He came to the U.S. circa 1876, and married his first wife, Lena, with whom he had four children; all born in Philadelphia. Two of his daughters, Gladys and Katchen, survived into adulthood. Lena died on January 11, 1916. Wagner remarried by the 1920 census to a woman named Anna, who died in 1951.<\/p>\n<p>Wagner and his family moved from Philadelphia by the turn of the twentieth century. According to the 1898-1899 edition of American Brewers\u2019 Review: A Monthly Devoted to the Science and Practice of Brewing (vol. 12), Wagner, \u201cThe Philadelphia brewery architect,\u201d was hired to construct a \u201cnew office building\u201d for the brewery for Theresa F. H. Weibel of New Haven, Connecticut. In 1897, he and his family made their way to Hartford, Connecticut, where Wagner became involved with the New England Brewery. He was hired by the Hartford Brewing Company to design a six-story fireproof lager and ale brewery with a boiler and bottling house. The 1900 Census in Hartord and the 1901 City directory for Philadelphia cite Hartford as his residence.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"A.C.

Interestingly, Wagner designed the Kalmbach and Geisel Brewery (later known as the Highland Brewery and then Liberty Brewing Company, but referred to by locals as \u201cCome Back and Guzzle\u201d), the largest in New England before the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution: Prohibition, in place from 1920 to 1933. The father of the literary Dr. Seuss (Ted Geisel) was the co-owner of that brewery in Springfield, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n<p>However, Wagner was more than just one of the most famous brewery designers. He had extensive training and knowledge as a cooper, brewer, engineer, chemist, contractor, and architect. He was also a successful businessman who was always willing to lend his offices for various social and patriotic causes, such as Jews relief in Israel and Palestine in 1922 or the sale of Liberty Bonds to support U.S. government involvement in World War I. He was the founder and president of a number of businesses, including the Merchants Ice Company and, in the years before his death, the Yale Brewing Company. He was involved in real estate and was \u201cassociated\u201d with the New England Fruit Company.<\/p>\n<p>In 1914, he astutely <a href=\"https:\/\/rochestersubway.com\/savecataract\/docs\/wagner\/Expert-Witness-Wagner-1914.pdf\">testified in a court case [PDF]<\/a> defending the Breidt Brewing Company, another brewery that Wagner had designed and built, regarding its \u201cbeer vats that were the subject of the suit.\u201d His training and knowledge in many and various skilled professions was essential in the case.
