Notes for Horace "Hod" Bennett Wagoner:

Living in the household of A. C. Menor. He is 15, a farmhand, and shown as a brother in law.

[1900 Census - Kansas - Phillips - Plum Township - June 22, 1900 - page 8A - image 15]
Horace Wagoner, 35 (Oct. 1864), a carpenter, and wife, Mariam A., 27 (Nov. 1872). He was born in Wisconsin, and his parents were born in Pennsylvania and Maryland, respectively. She was born in Wisconsin and her parents were born in Maine. She had 4 children and all were still living. Also in the family were Charles H. Wagoner, 10 (Feb. 1890); Verne C. Wagoner, 7 (Jan. 1893); Fay P. Wagoner, 3 (Oct. 1896) and Hazel L. Wagoner, 1 (Nov. 1898); all born in Kansas.

Note: Since Mariam's obituary indicates that she had 5 children, we can assume that one was born after 1900.

Note: 1930 Census, Blue Rapids, Mitchell, Kansas states that his "son's father" was born in Ohio, which would conflict with the idea that Horace was born in Wisconsin.

Notes for Mariam "Maye" Ardell Witham:
Obituary - Mercer [Phillips County Review, Phillipsburg, Kansas, May 27, 1948]

Mariam Ardell Witham, daughter of William J. and Lovina Howard Witham, was born in Green county, Wis., on November 20, 1872, and passed away in Agra on May 3, 1948, at the age of 75 years, 5 months and 13 days.

In 1874, the family came to Kansas and located in Crystal township in Phillips county, where Maye, as she has always been known, grew to womanhood. From this home she went to one of her own as the bride of Horace B. Wagoner in March 1889. To them five children were born. One daughter died in infancy.

With the exception of three years spent in Iowa they lived in this community until the husband and father passed away on September 12, 1901, and was laid to rest in the DuBois cemetery.

In August 1905, she was united in marriage to John Mercer of Agra, at Norton, Kans., and in September they established a home in Sherman county, Kansas. Three sons and one daughter were born to this union and then again, great sorrow came into her life when her husband died on her birthday, November 20, 1917. In February 1921, she came back to Agra where she kept a home as long as she was able to do so. For the past few years she has lived with her youngest daughter in Los Angeles, Calif., and with her sons in Wyoming. A few weeks ago, while at the home of her son, Charles at Blue Rapids, Kans., she became ill and because her greatest desire was to come back to Agra, her niece and nephew, Gladyce and Leo French, welcomed her and her children into their home where for the past two weeks everything possible was done for her comfort and care until the end came.

Although her life had many hardships, she found joy in the beauty of flowers and in the other beauties of nature. Especially did she love the spring time and all the little things which interested her children. Many years ago she became a member of the United Brethren church and lived a life true to her faith. Her Bible was her daily comfort and guide.

Of her own generation, she is survived by a brother, Ralph Witham of Agra, and a sister-in-law, Mrs. Etta Witham of Kensington. Her parents and two brothers, Fred and Moses Witham and two infant sisters and one brother preceded her in death. Also a step-son, Fred Mercer, passed away four years ago at Portland, Ore.

Surviving her are eight children, Charles Wagoner, Blue Rapids, Kans.; Vern Wagoner, Longview, Wash.; Faye Wagoner Cooley, Manhattan, Kans.; Hazel Wagoner Peterson, Penrose, Colo.; Jay Mercer, Billings, Mont.; Ernest Mercer, Worland, Wyo.; John Mercer, Cody, Wyo.; and Esther Mercer Petty, Los Angeles, Calif.; two step-children, Elsie Mercer Jupe, Goodland, Kans., and Lloyd Mercer of Denver, Colo. Also surviving her are 29 grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren, several nieces and nephews and many friends.

Funeral services were held Wednesday, May 5, at 2 p. m. at the Christian church in Agra with Rev. F. M. McDonald in charge. Mrs. Harold Scanlan and James Witham sang the beautiful hymns with Mrs. Howard DuBois at the piano. Pallbearers were Carl Freeland, Keith Wagoner, Warren, Osgood and Gerald Witham and Eugene French. The flowers were carried by Mrs. Floyd Beedy, Mrs. Carleton Munyon, Mrs. Millard Sims and Barbara, Mrs. Ivan DuBois, Mrs. Hazel Sargent, Mrs. Duane Dillon and Miss Bonnie Witham. Interment at West Cedar cemetery.
