Wagner resided in the household of his father and hotel keeper Joseph Wagner (b. ca. 1807, Germany) at 937 North Marshall
Street (Ward 20) with his younger brother and painter Adolph Wagner (b. ca. 1841, Germany) in 1860. Wagner married Pennsylvania-born
Margaret ca. 1860 and relocated frequently within the Northern Liberties neighborhood in the 1860s. By 1870, they lived in
Camden, New Jersey with three children. Wagner returned to Philadelphia, presumably after Margaret's death, and remarried
Philadelphia-native Teresa P. (b. ca. 1842) ca. 1875. They resided at 1212 Cuthbert Street in northern Center City in the
late 1870s and lived at 1131 Fairmount Avenue in the 1880s. They lived in South Philadelphia (Ward 39) by 1910. Wagner died
on December 30, 1913 and his wife wife Teresa P. died three years later on September 1, 1916.
