they may have some strait to Lafayette from Germany but I
have no proof. I have also hit a brick wall as to Margarets parents. Any help would be
much appreciated.
