Thanks to Larry Shoger for discovery of the marriage record in Family Search.org of Petrus (Peter E.) Wagner to Anna Catherina Karges 23 Feb. 1854 in the Catholic Church in Wiltingen, Trier-Saarburg, Rhineland-Palatine, Germany.
Petrus E. Wagner was the son of Jacobus Wagner and Catherine Sihr (Zaier).Anna Catherine was the daughter of Johannes Karges and Maria Wagner.
Peter and Anna Catherine migrated in 1855 to Berry Twp. Dane County, Wisconsin where they had a dairy farm and raised nine children.By 1880 the family moved to Mitchell County, Iowa.Anna died in the spring of 1889. . Peter remarried a year later to Henrietta or Harriet Luedtke, but they soon separated.
